....go to sleep ♪
So yesterday Grey did not take a nap until 4 pm and then decided he didn't want to go to bed last night because he took such a late nap. He was like a madman running around the house playing. Finally at 9:45 we threw him in bed with us because we were tired and we thought he would calm down. Nope - we were wrong! He was jumping all over the bed, messing with Spencer (who loves his sleep and does NOT want to be disturbed when he is in bed), and talking/singing for like another 30 minutes.
Although we were ready for him to just lay down and relax, he was pretty sweet. At one point he sat between me and Dan and rubbed both our backs at the same time and played with our hair. I think he was imitating what his teachers do to get the other kids at school to take naps. How can you get upset when he does stuff like this?! :)
Needless to say after 10:30 he finally laid down and fell asleep.

Happy Halloween/Birthday
Happy Halloween and Happy Birthday Dan! We got to celebrate Halloween in Dallas this year with a few friends/family. We started off with dinner and cake to celebrate Dan and Marcus's birthdays and then headed off to trick-or-treat around our house.
Grey was a puppy (he still says puppy 500 times a day) and he actually let us put on his costume this year, but then wanted it off!! After it was off, there was no putting it back on either so he ended up just wearing a skeleton t-shirt with black sweat pants. He still looked cute :) Luckily I took a few pictures of him with the costume on before he made us take it off.
Grey loved the candy! He broke into our stash before any kids came to the door and had about 3 blow pops and two M&M packets. His hands were sticky, the floors were sticky and he had chocolate all over his face! It was evident he loved the candy, which is why he did not want to eat his dinner. Can we say cavities?!?
He wasn't into going up to the doors to get the candy, though. I think he liked looking at all the decorations from a distance instead of up close and being towered by the big blow-up decorations. They scared him a little. It probably didn't help that two doors down from us our neighbor basically had a haunted house in his front yard. They go all out every year and this year they had a cemetery theme and bought a hearse, had moving mannequins dressed up as murdered people, coffins, smoke blowing everywhere, etc. It was amazing and pretty scary!
Overall I think Grey enjoyed handing out the candy to other kids and yelling "Halloween" to everyone the most. It was so cute to hear him say it because he really emphasized the "ween" part :)
