I was looking through the videos on my phone tonight and found this one of Dante and "Geegaw" riding on the lawn mower. I think it was Dante's favorite part of the trip.
This was the first year that Dante really understood what trick or treating was all about. It seemed magical for him as he held out his bag and people put candy in it. He was really getting into it. Jack Henry joined us and the boys had a great time. Both did really well in their costumes and made a very cute pair.
Dante and I spent the day with friends at the pumpkin patch yesterday. He had a really great time. He loved the tractors, donkey's, pumpkins but most of all he loved painting his pumpkin. He could have easily sat there all day painting pumpkins, he put a lot of thought into what he was doing. He was a little shorted on his nap but was a little trooper and hung in there for me all day. I realize that I am a little behind on his blog and will try to get his 2 yr. pictures up soon!
Well Jason and I have survived 2 years, yeaaaahhhh parents! Truly the past 2 years haven't been bad, we were really lucky to have a super easy kid. Do I hear some people out there cursing us???? Oh, don't worry... as Celine Dion says, "It's all coming back to me (us) now". Terrible two's have seem to hit exactly on time. It's like there was a switch that was turned on. Every day there HAS to be a tantrum about something, doesn't really matter what, there has to be a tantrum. Here are some shots of the birthday party (the calm before the storm).
Here a few pictures from about a month ago. This is one of Dante's blow up pools. I went to a lot of work brining warm water from inside the house since it didn't have time to warm up only to have him refuse to get in. He was happy to just play with his toys while standing outside the pool. Oh well!
