As soon as I dropped my mom off at the airport BJ's parents flew in. They rented a car and so I got home about 30 min. before they did (just enough time to change the bedding--not enough time to clean the bathroom). So I sent them outside to play with the kids while I tidied up a bit because it was a gorgeous day. We all played outside for several hours and the kids couldn't get enough attention from Grandpa Howard and Grandma Carol. We all love when they come to visit!
Grandma Carol taught Brinly to do the wedding march after she gave her a big bouquet of "fall" flowers from the backyard. It was really cute.

I guessed that he must have known that this was a "BJ". BJ and his dad are like carbon copies in my mind. They both have very similar personalities. Carol lost one of her costume jewelry earrings in the backyard and Howard spent a good 30 min. on his hands and knees looking for it (something BJ would totally have done). I have always loved watching BJ's parents because you can be around them for just a few minutes and can tell how much they love each other. They're wonderful. Anyway, Jace and Grandpa were attached at the hip the entire time they were here. Every time we got into the car Jace would cry huge elephant tears because Grandpa was in the other car. He wanted Grandpa to hold him constantly. It was really sweet to watch and I'm sure it made Howard feel good too. Howard hoisted Jace up and down for 1/2 hour so he could make baskets. I'm only good for about 2 times and then I'm done---what a great Grandpa!!!
Grandpa and Grandma got to be there for the school Halloween parade and party. Cardon spent endless hours making a car for his costume. He did a great job and he was really proud of it.
Time to carve up the pumpkins. Each of us had our own pumpkin to carve. We had spooky Halloween music playing in the background and then we ate pumpkin sugar cookies for our treat. It was such a fun night!
Happy Halloween!!!!!
