The only two peices of candy Ladd got trick-or-treating.
My two little monkeys. Aren't they cute!
Where's monkey? (Gee I'm short)
The whole family.
This morning we headed out for some early trick-or-treating at Doug's school. The administration let all of us mom's parade our kids around the school while they handed out candy. Ladd was super tired, but he still made everyone smile. I took the monkey suit off a couple of times because the temperature was in the high 80's (that's not Halloween!). Biggest disappointment of the day - most of the people handing out candy noticed that Ladd was too young to eat candy and didn't offer it. Hello!! He still has two hungry parents. I can't wait until next year, Ladd will be old enough to eat candy, but young enough that he won't even notice when his parents swipe all the good stuff.
Tonight we went to the Trunk-or-Treat at our ward and stayed for about 30 minutes before Doug had to get back to class. Doug dropped us off at the apartment at 6 and that's when it happened.. my biggest nightmare came true..... I tripped up the stairs while carrying Ladd. Luckily my motherly instincts kicked in and the fall barely even phased Ladd. Regardless, I hurriedly brought Ladd in and took off all his clothes to inspect any damage and he had a little tiny red line on his back and a big smile. Relieved, I began looking over my battle wounds - one scrapped elbow, two scraped knees, and one seriously bruised shin. Biggest blessing of the day- Ladd's ridiculously plush costume cushioned the fall.
Happy Halloween Everyone!!
So cute I had to share.....

Ladd is such a cute little monkey! I love that costume with is big brown eyes, so cute! I have been lucky so far with not having stairs to go up and down with Kenslee until this house, but now she likes to do it on her own.
