Hiding in Plain Sight

On Friday night, Halloween, we decided to travel to a church that we have attended a few times called Court Street Christian Church. They were having a carnival and it seemed a way to keep up with what we were used to and the boys were very excited. So, we were gathering our things and getting ready for some fun and then Connor realized that he couldn't find his Spiderman mask. He really has no idea about Spiderman, never seeing him in a movie or cartoon, but he caught on that he needed the mask to truly pull this costume off. I kid you not, 3 adults (my mom was in town) and both kids searched the house frantically looking in places knowing that there is no chance at all for it to be there. As the minutes ticked off the clock, the tears started to fall at the thought of going with out it. We were all completely astounded how something you just had 3 minutes earlier could vanish. Connor said he didn't leave the living room and yet we looked all over the house even upstairs. The room we didn't look was the room I was actually sitting in when he asked me to help him find it. As we were walking out the door, there it was, literally out in the open on a rug hiding in plain sight. I did not think that phrase possible until now. The last time we lost something (Brody's must beloved Sheepie) daddy found him tucked away in a clothes drawer!

So, we wiped off the tears, threw on the mask and loaded up. It turned out to be a pretty fun night and my little Blue Spiderman and Monkey had a great time!

Daddy also pulled off some pretty amazing pumpkins!!

More Good Gifts! Way to go Daddy!

He managed to put into a pumpkin their two favorite things...

a lamb for Brody and a football for Connor!

Now, if I could just stay out of the candy!
