This is Halloween...

I've said it before, and I'll say it again.... I LOVE HALLOWEEN! This year for Halloween we decided to make good use of some old costumes, so we revisited our costumes from Halloween 2 years ago when Xander was Blayne's age. The only problem was we needed to come up with a costume for Xander so he could join in the family costume fun! Being the brilliant man that he is, Zach came up with the perfect solution. It went perfectly with the other three costumes and with Xander's idea that he's the one in charge.
What do you think?




We had a great time at our ward Halloween party and the boys even walked away with prizes for #1: The most creative costume(Xander), and #2: The cutest costume(Blayne).





We had a great time trick-or-treating and listening to Xander say "Rik or Reet!" LOVE that boy! Now were just dealing with the never ending pleas for more candy, and the creative ways in which he tries to get it for himself. I never knew a toddler could move a chair so quietly. Hope everyone had a fun Halloween! BOO!!!

Top That

When I get home from work Xander is usually stuck to me like glue. What can I say, daddy is his favorite!! Last night I needed to clean the bathrooms and had a very difficult time cleaning the bathtub with him on me like Maury on paternity tests, so I decided to let him take a bath while I deep cleaned the rest of the bathroom. He loved the idea and had a good time... until he started getting bored. He first decided to sit up in the corner of the bathtub. I heard this loud bang and then saw Xanders naked bum staring right at me, which led to a very loud scream. He didnt realize that he was a little too slippery to do that. I know old people fall getting out of the bathtub, but I guess its the same for kids too, (wow, old people and young people have so much in common, slipping in the bathtub, no teeth and diapers.) I put him back in the bathtub and began organizing our drawers when I heard another weird noise. I called for Xander, to which I heard a splash and looked in to see what he was doing. Xander looked at me with a smile, pointing to his dimple and saying, "me a good boy," which always means he is not being a good boy. I walked over to the bathtub and to my horror and disgust saw the toilet bowl plunger sitting in the bathtub fully submerged with my little nugget. I was so grossed out. I had to drain the water and refill it again in order to bath him again, and while the water was leaving Xander decided to top his previous nastiness by standing up, holding himself and laughing about how far his urine went. Yeah, yeah you say, boys will be boys, but that is nasty. I want to see if anyone can top that nasty tale with their own kids or is mine alone in his grossness?
