The Dogs are Trying to Kill Me

For actual Trick or Treat we headed over to Kim and John's house. Kim and I handed out candy while John and my John took EZ around trick or treating. We should have sent Netta with them as well because the whole time we were sitting outside handing out candy she was running all over the place and trying to sneak into open garages. The girl has no fear, which is quite the opposite of EZ. At the trunk or treat he wouldn't say trick or treat to anyone and I was afraid that Saturday wouldn't be much better. Luckily, he warmed up after a few houses and actually lasted quite a bit longer than I had expected. Here is a pic of the boys headed out.

Back in the house however, Netta showed just how brave she really is and EZ showed off just what a chicken he is. Kim and John have 4 dogs and whenever we go over there Netta squeals and chases after the dogs while EZ runs away as fast as he can. Here we have a pic of Netta being tackled by one of the dogs and loving every minute of it.

EZ however, was in rare form and when the dogs first came near him he started yelling "The dogs are trying to kill me!" Oh man I could not stop laughing. As time went on his cries were downgraded to "The dogs are trying to scare me" but nothing he said could make us forget his earlier statement. Despite the dogs trying to kill him we had a great night and no one was injured.

Trunk or Treat Surprise

Our Halloween festivities kicked off this year with a Trunk or Treat at church. Netta was baby Jaguar and EZ was Diego. Getting the Diego costume together ended up being a lot more work than I had expected. By some miracle I found him a safari vest at the thrift store on Monday and I was able to put together a pretty sweet rescue pack myself using some of those long neglected middle school home ec skills. Here is Netta doing her baby jaguar impression.

Finally the surprise of the night was John and my costumes. He went as a baker and if you ignore my lack of artistic talent you can see that I have a bun in the oven.

So yes I do actually have a bun in the oven! I am 12 weeks along with number 3 and due May 14th. That will make 3 May babies. Hey August is our anniversary month.
