The day started off with Hailey getting ready for school. Her class was invited to wear their costumes and attend the Halloween bash. Parents were invited to join the class for the first 1/2 hour which Joey and I did. All the kids looked great.
After school we followed our normal routine, nap time. When that was over we headed over to Grandma and Grandpa's so that we can meet up with Uncle Chris, Aunt Michelle, Aunt Annemarie and Uncle Steve this way we could all trick or treat together. For the last few years your Dad has been trying to get all the kids to dress up as the Justice League. Well this year he got his wish and completly by accident. Here's how the League showed: Hailey - batgirl, Joey - superman, John - Batman, Collin - Robin, Kaityln - Wonderwoman. It was great!!! The kids had so much fun running from house to house which they all did on their own. Joey did great for a few blocks running with all the kids. Once he started to run into people's houses we decided he needed a rest for a bit. All in all a great day!!
After enjoying the playgrounds, the hay ride and the train ride, we finally headed over to the pumpkin patch where Joey had the greatest time turning all the pumpkins right side up and making sure they were all in the proper order. Hailey had fun too and made sure she picked the best pumpkin with no "boo-boos"
At the end of the day we headed over to the big blow up slides where we were told Hailey was "too big" to go on the kiddie slides. "TOO BIG", I was shocked and sad all at the same time. This meant that Hailey was able to go on the biggest slide they had with her cousin Dana.
Our little man turned 2 years old today and what a day it was. During the week I had taken him for his birthday pictures which came out GREAT!!! Today we woke up to have breakfast and than we took the kids to Adventureland. They both went on every ride that they could and had a great time.
As soon as we got in the car to head home Joey fell right to sleep. We got home and I continued to straighten up the house in anticipation of our family gathering. At 5:00 we were joined by the entire Baccaray clan including Uncle Rodney who surprised Joey with a visit. We had Joey's favorite, Pizza and got to spend some time together before the other guests arrived. At 7:00 the rest of the family joined us to help us celebrate Joey's day.
On Wednesday we had plans with Phyllis and Lori to get together with all the kids. Unfortunately, Nicholas and Ryan were sick so Lori couldn't join us but we headed out to Phyllis' anyway with Kaitlyn in tow since her day care was closed.
The kids had a wonderful time and tired poor Phyllis and I out. They played together immediately and didn't take their normal hour to warm up to one another. I guess we need to keep these play dates going so that that pattern continues.
