Tyler Turns Four

Tyler was all about his BIG Day today. I had to unlock the guest bedroom door at 8am, so he could open his presents.  He was so excited and loved everything he recievedI wasn't able to pick his cake up until after 2pm, but he didn't seem to mind. He did have a big piece of cake, after Michigan won in the 3rd overtime. One of these days, I need to record him singing the U of M fight song, "Hail to the Victors".

Trick Or Treat

Plans constantly change when you live with three boys. First, the boys wanted to be characters from Happy Days, then I pulled out costumes on got on clearence last year. Tyler found a Optimus Prime costume that he loved. Jack was going to be the Bumble bee transformer, then a hammer head shark. I took him shopping and he decided on Ironman.



.
After the Lions won the football game yesterday, I got out the Lions football player costume. I totally forgot we had it. Tyler loved wearing it and many people commented on the teams win


I wanted to go to the dorms and trick or treat inside, but all the boys vetoed that idea. They lasted 30min and Tyler was tired of walking. Jack said," I like trick or treating, but I don't want the candy". Tyler was into it this year, telling Jack, "Let's go".



Pumpkin Carving or not

It happens every year, I buy pumpkins and we wait to the last minute to carve them.

We only carved one and I tried to get Jack to help clean out the pumpkin. He said, "Ewww, it smells, it's gross and why don't you just do it." .

Tyler didn't want anything to do with the carving, so he just did the plastic push in pieces

Tyler's first field trip

Last week, Tyler's preschool class went to Papa's Pumpkin patch for a hayride, picking pumpkins, donuts and cider. Here are just a few photos.
He found a pumpkin just his size. Plus he found one for Dad, who was hunting in southern Illinois.
