A Hunting We Shall Go

This weekend and last weekend are deer hunting firearm season. Kevin has been at his uncle's property hunting. His uncle's property and my Grandma's are parallel with each other. This is how we met. As much as I want him to hunt I also want him to be at home. I really couldn't imagine being a single mom. Kevin took our nephew, John, hunting this youth season too. Deer seem to be few and far between; needless to say they did not get one.

Last weekend our niece, Rachel, and nephew, John, came over to play with AJ and Ava. AJ played and ran around with them. My camera is acting up and the pictures are not coming out clear and there is a delay when I take the picture. I am wondering if AJ pushed to right buttons and has changed the settings. I am going to have to get this checked out.

Turkey day is so close and that means Christmas will be here before we know it. It seems like it was just August...

Halloween

Ahhh, finally time to sit down and update what is going on with our family. The kids are finally asleep and Kevin is hunting. This was the first year AJ and Ava participated in Halloween. Last year I did not think that AJ needed to go Trick or Treating, but after all the heck I caught for not dressing him up and taking him out I made sure that AJ and Ava both went Trick or Treating this year. The costumes...Ava's was a no brainer and I new she would just go with it...so Lady Bug is was. AJ on the other hand would be a little more difficult. I needed something without a hood or hat and simple for him to put on. We went with the spider costume and still had to bribe him with going to play outside only if he wore his spider costume. It worked like a charm and so we figured we wouldn't have any problems on Halloween. We took the kids down to main street on Friday and on Saturday evening we took them to a few houses on our street. It was awesome! AJ was so darn cute on Saturday. As we left the house he march right up to the first house and knocked on the door. I was amazed how he was not scared and how he sort of knew what to do. He also helped carve the pumpkin. He was so tickled when he reached inside the pumpkin and pulled some of the seeds out. Then he decided that was not for him. This was a great start to the Holiday season!
