Been a while...

Well it's been a while since our last post. We've been busy with our everyday routine plus a few other treats (but nothing really exciting enough to blog about). Yesterday was a big day in Tucker's little world. He spent the morning and early afternoon at Mother's Day Out as usual, but he was suprised when daddy got to pick him up. The machine was down yesterday, so Matt took advantage from some overtime earlier in the week and spent the afternoon with us. Tuck was playing away when we walked into his classroom, but when he saw his daddy he went crazy. We then talked daddy into a trip to the playground where Tucker went down the slide MANY times. Tuck screamed with delight each trip down. He doesn't like anything but the slide, so I think we may have to ask Santa for one. We then went home for a short nap before heading off to church. Like most Wednesdays, Tucker goes to bed early from all of the excitement that he experienced.

Tomorrow is Tucker's first dentist appointment. This should be interesting. However, he then gets to spend the night with nan and pa while we go to Tulsa for the football game. Hopefully the fun from the night away will cancel out the dreadful dentist appointment!

Halloween

Last year's Halloween was pretty low key considering Tucker was only a couple of weeks old. He slept in his stroller through the entire carnival. Well this year we pulled out all of the stops...and Tucker loved every minute of it. He went dressed as a monkey. He was absolutely cute despite sweating a lot due to the warmer weather. We began the fun on Wednesday with a trip to Ada for the Trinity carnival. Tucker loved the duck pond. He screamed when we had to let other kids have a turn, so we broke the rules and returned for a second time.

Friday was a big day for all. We passed out candy to a few trick-or-treaters before heading to the church carnival. Tucker had a ball going to the various booths and even won the cake walk a couple of times. He got lots of candy for mommy and daddy to enjoy...even though Tucker snuck a little taste Saturday morning. While washing dishes I noticed that Tucker was quiet. I peeked around the corner to see that he had found the candy bowl and was helping himself to a mini-reese's cup. He enjoyed half of it while I fished the wrapper out of his mouth. Later, we completed the weekend of Halloween fun with a trip to Ada for Ada's official trick-or-treat night where he got a mega-size bag of M&Ms. Wow, I'm thankful that we get an extra hour of sleep tonight!
