Movin' On Up....

To a big boy bed that is! How exciting is that?!? After weeks..wait, make that months of deciding what would be the best decision, should we go twin bed or full bed, bunk bed or trundle bed...we have done it!!! We opted for a twin sleigh bed with storage underneath that can be converted to a trundle. It's a good looking set and Braxton is extremely excited! What a great daddy Braxton has. 5 hours later the bed and dresser are assembled. Now it's time to determine where everything goes.

Our first night in the big boy bed! We read stories and then little B had 2nd thoughts on where he wanted to sleep..so, I brought out the crib mattress that he has been sleeping on and laid it right next to the BBB and gave him the option. Daddy just checked on him and he was in the new bed.

Keep your fingers crossed that the transition is smooth. Pictures to follow!

Fun Times at the Fair!







The Wiggle Worm
What's the next ride???

The Fun House with daddy!

Next was the Tug Boat....I think daddy had a harder time with this...tee hee!



Going Hog Wild!



The Fair is here!

I love the fair - always have...always will! I have to say I love it for different reasons now - Braxton! We had such a great time. You couldn't have asked for better weather. It was 74 and sunny all day. Braxton was such a joy to watch. We rode the Fire Truck, the Tug Boat, The Wiggle Worm, 4 Wheelers, The Hog Wild Motorcycles, The Carousel, The Olde Timey Wagons, Drove Dump Trucks and went through the Fun House. And of course, the fair is not a trip to the fair without a corn dog. The livestock wasn't as big of a hit as I thought it would be, matter of fact, Braxton wanted nothing to do with the horses. Which really surprised me considering he rode a pony 2 weeks ago. All in all we had a blast. It was the perfect family day!

PS - Braxton is just like his daddy. Note a few of the carousel shots, he is looking up figuring out how the whole carousel ride works....oh-boy! Watch Out!

Boo - Ha - Ha!!!

Braxton's best Spiderman Stance!

The Sweet witch is reading her potion to cast a spell on Spiderman! Did she say treat....how about a hug from Spiderman And we're off....the fun begins Trick or Treat or as Braxton said once or twice "Gimme candy!"





Winding down...what a night!


What a difference a year makes! Last year, we basically had to drag Braxton out of the house, went to MAYBE 10 houses and called it a night. This year - different story! An hour and a half later and we were still treking! His best bud Olivia (and Miss Karen & Mr. John) came over to help celebrate Trick or Treating. We piled Spiderman and the cute witch of Bayshore in the wagon and were off! The kids were super cute. They couldn't get to the top of the steps quick enough, ring the doorbell, say Trick or Treat (sometimes would do the whole speel) or a simple Happy Halloween, most of the time a Thank You and were racing to the next house. There were a few houses Braxton let himself in...literally! After scoring with the goods we went back and ordered pizza! The night was not only a success but a ton of fun!



Happy Boo Ha Ha Everybody.....as my sweet Braxton would say!
