Halloween

This past week ended up being more fun than we planned. Monday night Adam and I were successful at trying to put forth more of an effort at having some sort of family night. Earlier in the day Susie made some yummy sugar cookies, so after dinner, which I made sweet and sour chicken, Adam, Tyson, and I went for a walk around the block, frosted some cookies, and then I suggested Adam take some to his home teaching families, which he didn't quite know if that was a manly thing to do, so I gave him the option to either frost the cookies or go deliver them. He opted to frost them. When I hopped in his truck to go deliver them he came out carrying his shoes. I let him drive and I delivered the cookies to the doors. It worked out well and I was glad to see him realize the manliness of going. It all made for a fun night. Wednesday I dressed Tyson in his pumpkin shirt and then he was a bumblebee for Halloween. We had a few trick or treaters who stopped by earlier in the evening, Adam's nieces and nephew, Emily, Erika, Lizzy, and Josh. We stopped at Roma Ann's, who wasn't home, Aunt Angelyn and Uncle Jack's, who filled his little brown bag, and G-ma and G-pa Stout's. That's where he finished his tootsie pop sucker and thoroughly enjoyed. It was funny at Angelyn and Jack's because when some kids would come to the door and they would let them pick candy out of the bowl, you would find Tyson squeezing in to grab his own handful then turn around and look for Adam who had his little baggy to put it all in. We all got a laugh out of him catching on to his own tricking and treating.
