Is it time yet????

Kolton called these spiders his "Big Bugs". We had them on the front of the house. He had to say "Hi" to them and "Goodbye" every couple of hours. He was almost devastated when we put them away, and still asks about them daily.

So much changes in a year. Last year we took Kolton trick or treating in my Dad's neighborhood and he really didn't comprehend what was going on and why we were dragging him around. The poor kid wasn't even walking yet. In fact, I really felt like we were using our poor baby to get some free candy...

This year we went back to my Dad's and boy was there a huge difference. Not only did Kolton LOVE his Train Engineer costume (Thank you Grandma Chris), he put on quite the show for everyone. He walked up to every house without prompting for the most part, always said "Please" instead of "Trick or Treat" (which people thought was sooooooooooooo cute) and even said "thank you" after he dove into their candy bowls. He made it around an entire block all on his own and had so much candy by the end of it that he couldn't carry his bag anymore. It was a really fun night. I can't imagine what next year will be like with Kolton AND Karson. So much fun!
