Doctor Will

Yesterday I took Jake and Will for their 4 and 2 year well checks.  4 shots and a finger stick between the two of them.  It was not fun!  After we medicated with frosties, everyone seemed to be OK.  Jake found a doctor kit in the attic and has been checking everyone out ever since.  Last night he was checking Buck out.  Will took one of the doctor kit toys.  Jake said Will doesn't even know what a doctor does.  Buck suggested, "I bet he does.  Will, what does a doctor do?"  Without coaching or hesitation Will responded, "The doctor says, 'No more monkeys jumping on the bed!'"  So there.  He DOES know what a doctor does.

Halloweenie!!!

12th Annual Halloweenie is in the books!  352 hotdogs.  Not too shabby for a Monday!  It wasn't a picture-perfect Halloween, but we sure did have fun!

 Our friend took at least 20 pictures, and this was the best we got.

Wicket lasted as long as I could hold his hands down.  He loves putting things on his head...just not this hood.

 This is how he ended up.  Can you see the juice dripping down his belly and leg?  We did put shorts and shoes on him before we went trick-or-treating.  I told everyone he was dressed as #5.  And for the record, we are experiencing record highs in the mid 80s right now, so he was certainly not cold.  The Wicket costume was actually miserably hot.  He was so stinkin' cute saying "Trick or Treat, Thank you, Happy Halloween, Thank you, Goodbye, Happy Halloween, Trick or Treat, Thank You, Goodbye..." at every house.


Sticking with the theme, Jake was Luke Skywalker

 Ellie was Rey

 Eve was the Indian Princess with a broken arm

 John was Darth Vader, but with those flowing locks, we suggested he could be Anakin just before he turned to the dark side.

Summer, Emma, and Eve

Caelan, Riley, and John

Our friends Dana and Shannon pitched in to help again this year (and Grandma, too, but she missed out on the pictures)
Happy Halloweenie!!!
