Halloween fun!

Happy Halloween! 

My train conductor had a blast trick-or-treating.  As soon as we would say, "Do you want to go to this house?" he would say, "Yes, trick-or-treat, trick-or-treat, trick-or-treat . . . " he would repeat that phrase all the way up to the door. It was so cute.

Fun at Nana's House

We got to spend a day at Nana's house this weekend.  Elisha got to spend time with his Nana, Great Grandpa, Great Grandma, Uncle Kyle and Uncle Ryan.  The highlights of the day included a Mickey Mouse tool kit, riding the tractor, and working on cars.  

Great Grandma and Great Grandpa had not seen Elisha since early in the summer and they they truly enjoyed their time on Sunday.  Great Grandpa bought Elisha a Mickey Mouse tool kit which Elisha quickly figured out and there was a lot of banging with the hammer.  

Later in the afternoon Elisha convinced Nana that tractor rides were needed so he rode around with both Nana and Great Grandpa.  It was quite the adventure, the tractor is very sensitive and Great Grandpa had never driven it before so he and Elisha had a very jerky first ride.  

To round out the evening, Elisha decided he needed to help Uncle Kyle work on Uncle Ryan's car.  First, they changed the oil in Uncle Ryan's car.  This was happening without my knowledge and when Nana went outside to see what trouble the boys were into she found Elisha covered in grease because he had helped Uncle Kyle and poured the oil into the car.  She brought him inside and we scrubbed his hands, after getting cleaned up he said, "I got outside with Uncle Kyle and Uncle Ryan?" Nana told him, "no, you are all clean now we don't want you to be a grease monkey." Elisha replys with "I not a GEESE monkey!"  It was so funny.  Finally, after much begging I caved and let him go outside but this time I went to supervise.  Uncle Kyle was working on fishing the window out of the car door because the motor had died.  As soon as Elisha saw Uncle Kyle working he said, "I help!" I told him, "no, let Uncle Kyle do it." Elisha reply's, "No, I help, I got get my screwdriver!" and he runs back through the garage to the house door so he can get his tools to help.  Needless to say the Mickey mouse screwdriver was then used to help Uncle Kyle dismantle this door.  It was so cute to see Elisha so intrigued by a project and to see him want to help his Uncles.  He absolutely LOVES them!!
