halloween, etc.

Last Monday we took Jace to Barnyard Boo to celebrate Halloween since he was going to be in Malad the rest of the week. He had a great time playing the games and riding the horse. He decorated his own sugar cookie and then licked all the frosting off. We went on a wagon ride pulled by very "strong" horses (that's what Jace remembered about it).



For Halloween Grandma Tubbs took Jace trick or treating (lucky for him) at the nursing home. I think this is a great idea so maybe we will take him next year to a nursing home around here. My mom had a ninja turtle costume that he decided he wanted to wear. She said at first he tried to give out his candy but by the end wouldn't let go of his bag for anything.



Also, while at Grandma's, Jace got to go to school with her and decorate cupcakes. And, he got to play with Uncle Jakey's trains all week. He had a lot of fun at Grandma's and didn't want to leave.

When he got home we gave him his Halloween card from Great-Grandma and Grandpa Plowman. He loves receiving and opening mail (which he calls email) and was so excited to get a dollar in his card. We gave him a jar to put it in and he wanted to sleep with it and eat with it. He has developed a bit of an obsession with his money so I took advantage of it and bought his Halloween suckers from him for sixty cents. When asked if he is going to save his money he adamently replies, "No! I not save money!"

Yesterday we took Jace with us to vote. He pushed the buttons for Jared and proudly wore his "I voted" sticker.




This morning we woke up to snow. Jace was very excited and put on his coat and snow boots so we could go outside in the snow. When he saw the car he said, "Oh no! The car is all wet."

As for me, I'm feeling fine, taking it easy and just waiting for Monday when I take the pregnancy test. Jared has done a stellar job picking up the slack this past week.
