Last night I awoke and heard one child awake and crying for a parent. A bit confused and tired, I just walked toward the door to appease the cries, but forgot to open the door. As I hit head first and made a loud thud, the other child awoke up screaming " what was that, I'm scared".
We went to Jonah's birthday party at pump it up. Both kids and adults loved the giant slides. Maya was a bit timid at first, yet warmed up and loved the obstacle course. Ashton wanted to do everything himself, including the giant slide. Was brave at the top but a bit overwhelmed as he plunged down solo. You liked to hit the ball and bat. During the chocolate cake, we removed his shirt so he was a naked boy with chocolate frosting all over his naked chest.
We came home and rushed through some pumpkin carving. Had the crazy idea we would morph into professional pumpkin carvers in a few minutes...way over our heads. Ashton's contribution was to pee all over the pumpkin as he wandered around bottomless.
Off to the McCoy's Halloween party. Maya dressed as Rapunzel, Ash was a tiger. They set up a spooky haunted trail including blood, severed limbs, chainsaw noises and talking heads. Maya just cruised through adn shrugged her shoulders. Ashton fell into the bobbing for apple pail, and Maya was very excited to be a part of the Halloween costume parade.
Our final trip of the day was to watch Jonah open presents. Maya was the little narrator, while Ashton fell in love with all of Jonah's glowing swords.
