Halloween and the Beginnings of November

Just a quick update:
October ended very nicely as Daniel's radio station had their shareathon and did very well. In fact, they are still getting some funding in since shareathon ended. He had fun eating lots of yummy shareathon food and getting goofy on the air with the other DJs. I put a couple of photos in the album for you to see Daniel's other identity.
Halloween was lots of fun with Pierce this year, since he is walking and talking. He went to the Fall Festival as a lion. He was a very good lion. At first, when we asked him, " What does a lion say?" and he replied, "Meow!" Later, he said,"roar," whenever we asked him what a lion says. He really enjoyed the games at the festival, but his favorite thing was the candy. He would be so distracted by the candy in his bag that he wouldn't play the games. I started putting it in a different bag so that he would be able to focus. Reality check, mom! He is too smart for the old "out of sight, out of mind" trick. He sat down in the middle of the room and stuck his hand in his candy bag, but there was no candy and the most upset look came across his face. Then he looked at me, and I knew that he knew...so, as consolation, he got one sucker and that ended the standoff.
Well, we have also jump-started our November with lots of fun already!
First, we got to go to Pierce's friend, Miles' birthday. He turned two at the beginning of the month, which is crazy because I feel like we were just visiting him and his mommy at the hospital when he was born. Pierce had a fun time being with all the other kids and playing with Miles' crayons that he got for his birthday and I enjoyed seeing all of our (grown up) friends. Plus, the cupcakes were really good!
Next, we went to Daniel's maternal grandfather's 80th birthday party in Warner Robins, Ga. We drove down the night before and spent the day with Daniel's mom, dad, and his two sisters. Pierce got to play with his Aunt Haley's new pig the next morning. Yes, you read that correctly. P-I-G. He was really cute and pink and Pierce was fairly mesmerized by him. I think Daniel really liked him too! That night, we all surprised Great Grandpa Green with a birthday party at their church. Daniel's dad and uncles grilled chicken and sausage and his mom and aunts brought lots of yummy side dishes. Pierce loved the food, especially the dressing. You have to know that anytime you get together with Daniel's family there is going to be lots of good food. Daniel played the piano and Pierce had to get in on that too. Then he got to go on a little walk with Great Grandpa at the end of the party, which was very sweet.
So, I guess that's a wrap! Thanksgiving is just around the corner too, so we definitely are hoping that all of you will have a wonderful time with family, friends, and food! We love you!
