Our track star
We helped him "sprint" to the door each time the doorbell rang so that he could greet the kids, show his excitement at the costumes, flirt with the girls and then close the door behind them. He did this repeatedly for almost 2 hours. Needless to say, he was all tuckered out by the end of the night. I guess next year with be his official debut on the trick-or-treat scene.
I can't help but post this picture of Michael's friend, Benjamin, in his costume. His mommy is very creative, if you ask me.
Tim and I are working hard to get our yard ready to lay our irrigation lines followed by our raised garden beds and fruit trees. We invested in a tractor to assist us in this undertaking and we will be spending most of our free time focusing on this lofty goal. Michael is a big help loading rocks into the wheel barrow. He is also helping us move massive amounts of dirt. He usually accomplishes this by carrying the dirt into the house on his clothes and shoes. He is loving life.
As you can see, Michael loves being outside. I am going to be doing a lot of muddy laundry and sweeping the floors more often. Between Tim and Michael, I am not sure if there is more dirt in the yard or the house most days.
I hope you all are enjoying your fall weather and making plans for another memorable Thanksgiving. We are planning to spend the weekend with friends. We will send photos of the festivities.
