Halloween in April

Today was Ryan's Halloween Birthday party. It was a blast and I think everyone enjoyed themselves. The weather was finally in the 80's, thank goodness. The party started at 12 and everyone ate cold cuts, chili, veggie tray and a bread bowl. At 1 o'clock we went trick-or-treating around our neighborhood. (I set it up with our neighbors ahead of time)! You should have seen some of the peoples faces when they saw us walking around the block in costumes- priceless! We came back and smacked our shark (Jabber Jaws) pinata around, that was fun. Then we opened gifts- Ryan's favorite was Wolverine on a motorcycle! Then we had brownie sundaes- yummy! Ryan said the best thing about his party was hitting the pinata! I included a couple pictures of the day and one of us all dressed up and the watermelon I carved!

1st Picnic of the Year

Last night we had our first picnic of the year. The weather was wonderful. We invited our neighbors Danielle and "B" over for a cookout. Landon made a huge mess, he was filthy by the end of the night. Ryan played outside all day, he loved it. After dinner, Trish, Kennedy and Cooper came over for Smores and we grown ups had some cocktails. Danielle gave the kids a squirt of whip cream in their mouths, they thought that that was the most awesome thing! Fred and "B" had really cool wigs on! It was a great time!

Ryan the Leader

Ryan was the leader on Thursday at his school this week. He could hardly wait to bring in his stuffed animal bear head that goes on his wall at home to show his friends. I didn't see him show his classmates but I guess he explained where it went in his room and then he put it in front of his face and growled. The whole class laughed. He loved it. He got to wear a crown for the day and they sang Happy Birthday to him. He passed out his treat and had a blast! I included some pictures and a video of him growling for the camera.
