Trimming the tree

I have been painting like crazy, trying to get it done before we put up the tree.  Yesterday, I made Owen a deal.  If he let me finish the kitchen, we would put up the tree.  During nap, Brig and I put up  the tree and fluffed the branches.  To say he was excited to see the tree is an understatement. 

At first, he wanted to hang all the ornaments in one place.  We convinced him otherwise, and he actually let us spread them out a little more.

Thanksgiving Feast

Owen's class had their Thanksgiving Feast on Monday.  He was really excited and talked about it for days.  Since then, he asks us several times a day when we are going to Grandmama's house for the other Thanksgiving Feast.  This morning on my way out of the house we told him it was tomorrow!  Funny thing is he really isn't interested in the "feast" part, just the party aspect.

Stuff Owen says

Tonight Owen was coloring at the table and said, "Daddy, I can't get it".  I said, "Get what?"  He said, "this", showing me a marker in his hand.  The top was still on and he said, "I tried using my muscles, but it's not working.  Can you use your muscles to open it?"

Halloween 2010

Ever since we saw Pete's Dragon in the Disney Electrical Parade, Owen has wanted to be one for Halloween.  Here he is "blowing smoke" at us...

 I thought a dragon wouldn't fit on the slide...he proved me wrong.

With his buddies Robin Hood and Anakin Skywalker...

He liked trick-or-treating for about 15 minutes.  He really liked seeing the other kids dressed up and giving away candy at Grandmama's house.

The loot...
