Johnny Appleseed Prayer

Oh, the Lord is good to me,
And so I thank the Lord
For giving me the things I need
The sun, and the rain, and the apple seed.
The Lord is good to me

Halloween

 TJ had a great Halloween! He has decided it is his favorite holiday!

First he was Batman at his school party!

Then he was a purple and yellow ghost!

When you are super cute bakeries give you lavender macaroons on Halloween!

Neighborhood trick or treating!

 "This is not my Halloween costume, this is what I wear to put out fires"~TJ

October

October has been a very busy and exciting month!

TJ decorated 5 Little Pumpkins - just like his current favorite book "Five Little Pumpkins".

Ghost Dancing!

TJ ran in his first race. A one mile family fun run to support the local elementary school. TJ did a great job and ran a 20 minute mile with Jonathan. He was the youngest runner!

TJ decided coconut La Croix water is his absolute favorite

TJ's third Pride Parade

ABCs in "baby voice" and "monster voice"

Maybe the most exciting part of October (after Halloween of course) is that TJ was old enough to start Fall soccer! He absolutely loves it!

And finally Halloween...

E: TJ what would you like to be for Halloween? 

TJ: ScooDoo Dog. No, Velma

E: Ok you can wear orange and glasses like Mommy.

TJ: No... wanna be TJ

E: Well we wear costumes on Halloween and dress up

TJ: ScooDoo Dog, Velma, Max Wild thing, Rain, AND a TJ

one week later...

E: TJ would you still like to be Scooby Doo for Halloween?

TJ: No Ghost Rain

A few days later..

E: TJ what would you like to be for Halloween?

TJ: Ghost Rain

So here is "Ghost Rain"!!!

He is wearing a ghost shirt under his rain coat - that is how his costume is "Ghost Rain"!!!

Samson also needed a costume (which he was mostly ok with)...

And TJ won best costume in the under 4 category!!! 

He won a gift certificate to a local coffee shop - because caffeine is what every 2.5 year old needs :)

Beach

E, J, and TJ took a quick trip to the beach. E felt like they MUST get some beach time in before it was too cold to get in the water. 

TJ insisted on carrying his suitcase and got very upset when anyone tried to assist him. As you can see it was a pretty large hill, but he is one strong 2.5 year old!

TJ was so excited to be at the beach and a hotel room that he was donkey kicking until 11:00 at night and was awake at 6:30 the next morning! "Beach, Water, Sand - TJ play!"

TJ was fascinated by these large beach bikes, he was very disappointed that he was too small to ride them this year.

Popcorn snack in bed and failed nap attempts!

This is Mr.Bones a Halloween decoration that TJ has decided is his favorite toy ever! 

Halloween

It was one year ago when TJ, E, and J moved into the new house- what an exciting year it has been! This year instead of unpacking boxes (not that there aren't a few left to still do), everyone got to enjoy the neighborhood festivities.

TJ's best buddies at school.

Killer bee!

 The best lollipop TJ has ever had (ok its also the first one...)

 The whole walk home - it was "mmmmm mmmmmm mmmm" 

mmmmm..... (definitely a fan of candy!)

Halloween is great!

This was a picture from the Gay Pride parade a couple of weeks ago- Cute babies get the best swag!

19 Months and Halloween Parties

TJ has had a busy October! 

E and J attempted to get some 19 month pictures.  Mr. Busy was not much for sitting still!

TJ went to a Halloween party at the church dressed as a glow in the dark skeleton.

Then TJ, E, J, and Omi went to "Boo at the Zoo" where TJ went as a "Killer Bee", he did not last very long and fell asleep in line at a the costume contest.

Pumpkin carving was a big hit with TJ, he was fascinated by the pumpkin.
