It has been a great week of new words and lots of play time outside in the chilly weather. That has been hard on me, as I'd rather been tucked away inside than trudging through the neighborhood checking out all the fascinating things only a toddler would love. Just today I pulled out my very unflattering, yet very warm fleece lined jeans, the ones I bought when I was doing work crews with the probation kids. Thomas enjoys saying "whoa" to things he thinks are interesting, and he's also saying "wowwww" more and more.
Today, Jodi and I took the kids out to Donette Studio to get their Halloween picture taken. Lauren was Elmo and Thomas was a big furry bear. The kids did great, and it will be interesting to see "Elmo" and "Bear" together in their picture. We went trick or treating at Matt's office and then I raced over to John's office, then we headed back to Jodi's house to eat pizza and cupcakes with the Lawrences, Bruce and Lil, and Punky. Lil brought an incredible salad and a fruit plate, and it was delicious. It was quite the scene watching the kids race from all ends of the house (to greet the kids at the door, ofcourse!) when the doorbell rang, and I'm sure the trick or treaters coming to the door weren't sure what to make of six screaming kids jumping up and down meeting them at the door. Maybe they were a bit frightened! The pouring rain, thunder and lighting kept us at five neighbor house, and we came back to the house soaking wet, but it was a great time none the less! We had a lot of fun with Thomas's second Halloween!
