Trick or Treat


How can you not give candy to a face like this? We had such a fun night. You know when trick or treating you go to people's homes, well, not Jarrett. We went to one house and then everyone came there to see him. Boy is he going to have a rude awakening when more grandbabies and a new sibling comes into the picture. I have a feeling that he won't allow attention elsewhere if he can help it. His outfit was so fun, I couldn't decide if he should wear the hat or not with his own orange hair. I stuffed his outfit with kitchen towels. It was hilarious from behind. I wanted to put a note that said "wide load." Everyone kept joking with him saying..."Jett, you've got junk in your trunk." Very funny!

Well, we are surviving Greg being gone, but so thankful that he comes home early Wednesday morning. I just really miss my companion. He is doing well. I think he is a bit homesick and ready to be done with school. Somedays are overwhelming with all of the information, but overall it has been really good - just a lot of reading. He has his check-ride on Tuesday morning (it's the test that says if he passes or not), so if you think about it, I'm sure he would appreciate your prayers.


Jett has been doing pretty good. I can tell that he really misses his daddy. I'm sure it's confusing to a kid when daddy has been gone so long and you can't explain why they aren't at home. I had a little situation today with Jett. This morning in the nursery he bit three kids. During the sermon one of the workers came to get me and said..."Um, we are having some problems with Jett biting and he just made a kid bleed". OH MY WORD, I thought my face had turned 10 shades of red. He has never bit anyone, ever! I was so embarrassed. My kid is the bully in nursery! We have parenting class on Wednesday, pretty sure this topic is coming up:)

Oh my gosh...great pictures and post! Gracie and Jett are very close in age... and all of a sudden Gracie started hitting. We are working with her on it. But boy, it sure did come out of the blue. :) Great idea with the parenting class...I am sure that is very handy!
