I don't want to Halloween!

Every time we have asked Alex what he wanted to be for Halloween he would just say "NO!" so we figured we would go with the safe bet and have him be Mario since he is completely obsessed. A few weekends ago we went and found some overalls for him and some for Zach so they could be Mario and Luigi. Well today was Alex's preschool Halloween party I started getting him dressed and he had a complete melt down and started screaming "I DON'T WANT TO HALLOWEEN!" So with his ride on the way I finally got him to tell me that he did want to go to preschool and just wanted to wear his red shirt. So I sent him off, sans costume, red eyed from crying and told his ride to tell the teacher I was sorry but he said he wanted to go. Well he came home and was just fine and apparently had done well in school, and he told me he "LOVED trick or treating" So now I am left with the dilemma of what to do on Halloween, do I take him to the ward party and trick or treating sans costume, or do I just bag the whole thing and treat it like a normal night? Because he doesn't eat candy anyway?

On another note, Alex asked me for a drink of milk a little while ago, and I had set the milk on the counter while I was putting the lid on his cup and he looked at the milk and said "What is this milk???" and after the morning we had I thought "oh great we are in for it" I told him it was just milk from a different store so it had a different label. Thankfully he accepted that answer and drank his milk. He has a tendency to buck anything that is out of the "norm" he doesn't like it if I switch brands on anything the kid definitely has is quarks that is for sure!

First Field Trip

Today Alex went on his first field trip, and being October they went to a pumpkin patch. They got to go on a "tractor ride" out to the pumpkin patch and then they got to pick their own pumpkins. Most of the small ones were pretty picked over, fortunately we already had nice pumpkins from Grandpa Knight's garden. Then we rode back to the Red Barn and had apple cinnamon doughnuts and they gave the kids coloring books. It was fun to go and see Alex interact with the other kids, he had a lot of fun but was definitely tired and ready to come home.

Alex and three of his classmates Aaliyah, Katie (I think) and Andrew. I am sorry but when I went back through the pictures I thought this picture was just so dang cute, and then I also realized that it was blond, brunette, blond, brunette. I also realized it was boy, girl, girl, boy...

I just got my Kraft Kitchens Food & Family email and there were some WAY cute ideas for Halloween in it. I absolutely LOVED the "Pumpkin" cake! If you don't get their emails here is the link to the cake. http://www.kraftfoods.com/kf/recipes/great-pumpkin-cake-65453.aspx?e=email.

Sorry for the random post, I just had to share that.

I'm not a baby

Alex got up this morning and came out to me, I said "Hey baby!" and gave him a hug (which is a normal morning routine) and then he said "I'm not a baby, I'm a Alex"
Okay then!
