Trick or Treat

Keaton and Xander went out as Buzz Lightyear and Pooh Bear this year. Some Halloweens I feel I am all prepared and others I am not. Well, this year was the latter, but the boys were happy and they did have costumes. Thanks to Auntie Jenine who lets us borrow the Pooh Bear costume and as for Keaton he was happy just wearing white pjs, aslong as you called them his space suit they didn't need to be the buzz lightyear space suit. They are so happy to please at this age, I love it. The boys scored on the candy(so did Mommy)and we didn't even go very long. We met at a friends house who lives across the street from the Bob Hope house(i know, only in LA). Xander would stick his hand in the candy buckets, I had to refrain him and then he would want me to open up a candy right then and there. He must get that sweet tooth from his Daddy.

Harvest Time...My favorite Time of Year

I love Harvest Time, thanks to another Jewish holiday, Keaton had off of school, so we headed out with some friends to a pumpkin farm. The boys each got to choose a pumpkin, we got to go on a hay ride, cornfield maze, see the farm animals, and the boys favorite was go on the rides.
Tricycle on steroids...Keaton my negotiator scored free tickets using skills. This is how the conversation went.
K:Mom I really want to go on that ride(tricycle on steroids)
M: We are all out of tickets and you already chose the rides you wanted
K: That's okay, I will just ask that guy(a worker running the ride we were currently on) for more tickets
M: I don't think you will get any (i guess i am the pessimist)
K: He's my friend.
So Keaton walks up to the guy and says,"Can I please have some more tickets, I really want to ride those bikes" The man pulled out of his pocket a handful of tickets and Keaton and Xander each got to go on 2 more rides.
During our first ride Keaton would get off of the jumper go and talk to the worker, then get back in and jump some more and then decide and visit the worker again, and it all paid off for Keaton, he got to ride the tricycles on steroids.
Xander says," Look BIG pumkin," then as he tries to lift one because he thinks he is going to take one of these home to carve he says, " HEAVY"
