Nick Funnies

Nick keeps us laughing all the time. He's into telling stories and says "ummm" a lot. Last week I asked him "What's your name?", he replied "Nicholas." I asked "How old are you, Nicholas?" and he replied "49". Then he cracked up because he was just teasing me. He also says he has a "cute little butt" and reminds us of that every time we change his diaper. Then he says "mommy has a little butt and Damma (Grandma) has a little butt". And then he goes on to say, "daddy has a big butt". Where he came up with this, we have no idea!

Nick had his first haircut by a stylist, instead of Mike, on Friday at Supercuts. He did really well. The lady that cut his hair was really good with him and got it done really fast. It turned out cute!

Nicholas had my mom in tears today she was laughing so hard. He is obsessed with a tiny mole on her neck. He gives the mole loves and says "Nick loves mole". This morning at breakfast, Mike showed Nick a picture of Nick and Grandma at the zoo. Mike asked "who's in this picture" and Nick said "Damma". Mike asked "who else is in this picture?" and Nick replied, "Damma's mole."

Right now he's back into being interested in the alphabet, but is interested in spelling. We'll see where this leads! Anyway, here are a few cute videos I had to share. The first one is Nick talking about the pumpkins from our Halloween party. He talks non-stop all day long which is really fun. I love having conversations with him and listening to him tell me stories about his day.



Nick loves to watch Igudesman and Joo on youtube. They are musician/comedians. One performance of theirs is titled "Riverdancing violinist" and here's a video of Mike and Nick riverdancing.

Spook-takular

This year was so much fun with Nick. He LOVED trick-or-treating. He wanted to stay at the last house we went to and just chat. He was telling the homeowners all about chocolate. We had a big party at our house, my headcount was 42 people. Wow. That's all I can say - wow. We had so much fun. The kids were all great, they just ran around having a fun time. We had a couple games and activities for them until it got dark enough to trick-or-treat. It was really wonderful. And the weather here was so nice! It was great for trick-or-treating. Not like doing it in the snow in Klamath! Aaah - memories!

Nick trying on Grandpas wig. Is this what a girl would look like if we had one? Kinda cute, kinda creepy..... Spooky food! Our neighbor, Ron, did both of these fantastic treats! I was so impressed I had to post a picture! The pumpkin aftermath. The Pinata. Now best known as the "Pinata incident" - you don't want to know. Just trust me - never get a pinata. The older kids played "wrap the mummy". Gary and Jacob were the lucky Mummies. Nicks friend Axel and his mommy, Anna. He had a cow costume and his mom was the Cowgirl. They were super cute! What a wonderful crowd! The kids (I think there were 16 kids total) decorating pumpkins. This was a total hit! Will definitely remember that activity to use again in the future! Very well dressed Halloween guests, Wiatt, Melanie and Jacob. The Mummy and Little Miss Muffet.


On Friday we went downtown Corvallis trick-or-treating. It was so much fun! And it was so nice outside! The perfect day. All the pumpkins the kids decorated the night before (they were supposed to take them home, but things were a little chaotic!). So now they look cute on our front door step and they make me smile! The day after Halloween. The hats are still fun!
