Today is a day that as a parent, I don't ever want to forget.
I want the images of today burned in my memory forever.
We started out the day going to a show called "The Great Zucchini" (a kid’s entertainer) at one of the Smithsonian museums.
Jaxon was laughing so hard that he couldn't sit up, he had to lay on the floor and laugh - that gives an entirely new meaning to ROTFL for me.
Parents around us were even laughing because he was laughing so hard - it was infectious. The entertainer loved it because even things that were not that funny - Jaxon made funny by laughing so hard.
Jax even got to go up on stage and help him - he was so cute. He loved it. I love it. I love him. Addy was great - happy and content and darling.
We went home and played and had a good time - then Jax watched part of a movie while I got some work done and Addy took a nap and then we got ready to go trick-or-treating.
We drove into DC and met our friends at their house in Capitol Hill - we walked to a little Halloween Party and then started trick or treating in East Capitol Hill. It was so much fun and I loved every second of it.
It was very different than any trick-or-treating I have done - so much better - it was so much fun.
It was cold - Addy cried and fussed a little because she was cold - Jax got scared - I got scared when Jax would run toward the street - lots of amazing costumes - awesome people with their wine glasses sitting and enjoying their evening handing out candy to the dressed up excited kids - Jax's excitement at each new house - him saying trick-or-treat and then Thank you after he received candy - Jax making people laugh because of funny things he says - the conversations I have with Jax - the smiles I get from Addy - the great sport that Addy is - missing Dan and wishing he was with us - getting so excited when Dan got out of class earlier than expected - the awesome feeling of walking around with everyone in fun creative costumes and talking to complete strangers - getting yummy candy - watching Jax get so excited over his candy - asking if he can have one more piece 8 times.
So much about today I don't want to forget - we missed Dan being able to trick or treat with us but are so grateful to new friends for inviting us and helping out with Jax to make our night so fun.
What a great day!
So I have had this problem as well. What I did was create a new gmail account and that's the account that I post with. So then you can keep the same blog address and if you are printing your book it is all in one place. Just FYI if you decide you wanted to do that. I am going to post this comment on your new blog too in case you don't check this one.
ReplyDeleteHolidays are so much more fun with kids! cutest zebra I've ever seen, and a great Spiderman! So glad it was a success after a crazy storm.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you guys had a great Halloween! Addy and Jax are adorable in their costumes. I hope there comes a year when we can take our kiddos trick or treating together! :)
