Trick or Treat

Bode had a preschool party the morning of Halloween and then after I picked him up we headed straight to Clint’s work. They let the kid trick or treat to everyone and the boys loved it! Bode kept complaining that he was so hot and wanted to take off his costume, but we kept telling him he couldn’t get any candy unless he kept it on.

My monkey and dragon were a big hit. This year Bode said he wanted to be a dragon again. Instead of being a super cool mom and talking him into something new this year, I was like thinking SWEET! I think his outfit from last year will still fit. While I was downstairs looking for it, I found Bode’s old monkey costume he wore when he was one. PERFECT. Didn’t have to spend a dime for either one of the boys this year. I know, I already said. I’m lame like that.

Bode is FOUR

Bode kept talking about his birthday coming up and how he was so excited for his party. There was one slight problem. THERE WAS NO PARTY. I’ve been so busy with my little photography business this last few months it’s been insane. At the last minute I pulled together inviting a few of his friends and cousins, getting a cake, presents, and booking Cabelas for the party. He was so excited and had such a fun time!

I can’t believe that my baby boy is already 4. He’s growing up so fast. He’s so smart and so kind. He loves Owen and he really does try to make me and Clint happy. He definitely has his moments sometimes, but I couldn’t wish for a better kid. I’m so proud of him and I adore his tender heart. Love you Bode!

He was spoiled this year. He got a Kindle Fire HD, a new coat (which he could have cared less about..), A few new dino things, and some Wii games. He was in heaven.

Bode got a bunch of money from grandparents and an aunt and he was so excited to spend it. Clint took him to Toys R Us and sent me this picture in a text that said, “That was easy.” Bode and his dinosaurs!!!

This is Bode playing with his new kindle. He said, “You got me an iPad!?” Hahahhaha. I wish buddy. The Kindle will have to do. :)
