Thanking our Garbage Men!

Notice the garbage man handing the cookies to the driver!

Cameron is in LOVE with our garbage men and from the day he could walk and understand they were coming he has stood by the window waving and hoping for a wave and a honk back. These days Cameron dons his boots and runs in a frenzied hurry, to the end of the driveway waiting and waving each Tuesday morning to greet the men and their green machine.

Cameron, being a kind and thoughtful young man, has wanted to bake cookies for the garbage men for quite some time now. So, last week we whipped up a batch of chocolate chip cookies just for our garbage men. Warm cookies in hand, Cameron stood outside in the pouring rain waiting and jumping up and down with pure excitement! He handed the cookies off and told the garbage men he made them especially for them. They smiled and thanked him with big grins, waves and extra honks!! I'm assuming garbage men don't receive fresh backed, warm, chocolate chip cookies very often. Today Cameron made our garbage men's day AND brought warm fuzzies to my heart and his as well. We could not be more proud of our little man and his BIG heart!!

Static Cling!!

What happens when you "fluff" blankets on and off two kids sitting on the floor playing peek-a-boo? Good old static cling! Such fun and even better pictures for sure.

Happy Halloween!

What a fun time we've had this year! Cameron decided a while back that he wanted to be an airline pilot, so with a little help from a good friend, an Alaska airline pilot himself, we managed to put together the perfect Halloween costume. Once dressed and luggage candy holder in tow, Cameron (very seriously) asks, "Now Mommy, where is my airplane?" So cute! Audrey too had a good time. She dressed up as our favorite neighbor's dog, Captain. She is able to bark like a dog with a small "woof, woof" which of course, makes us all laugh.

On Halloween night, we enjoyed a fine dinner of yummy black bean soup (witches brew) at the Gostin's house and then headed out to trick-or-treat once it got dark. The kids had fun and enjoyed a crisp, dry evening and a full moon to light the way!
