Super Letters


I know I'm biased, but I just think he's so darn smart.  He loves to point out letters whenever we are in stores or restaurants, but my favorite is when he sees letters in his food.  Mostly he finds the letter L when he takes a bite out of a sandwich, or if he eats from the edge it sometimes makes a P, but 2 bites makes an M. Such a clever boy.

Halloween 2010


This year for Halloween Jack was a tiger. We had lots of parties and opportunities to wear his costume, but all I have is a million photos of the side of his head as he would run by, so this grumpy tiger picture is the best I've got.  It was warm, comfortable, and easy to put on so it was a perfect costume.

I did take Jack out trick-or-treating around the block on Saturday night with his best buddy Caroline. She embraced the holiday and would run from door to door knocking and grabbing handfuls of candy. Jack kept making me carry him between houses then would stare at people and couldn't have cared less about the candy.  Throw in some cold rain and the Utah football game playing at home and we didn't stay out too long.  Thankfully he's young enough that passing out candy is as much fun if not more so than collecting it.

Sunday night we had a Halloween party at my parents house with his cousins. The kids got to trick or treat from door to door in the house and got fun trinkets. Then my brother in law came up with a bunch of Minute to Win It games that were fun.  It was a good Halloween.
