Halloween part 1

Alex had quite the Halloween this year. On Friday I took him to Adam's work and we trick or treated from cubicle to cubicle. I took Alex down to the buildings spook alley. There was a cage with bones in it that were glowing and shaking. Alex walked up to it and started rattling the cage bars. He was not impressed.

This afternoon I took Alex to Paul's (Whitney's husband) office building and let Alex trick or treat. They also had a haunted room. When we went in, there was a witch in the corner sitting in a rocking chair. It wasn't moving at all and I had just convinced myself that it was fake when all of a sudden it popped up out of the chair and made a "boo" sound. I think Alex jumped and shook 3 times. His first reaction seemed to be "you scared me" the next was "ahhh you are alive" and the next shake was "what the heck are you?" I didn't want Alex to go away mad or scared so I picked him up took him over to the witch and told him to get the witches nose (which was fake and huge). Alex reached down and gave that witch a very big poke with his pointer finger and started ranting about something that could have been interpreted as "Don't you even think about doing that to me again!"

Acky

Adam started his new job with Deloitte and Touche in Boise a couple weeks ago. I stayed with Alex in Inkom for a little bit. Now we are all moved up to Boise. We are living with Adam's aunt Whitney and her family while we are in this transition phase. On the drive from Inkom to Boise we kept talking about Whitney and the family's dog named Jax to get Alex jazzed about meeting everyone. When we arrived at their house we introduced Alex to Whitney and said to him, "Can you say Whitney?" and Alex replied, "Acky". So Whitney is Acky now.

Winter

This is what we woke up to this morning. I am not ready for snow yet!
