Dr. Q.T. Patootie

I figured that Hayden had been to a ton of doctors this year and that it would only be appropriate if he was a doctor for Halloween! His little lab coat said Dr. Q.T. Patootie! We had a fun Halloween weekend full of activities!

On Friday, we went to Gym Inc. and met up with Tripp, aka the little lion, and the kids had a blast running around and playing on all of the equipment and toys.

On Saturday we went to the carnival at the elementary school down the road from us. Hayden had a lot of fun playing the bean bag toss game as well as the fishing for duckies game. He had a little doctor bag and took it around to the trick or treating room; the people dressed up in costumes didn't even phase him, he was more interested in what they were giving him!

Speaking of doctors, on our last trip to Anchorage we discovered that Hayden was allergic to milk and soy (I will elaborate later, we have another trip planned at the end of this week to get some more tests done). Anyways, I figured that he probably couldn't have a majority of the candy that people were handing out, that and it was 5 degrees outside, so we decided to stay at home and hand out candy instead.

We did our annual pumpkin carving with my parents, and had a blast watching Hayden mimic us. He had to do everything that we were doing and "help" us out!

I tried to get him to gut a pumpkin with me, but he was more interested in playing with the scoop.

He got really serious when it was time for carving the pumpkins and helped each one of us out and gave it his own little touch!

Chris's job in Ft. Greely is winding down, so we were able to spend the whole weekend with him. We really enjoyed his company and I was able to get caught up on a little housework while the two of them played! Chris taught Hayden how to listen to people's heartbeats with his pretend stethoscope! Add to all of our festivities a few Nanook hockey games and a birthday party for his aunt Brittany, and it was an action packed weekend!
