First Dentist Trip and No Cavities

Hudson had his very first dentist checkup today. He was nervous and it didn't help that Addie was also very nervous because she hates the dentist and also had a cleaning for today. We let them both bring a comfort animal which I think they were grateful for. We decided to have Hudson go first so that he could show Addie how to be brave and it worked. He did great for his very first time. His bravery rubbed off on Addie and near the end of the visit she actually did better than he did. Hudson did get restless and decided that it wasn't fun at all near the end of his cleaning but overall we're happy with how it went. Both kids have zero cavities which is awesome to hear.

Frozen 2

Addie's four year old cousin Georgia has been planning a girls date since at least July for all of us girls to watch Frozen 2 in the theaters. She wanted Addie, myself, her, her mom, Brooklyn and Ashley to all be invited. The day finally came and Addie got to go to her first girl's date. Jill also had two extra tickets so Georgia allowed Jaina and Jackson to join us. She's pretty funny with how she actually did plan this day for all of us at only four years old. This was Addie's third movie and she did so great. She has seen The Incredibles 2, The Grinch, and now Frozen 2 at the movie theater. She saw a preview for Sonic the Hedgehog which she has never even known about before and now she keeps talking about it. I think she talks more about that preview then she actually does about the movie we saw which is saying something before she actually liked Frozen a lot. I can't wait for the boys to be able to watch this with us once it's out.

Setting Up Christmas

Yes I know, we haven't had Thanksgiving yet. That's still a week away. But today the urge to set up Christmas already was so strong I did not fight it. I took the kids to the store where we bought new decor and I was planning on waiting until after Thanksgiving but Addie and Hudson both wanted to set it up right away and to be honest I was only going to wait because of other people but since all of us wanted to do it I saw no reason in waiting. Danny was really surprised when he came home tonight and saw our Christmas tree up. He was surprised but not disappointed, He was completely okay with it and that's just one more reason why I love him. He then helped us finish up by putting the ornaments on the tree. Christmas might not be for another 32 days but everyone here is already excited for it.

Halloween 2019

This year Addie had her first ever school Halloween party. She chose to be a unicorn and she was the cutest. She was debating on leaving the house as either Owlette, a tiger or a unicorn and eventually chose the last one. Although we do themed costumes every year that does not mean that they can't change their mind or can't have a decision when it comes to what they wear for trick or treating. I've always let them choose whatever they want to be for actual Halloween night. They have so many options with all of the costumes and play clothes that we own that they usually change their mind up to three times on the evening of. I actually love seeing what it is that they decide to be when leaving the house. This year Addie decided to be a unicorn for both her school party and for walking around the neighborhood. Hudson wasn't feeling good at all and didn't want to get into any costume but did wear his Pilot jacket so he still looked great. Plus there's no one who would deny a little two year old boy just because he wasn't in an obvious costume and if there were someone than that person obviously has deeper issues. It turns out that Hudson broke out in a fever and had Hand, Foot and Mouth disease. We felt terrible for him once we figured out what was wrong with him and would have definitely kept him home had we known. Grant went dressed as Jack Jack from the Incredibles because he doesn't really care and he actually likes wearing it. Danny and I went as Mr and Mrs Incredible as we walked around with our kids and received a lot of positive comments about our costumes. 
First school party
Tradition
The first house was to our favorite neighbor Debby Swan and Grant was terrified of their giant dog. After that he was pretty content only being held and avoided knocking on doors until he knew there wasn't any surprise animals waiting for him.
I love this day and I'm already looking forward to next year. Like I mentioned in a previous post we already have our themed figured out, however I will try my best to be patient and not buy all the costumes already. Let's face it, we know I'll at least buy one before the end of January. ☺️
The hint for next year? You gotta catch em all.
