Cody's Shenanigans

last week on monday night, cody and carson were running along the couch trying to jump from the couch to the coffee table. it's quite a jump so, earlier in the day i moved the coffee table a little closer to the couch but not touching the couch. so, cody was running along and his leg went between the couch and coffee table and SMACK!!! he split his juicy little cheek on the side of the coffee table. last time something like this happened to carson, i did not take him to get stitches (jonathan wasn't home.) he needed them. probably six or so, but i did not take him. anyway, we decided to take cody to get stitches(it was a super quick decision.) there is a phoenix children's urgent care right by our house, and he got 4 stitches. it was sad watching jonathan holding him down and co crying, but i'm glad we did. he got them out on friday and i made jonathan take him to get them out. he had a black eye too for about 5 days. it was really sad. it didn't really bother him though. no excess of crying or trying to take the band aid off his face or anything. now there is just a line on his face that looks like a paper cut.

holy cow!! halloween fun!!

wow. this is a lot of pictures!! i would have had more, but of course my camera ran out of batteries at the beginning of halloween night!! stuff like that always happens! anyway, this is halloween night in queen creek with my sisters families, and no the cute little bumble bee did not pee her pants!! hehe. carson was a skeleton and cody was a sailor, but he wouldn't wear his hat!! it totally made the costume!! from left to right: malloy as the big bad wolf. mckay as a teenage mutant ninja turtle. jaden as the cutest lady bug i've ever seen. roxcy as the cutest bumble bee i've ever seen. nixie as the cutest little red riding hood i've ever seen. the other pictures are of us at mother natures farm earlier halloween morning with juliette and adam + kids and also our friend amber and her two cute kids. it was so fun (except the part where we lost nixie.) and finally the smore pictures!! oh yeah and carson and i at preschool. i was a clown. it was great!! we also went to a halloween party at loretta's house. we were a family of pirates. it was fun. loretta was a troll!! carson finally acts like he likes loretta and kind of agreed to take a picture with her. the boys fell asleep on the way home and they looked so cute dressed in pirate costumes (equipped with mustaches and mr potatohead swords) sleeping i just had to take a picture! we carved a pumpkin of carson's design and the boys had a wonderful time. the picture of all the candy wrappers is this: my parents were out of town. i was supposed to come to their house to water the plants, get the mail, etc. i went on the internet one day and i turned cartoons on for carson. in the meantime he had made a big fort out of pillows and blankets and stuff. when it was time to leave, i went to clean it up. i moved a big pillow away from the ottoman and what do i find?! a HUGE pile of candy wrappers!! he, very sneakily, was getting candy and eating it in secret!! i didn't even hear him!! i laughed so hard! he wasn't even sick!! (i wish he would get sick so he'd lay off the secret stash of candy!!) he has secret stashes of candy in his room somewhere too. i find candy wrappers all the time and ask him where they came from. he always just blames cody. anyway, that was our super fun halloween time and we can't wait for the next big adventure!!
