I Am Thankful for.....

Today has been a busy, busy day.  So much to do!  We leave for Philadelphia in the morning.  Jadon has an appointment at Shriner's with Dr. Kozin on Friday.  So in between playing with toddlers, feeding toddlers, and cleaning up after toddlers I was packing.

Even though my day was full I still found the time to do something I feel is very important as a citizen of this country.  I found the time at the end of my day to exercise my right to vote.  So today I am thankful that I live in a nation where I am given the privilege to vote.  I know there are many people around the world who would love to be able to do so.

Today I Am Thankful For......

It is November, the month of Thanksgiving.  A month to remember our blessings.  I am going to try to post something I am thankful for everyday this month.

Today I am thankful for the wonderful weather we continue to have.  Sunny, not too cold, days that allow us to get outside and play.  We really enjoyed our time outside today.

Howdy, Cowboy!

Jadon was a cowboy for Halloween.  I think his outfit turned out perfect.  The bollo tie and the belt buckle really make the outfit.  They are also very, very special.  Jadon's Great Grandpa Carol made both of those for Matt when he was little.  I think it is pretty cool that Jadon gets to wear them now.  Carol and Bea would have really gotten a kick out of that! 

I think that Jadon was a little confused at first.  Why were we knocking on strangers doors?  It did not take long for Jadon to figure out that he got candy every time someone answered the door.  It helped that big brother, Jake, was showing him the ropes. He never said trick or treat but he was ready to take any candy that was offered.  It ended up being great therapy for Righty too.  Every time that Jadon had to take candy he would switch his pumpkin over to Righty so he could take the candy with Lefty.  He did a great job considering the pumpkin started getting a little heavy after awhile. 

Jadon lasted about an hour and then he was getting a little grumpy.  After we were done making the rounds around town we went to visiting some other family that wanted to see Jadon all dressed up in his cowboy gear.  I think Jadon had a pretty good Halloween!
