Here are the costumes of our Halloween 2009. Maren went as a Snow Leopard, Corby is Batman, Conner is Superman, and Brenna is a little princess. We started off our night going to the Treasure Coast Mall and trick or treating, in the nice air conditioning, from shop to shop. After, we mosied on down to the church where we proceeded to have fun at the ward Halloween party and annual Trunk or Treat. I offered to take them to a neighborhood for real door to door trick or treating, but their feet hurt and they were plenty satisfied with their loot they collected. So off back home we went where we watched the Labyrinth then the Halloween Tree. Nice close to a good day. HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYBODY!!!! Til next year.
Brenna also had fun at Conner's School Halloween party. They had a Parade and everything. Afterwards, Conner's class went on a field trip to a pumpkin patch where he was able to pick out a pumpkin to bring home. They were supposed to go to the pumpkin patch on Monday, but the bus driver came down with the flu, so they had to post pone it. The teacher wrote down the comments the different kids said about the bus driver being sick, Conner's comment was that he should eat crackers and drink a soda to help him feel better. When they returned to school they had a little party. The teacher was impressed with his healthy appetite. When she asked him what he wanted on his plate he said that he wanted a little of everything. That is defiantly the Thompson side shining through. Although this isn't the only time he impressed her with his appetite. When they were doing a lesson about the five senses, on the day they did the sense of taste the teacher said that Conner was the only one who would taste each of the foods, and to eat them up as well. They were items like a lemon, a grapefruit, sugar, and a few other things I can't remember right now. 
Here are a few cute pictures from Conner's Costume party at school. Corby was able to walk in the parade dressed as Batmas. Of course Conner was Superman. Do you like the homemade costume? I had a hard time finding a superman costume his size, so we made one. He loved it just the same. I'm trying to get some more pictures uploaded, but it is going so slow. It's late and I'm tired. I think that I will upload the other ones later. Good Night every one and I hope you all had a Happy Halloween!!!!
Here is Corby's fun filled birthday update. Since daddy is on night shift at the power plant we first dropped off Big sister at the bus stop and big brother at PVK. Then came the fun stuff. We played at McDonald's playground and ate a light breakfast. Then we headed over to Toys R Us where we found the perfect birthday presents for our Birthday Boy. Then we picked up Conner, played a bit on the school playground, then headed to the library where we played with puzzles, played on the computer, and checked out fun books. Afterwards we picked up Maren at the Bus Stop by bike, and made Corby's blue and green birthday cake, special order. Then we woke up daddy, and sang happy birthday to Corby, after his afternoon nap. Corby still looks tired in the pictures. But he had loads of fun playing with his presents. Thank you Grandma Von, and Grandma and Grandpa Thompson for the fun gifts. When I told Corby that he is 3 and not 2 now, he just said "No... I'm 2." Denying his age already.... It will take awhile for him to get used to 3. Another cute thing he said the other day, was when I was going through the shoes and clothes. He now can wear Conner's old things, but when I went to put them on him, he said, "No, That's Conner's!" I had to explain that everyone is getting bigger and that they didn't fit him anymore, but they fit Corby now. After awhile the got the concept, or at least he accepted the situation and accepted the "New" (used) clothes that Conner had outgrown. Kids are so cute. Well we had a fun, long day. Now it's time for the Birthday Boy to really get some sleep. Good Night Everyone!!! We love you!!!!
