My little guy is already 2!!

Happy Birthday to Charlie!!!


I know I'm late with this update but I had to make a special post for Charlie! Yup, he turned the big 2 and boy was it a big weekend!!!

Let's see first there was Friday the 29th which was his actual birthday day. They were having a Halloween party at work so we got Charlie all dressed up as Robin (as in Batman and Robin) and we went and had a great time at the office! Seeing all the costumes and having all kinds of candy and treats. And Charlie enjoyed cruising around the office to see all the decorations and getting all kinds of attention.

Then we came home and had ice cream and cake and had a great time playing with all of his new toys! Our favorite being the awesome new art easel complete with chalk board! Awesome!!!

Charlie also loves his big truck tent that he got from Grammie and Grampie. He loves to climb in and then wave at us from the window. So cute!!!

So then on Saturday the 30th we headed to the San Francisco Zoo for their Halloween Party or "Boo at the Zoo" as they called it.

At first Charlie was more interested in the puddles left from the rain but after he got himself thoroughly soaked he was ready to check out the festivities! They had crafts, and candy, and special animal exhibits (I never knew an alligator could feel so soft!) and Charlie loved hanging out with Spencer (my friend Kim's son) and Charlie even learned how to tell knock knock jokes! He gets a kick out of them! And we never knew until Charlie busted up laughing while Bill and Spencer were telling some classic Knock Knocks :)

Charlie did so well that we ended up staying a lot longer then we thought we would and Charlie got to skip his nap (lucky boy!)

So then on Sunday it was Halloween!! We started the day off with some pumpkin painting and carving and last minute decorations.

Then we got Charlie in his costume and couldn't wait to take him out for his first time Trick or Treating!! So finally the sun went down and we headed out! Charlie had no idea what was going on at first, he was just excited to be heading outside so late in the day!!

We went to the first house and Charlie was all nervous. But with a little help from Daddy he saw how awesome Trick or Treating really is! He was so excited about the candy that after he would get some candy he'd want to stop and eat it :)

We went all over the neighborhood and when it started to get too chilly we headed on home to greet our own trick or treaters and it was SO much fun! Spooking the trick or treaters and seeing all of the fun costumes was great! It was a little slow at first but as the night went on (and once the Giants game was over) it started to pick up and we all had a great time!


So then by Monday we were all super tired from such a fun weekend :) Happy Birthday to my little guy!!! I can't believe it's been 2 years already!!!

A little side note on the news for Chloe....there's no news yet it's just me waiting and being uncomfortable and ready for her to come already!!

Until next time!
