Hide and Seek and other kinds of trickery!!

Mason has taken to hiding things... mainly his shoes!! Although he does like to hide himself on occasion. A couple of weeks ago his shoes were lost, not just one pair all of them. We looked for days for them. I was doing laundry and remembered seeing a sock on the edge of under our bed. When I went to retrieve the sock there were all of Mason's shoes under our bed. He said "How did they get there?" Um you put them there!!! Monday morning we could not find his school shoes... so he had to wear a different pair that are usually for church... my kids tend to get dirty and destroy clothing and shoes so some clothes and shoes are church clothes and shoes so at least they look decent on Sundays!!! So he wore the church shoes. This morning we all searched for the bouncy ball shoes (that is what Mas calls them). We looked and looked but no shoes. Finally Mason and Drake were behind the couch and Mason said there were no shoes so I asked Drake to look too. And there they were the bouncy ball shoes!! Mason was staring right at them... he said I was just tricking you!! Ross did not think it was a funny trick!!

Mason and I have decided that we do not like the "new" moody Drake, we like the "old" nice Drake. Mason thinks the "new" Drake needs more spankings!! I think so too!! But I know we have to take the old Drake when we can get him and try to mold the new Drake in to a nice and respectful little boy! We are still working on that last part.

Halloween is coming up so Sunday afternoon I took the boys to look around at some costumes. Drake wants to be something really scary. He has in mind what that is but we could not find it at any of the stores we went to. He did like a werewolf costume but the mask had been ripped off so I am still looking for that one. We thought Mason was going to be Spiderman because he has that costume but he has changed his mind several times. Last week he wanted to be a Tootsie Roll. Then on Sunday when I asked him he said he wanted to be a "campfire" I did not know what he meant... then Drake said no he said VAMPIRE!!! It sounded just like "Campfire" So funny!! So I asked Mas if he wanted to get some sharp teeth (we were in the car so I was looking in the rear view mirror for his response) his raised up as far as he could in his seat and showed all his teeth and said he thought his teeth were sharp enough!!!

We are going to Sheridan this weekend and are going to go to the Pumpkin Patch with Melissa, Lane and my Mom. Last year we had a great time hopefully the same this year. Maybe Uncle Jared and Daddy will come too. Drake hopes so because my rule is they can only get a pumpkin they can carry... last year they got Uncle J to help them so they could get giant pumpkins!!

Last week I went to Florida with in-laws and girlfriends, Valorie and Tiana, Rowan, Taylor, Ashely, DeLana, Lisa, Heather, Cash, Melissa, and Lane. We all had a great time at the beach in Destin. All the little boys were great, it was a prefect age to take them on the girls vacation they were so cute. I can't wait until next year!!

Today is our first Parent-Teacher Conference wish us luck!! And Friday is our first field trip we are going to the Pumpkin Patch in Pea Ridge.
