Tonight we had a Trunk-or-Treat at the church. CJ wore the costume he made me order back in September - a Zombie Prisoner.  Trey was supposed to wear whatever costume CJ had worn at his age, but Trey is taller and the lion costume wouldn't zip up without choking him. So, with minutes to spare, we threw together a garbage man costume and he couldn't have been happier. A costume parade, trunk-or-treating and then homemade scones and cider finished it off. CJ said he had "BEYOND a blast." I don't think all the little toddlers that cried because CJ was too scary felt the same but, according to him, "that's the idea."

This kid just kills me. He's turned into such a funny BOY. Where did the toddler years go? Last week in church they were learning about families being together forever and that when they get married they will have their own family and he said, "Not to be rude mom, but I was looking around the room thinking to myself, 'I don't want to get married to ANY of the girls in this class, I want someone hot!'"

So then he got fixated on needing a robe. He said he wasn't saving his money for Legos anymore, he was saving for a robe.  So his sweet dad took him to Target after his soccer game on Saturday and he picked out this robe. He has been wearing ever since. He even told me that "Fall happened right in time for me to get my cozy robe!" I love it.
