10,000 pictures
At a birthday party yesterday, my camera “rolled over” back to 1… I have taken over 10,000 pictures with this handy-dandy thing. As Coach Gray asked, “How many of them are of K?” Um, probably about 9000!!!

Halloween Bliss
Since this is K’s only second time waltzing into the holiday season,
the only one that really “stuck” from last year was…yeah, you called
it—Halloween. Let’s face it, Thanksgiving isn’t REALLY a holiday for
kids under the 10 year old mark (getting days off of school really only
matter for the tweens and up, right?!) And ChritmaHannuKwanzaaKet
(Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or Timket) can be a bit overwhelming to a
kid who just learned English!
I admit, Fall is my FAVORITE season (not the we get real seasons in Cali). I love the colors of fall, I look good in fall colors and I love how Disneyland decorates for Halloweentime! K loves it too!!! Pumpkins are recognizable. Last year, I kinda shoved the holidays down his throat and I wanted him to experience EVERYTHING he could—meaning that I think we went to like 7 pumpkin patches last year and went trick-or-treating like 4 separate times at various locations. Hey, he was a cute Buzz Lightyear and I wanted to get my money’s worth for that darn costume!!!
Well, as we walk into this Halloween season, it’s ALL he can talk about. As you have seen, he will be a dinosaur, and not just any dinosaur—but the Buddy from Dinosaur Train who just so happens to be, according to K, the biggest dinosaur in the Cretaceous. He is in LOVE with Pumpkins of any kind, but doesn’t quite know what a Jack-O-Lantern is. He has been to (this year) 4 pumpkin patches and can’t get enough of them, but can’t be bothered with trick-or-treating!
You gotta love a kid who enjoys the simple things—a good costume, pumpkin patches where the pumpkins remain intact, and growling like a dinosaur! Forget the candy or the anticipation of knowing that once this Halloween gig is over, it’s on to ChritmaHannuKwanzaaKet! It’s allllllllllll about Halloween with my kid!!!
