Clearance Gold

Charlie and I went to Target last week, and we happened upon the clearance Halloween section. Everything was 90% off! So, when I found this for $1.70, I could not resist. Total score!

Buckey Hat

I gave Charlie this tupperware when it cracked a little on the bottom, and now he calls it his buckey (bucket). Last week he started putting it on his head and calling it his buckey hat. He likes to pull it down over his nose-probably because the first time he did it, Craig and I cracked up!

Weird Eating Habits

I poured Charlie some cereal the other morning-Chocolate Marshmallow Mateys-and he started asking for crackers. I asked if he wanted them in his bowl, and he said yes, so I gave him some. Then he asked me to pour milk on it! Gross! But I did it, and he ate it :)

Later that same day, I asked him what he wanted for lunch. He ran over to the pantry and pulled these out. I asked him if this was what he wanted for lunch, and he said yes. So I put a little of the onion salt on his hand, and he licked it off and said "Mmm!" and asked for more. What can I say? :)

Cook!

One of Charlie's favorite activities is to help me cook. He runs around saying "Cook! Cook! Cook!" because he loves watching me. He even gets to help me put ingredients in the bowl sometimes. Right here he got a little distracted by eating some icing to be too much help, but he was enjoying himself :)

Charlie always tried to grab the measuring spoons and cups when I've used them and they're covered in stuff, so I always tell him he can't have them-they're dirty. Apparently he thought that's what they were actually called, so now he calls them dirty-as a noun, not an adjective. Except it sounds more like dooty :)

Houston Weather

So, two weeks ago, we were running out the door to church only to discover this branch right on top of Craig's car...yeah. Apparently there had been some strong wind during the night. Thankfully it only scratched his car a little bit-no broken windshield or anything. 

Halloween

The Friday before Halloween was our ward Fall Festival and Trunk or Treat. Charlie had a blast running around with all of the little boys in our ward and playing around the beanbag toss pumpkin. You'll notice that Craig is missing from all of these pictures-he was at his school carnival that always falls on the same night as the Fall Festival. Bummer.

I saw a picture of this online, and I had to make one for myself. I thought it turned out pretty well :) And even though it was 75 degrees outside and I was sweltering, it was totally worth it!

At our first stop at the Trunk or Treat, Charlie decided to make himself at home and took a seat on their camp chair-they thought it was hilarious :)

Charlie kept trying to give people candy after they had given him some-he loves to share :)

Ok, besides the retarded look on my face, my costume turned out pretty darn well :)
