Happy Daylight Savings!

Apparently, Riley is not into this whole "extra" hour of sleeping idea so the Cook family is up watching Elmo on the tube and playing with his new train set...I snuck away to post some Halloween Pics! Riley is definitely "my" kid as he asks to go to bed (nappy) at night and gets up early raring to go. Halloween was great- he LOVED wearing his costume and loved trick or treating around the neighborhood. We only had to deal with one creepy old lady who hailed us down from the end of the street to stop at her house for trick or treating, kept asking us to stop over soon to hang out and asked if Riley was girl...I swear I was waiting her turn swirl around, turn into a witch, and ask Riley if he wanted a bite of delicious shiny, red apple. The best part about Halloween was that we were able to get his "pumpkin" pail away and he has completely forgot about the candy that was in it- which is weird b/c this kid remembers EVERYTHING. Unfortunately, that means Jim and I have been scarfing down sweet, delicious, mini candy bars! If I was poetic kind a gal, I would write an "Ode to Reese's". Anyway, we're off to breakfast soon so here's some pics of Halloween at The Little Gym and Halloween Night!

Riley is in "3 eyed blue monster" suit...he thought he was cookie monster, so we just went with it.

This is his "wigging out" face ala' The Iron Giant

Some action shots from The Little Gym


Yo Gabba Pumpkins...and a "pirate" as Riley calls all skulls pirates! I spent a good half hour, sitting on the floor with my legs going numb cutting out the Brobee and then Riley takes one minute to look at the finished product and rips the face completely off. So, it was "Dr. Toothpick" to the rescue.


Trick or Treating


Is this a proper dinner? Nope, but it IS on Halloween...He kept making me want to gag b/c he would take bites of turkey and/or broccoli and cheese rice with a lollipop chaser.
