Halloween 2009

I better add a Halloween photo from this year too. Aiden was a knight. He changed his mind several times a day leading up to Halloween as to what he wanted to be. Asher was a dragon. They had a great time going trick or treating with their cousins, Reagan, Peyton and Lincoln and friends, Granger and Denton. Followed up by a night at Grandma and Grandpa Stensrud (tradition) after trick or treating.

Deep Thought by a three year old

I guess it seems I am using this blog to archive the cute stories of the kids. Seems like a great place for it. So today we were outside on the swing set taking advantage of this beautiful fall weather we will not have for long. I was pushing Aiden 'high' in the swing. He wants to go higher and higher. Preferrably the ultimate, Under Dog! I think he was swinging for an hour! Need to teach him to pump his legs! Well, I have tried, but not happening yet. So he was staring into the clouds as I pushed him higher and higher. When he asks, 'Mom, where is God?'. So I answer, 'He is in Heaven.' I was quickly corrected. No Mom he lives in my heart!!! : ) Yes, true he lives in your heart. So I tell him he is special and God lives in his heart and chose him and loves him....and he is smiling ear to ear to hear this. Then he goes on to say, 'when I go to heaven I am going to tell God that Denton (his older and wiser buddy) was swinging and said, Aiden your a sissy and then he said geronimo and jumped off the swing. Well, maybe I won't tell him he called me a sissy Mom.' : )
