A Sunday Stroll

This afternoon something very exciting happened at our house...it snowed! :-) The snow didn't stick to the ground, but Sam was not to be deterred from being outside. So, Evan being the amazing daddy that he is took Sam on a walk around our neighborhood in the freezing cold...for an entire hour!! He sent me this picture that he took with his phone. It's classic Sam. He wanted to wear a hat and only this sun visor would do. I guess sun visors go well with puffy jackets, especially when you're three. Of course he had to push his baby "Judah" in the stroller (there's a kid in his preschool class named Judah. I think that's why he named his baby this). And of course there's the stick he picked up along the way that turned out to be a great walking stick. Walking stick in one hand and the stroller in the other. I love it. I love that he had such a fun time being himself outside in the cold. I love my little boy and all the quirks that come with being three years old! :-)

Halloween 2010

In case you are wondering, Sam is an elephant and Lauren is a lion. ;-)

This year's main Halloween event was our ward's annual "Trunk-or-Treat!" Both kids were very tired and equally as grumpy right before we left for the party...so much so that Evan and I thought about putting them to bed and watching a movie downstairs with our big bag of Halloween candy from Costco. But we decided against it and put both kids in the car (without their costumes on) and left. At the church we coerced them each into their costumes (as long as there were no hats/hoods that had to be worn they were okay).

They both ended up having a great time (although we couldn't get either of them to smile for the camera). Who wouldn't have a great time in a parking lot full of friends with a big bucket of candy?!?

Later that night Evan and Sam lit our jack-o-lanterns. Sam thought it was the greatest thing ever.

Love this picture of Sam with his Daddy. :-)
