Halloween 'Round 2'

We had a wonderful weekend. The weather was great and we caught up on seeing a few of our favorite friends.
Saturday started with a morning breakfast at IHop! Yummy. Since my son doesn't sleep in at all, we were up and in IHop parking lot around 7:30. Talk about beating the crowd! That's a way to put a positive spin on getting up early.

After breakfast, we headed back to Wylie to get ready for our next adventure...a drive out to Point, Texas. Yipee!!! We took a road trip to see some of our favorite friends, Megan, Jeff, and Hayden Smith! We love and miss them so much.
Barrett and Hayden are already good buddies. Barrett let Hayden wear his camo hat and Hayden let Barrett play with all of his toys (including his nightlight in his room).

Saturday night we joined our friends at the Hazelwoods for some Halloween festivities. Being a bad mom, I totally forgot Barrett's costume at the house...but never fear...Caiden had his costume from last year to loan Barrett. We snuggled up in our monkey suit and hit the road with all our friends for some trick or treating.

Barrett eventually figured out the routine of getting out of the wagon, walking up to the door, trying to say trick or treat, and saying thank you. Overall, he did very well. I laughed however when I cleaned out the pumpkin because not only did it have a lot of candy, but it had a lot of ROCKS in it too. Matt said that every trip up the sidewalk, he was searching for a rock to pick up as well! Too funny.

Sunday...we were on the road again. I was beginning to feel like I was living inside Willie Nelson's song, "On the Road Again".
We headed off to Graham to visit Barrett's KK, great-Meme and Grandad. We watched the Dallas football game, played outside, and ate some good home cooked food!


We did hit the jackpot. KK told us about an awesome sell at this place called, BEALLS. You could buy any item in the store and get a second item similar to it for ONE dollar! YeeHaw!!! I stocked up on shoes for Barrett and for Matt's work! That's the best sale I've come across in a while!
