Declan had a play date with Macy and Laney and 8 other girls! We went to Flamingo Nursery to paint a pot and plant a flower. Boy did the artist come out in Declan! While waiting for the paint to dry we took a walk to the waterfall and ginormous chair, had smoothies and lunch and played in the plant nursery. Once the pot was dry we planted our flowers, Declan chose the marigold flower and we brought it home for daddy! Declan has been watering his plant everyday (hopefully not over watering)!
Not Declan! He has been enjoying doing these puzzles. I'm going to buy a few more soon. The second video is my favorite puzzle because the pieces are all the same size and he has to match the colors of the vehicles.
This was Declan's first year to experience Trick or Treating, he had the time of his life! He wasn't in bed until 9:30. The festivities started at 6:30. We brought out our patio chairs to the front yard and greeted and treated many dressed up kids and parents from the neighborhood. Declan enjoyed all the costumes and isn't faced by the scary ones yet! He was happy just handing out candy. Then it was his turn, we went to several houses, many with great decorations, on our block. He went right up to the doors and gladly held out his pumpkin for treats! When we got back to our house, the neighbors were finished with their trick or treating too. We live right next door to a 3 & 4 year old boys who Declan hadn't played with yet. The boys ran around after one another for an hour laughing and having the best time, they probably would have played another hour had it not been so late. Declan had the best time I have ever seen him have. It was sooo much fun to watch.
Happy Halloween!

This year Declan is future baby golf pro. It's tough to get him to wear the hat and carry the clubs but you still get the idea. We met Coleman and Ethan at the pumpkin patch, they had fun messing around with pumpkins and playing in the hay.
Uh-Oh, the wind blew the scarecrow over

Heeeey!

A couple of weeks ago, Declan started watching Sesame Street. The first day he was hooked on Elmo (Crazy!). I'm not sure if it's Elmo's voice, his red fur or that his name is fun to say that gets kids hooked, but the following morning Declan woke up saying "Elmo, Elmo!"
Sesame Street Live was playing at Parker Playhouse, right down the street, so we got tickets this past weekend. Declan had a blast, it was so much fun watching him take it all in. The first half of the show he sat on Daddy's lap stoned-faced, like he wasn't sure what to make of it, I think because the characters are so big in person- I think he was taken back. But during intermission he got up and was dancing around and that was it! He didn't sit for the rest of the show he was totally into it, pointing, saying, "Elmo, Big Bird," he was all smiles.
I'm going to see ELMO!
Is it time to go yet?

On Saturday, Declan and his friend Ethan went to the Halloween Horse Show at the Pompano Beach Sand and Spurs Equestrian Park. The had pony rides, fair games, a horse show, face painting and bbq. The boys enjoyed romping around the park. Declan of course saw a tractor and had to get on. He threw a fit when I took him off, but we weren't suppose to be on it (and they came over and kicked us off-oops)!
