Boo!

I know I brag about how cool Brooks is all the time, but it's the honest truth. Proof: Something was up with him yesterday and he was not in the mood to do anything, much less put on a silly costume and walk 10 miles. But even when homeboy is in bad/cranky moods, he is still so much fun! By the end of the night, not only was he walking up to houses on his own, he was picking out one (or two) pieces of candy from the jar, and putting it in his bag. Kid is a fast learner!


No one really goes trick-or-treating in the apartment complex where we live, so we hopped in the car and headed over to a super nice neighborhood right down the road behind Kroger. It seemed to be a trend because the Kroger side parking lot was packed!

Corinne was lucky enough to get the honor of taking him to his first house! Ellie met up with us later and joined in on the fun.


B struggled in the beginning to get outta his funk and to get used to the dragon head that was covering half of his face. The pixie-stick helped him as he used it as a walking stick! I'm going to have to remember that when Zach and I live somewhere were kids will come for candy because those pixie-sticks were the talk of the neighborhood, big hit!


So Corinne and I took turns carrying/pushing him in the stroller until he came up to a nice house where the owner saw Brooks struggling, and came down to the end of her driveway so B didn't have to walk up. All he needed was a little motivation from the kids that came up around him, and he was on his way! He literally turned, stuck out his pixie-stick and yelled, as if he were saying "Onward!"



The best part of the night was when we came home and got to divide out the candy! Adults=ALL Baby=NONE. Not totally haha, we let baby try a few different pieces. Loved anything with chocolate (DUH, who doesn't?) but wasn't a big fan of smarties or gooey fruit snacks.






Other exciting news in our lives:

1.WILLIAM ZACHARY CARMAN IS A STUDENT OF THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY!!!! I am so proud of him, he is doing everything he said he would and more. He is going to do big things, I know it!

2.Our not-so-fun neighbors moved out!!! YAY!!! No more meanies leaving unnecessary notes on cars, or unwanted poo in our yard, or unruly children running a muck outside! Zach and I are hoping a cute young couple, say 24-25 years old, with maybe a 1 or 2 year old move in! Wouldn't that just be perfect?

3.Brooks and I have a playdate tomorrow!

4.I've put some new videos on YouTube, most of them are for Zach, so they may not be super exciting to everyone else, but check it out if you wish. Our page is TheCarmanBaby.

That is all! Have a good week everyone!
