Finally Halloween....

Day 1 - Community Party.

 

Ran around the jumper for the first 30 minutes.  At first he was checking it out, then I think he was honing his ninja monkey skills weaving in between the tie downs, back flips, belly rolls, wall walks - it was special.

 

Hayride - it was cold, I am glad the driver needed a spotter (company)

- had to take my jacket off, just saying.

Day 2 Halloween Night.

The candy grab, and more.  It took him a while to get going.  Mom had to show him the ropes with the carting around of the giant pumpkin face bucket and knocking on the doors.  trick or treat - wasn't necessary, as the home owners were all mesmerized and focused on something else. B had this tendency to just walk into peoples houses. If they opened the door to give him candy, then they opened the door to their worlds....almost like the cops - if you open the door then they are coming in (that advice was free all you college kids)....anyway our neighbor deter had been spying this action, unwilling to let the likes of a monkey in his house he was prepared.  A little back story on this is helpful, you see there is a nurse in the house and we all know that nurses realize the dangers and potential harm and disease that come with monkeys - thus no monkeys or small swinging primates allowed. So If you notice the action done by Deter, a seasoned vet at keeping out monkeys and the like ....step 1 door open but only to the point necessary for your body to squeeze through no more, step 2 slowly push through maintaining the door crack hindering the more agile and smaller sneaks access, step 3 closing the door behind you while using the body as a shield.....well played....Deter was wise enough to bring his re-enforcements to the door as B began his knock and duck in the house routine, garnering the likes of a ferocious guard dog named bailey access was denied, but and this is a big but B scored with the favorite Candy of the Night - M&Ms - the original - good times, first walking trick or treat. enjoy.

hey girl...

Hope you enjoy Halloween on Christmas - we have been having technical difficulties of late.

Galloping in the....

RAIN....

So it went down like this. Imagine a puddle to the depth of a nice baby bath, coming up to the mid-headish region, now imagine that water on the asphalt, and mix in some muddy water, and asphalt pebbles, and a friend and you have the perfect puddle for a jumpin - and probably drain about half of that water out now that your imagination is good and warmed up because that would be playing in a flash flood and SCDSS would get called on us.

Galloping in the rain. In the video below you will catch a glimpse of the 'gallop' - the gallop is one of B's patented moves. When he gets excited he pulls out the gallop which is a half skip, jump, dance move. And since he is a 19month old he gets excited alot about a plethora of things to which the gallop is unleashed on the world. Now as cute and playful as the gallop may seem by definition and description, its a dangerous move that shouldn't be tried by all - for example people with bad hips and/or extremities - you might want to sit this move out....consider this the don't get on this roller coaster if you are pregnant or shorter than 4'8'' warning. Benjamins Gallop, though often used, has yet to be fully mastered, the technical moves and excitement have yet to come into full choreographic rhythm and what you sometimes get is the occasional trip, or the occasional trip half roll which leaves your shirts looking like this when tried in puddles......

  Enjoy the Gallop in the October Puddles.... 

Fall Rockin...
