Happy 3rd Birthday Chance!!

We had a busy day on Saturday Oct. 31! It all started before 8, when Chance woke up. It didn't take him long to discover his presents waiting for him in the living room. He received a new, bigger toy box from his great grandmas and some Spiderman wall decals and night light from Auntie Lynne and Uncle Drover. From Mommy and Daddy: a couple of dinosaur pictures for his new bedroom, a silver truck and a beta fish that has been named "Fin". From Gramma and Grampa: a play mat and 8 new small cars to drive around on the mat. From Grandma and Grandpa: a dinosaur story book as well as some Transformers toys & colouring books. From the baby: a Spiderman pillow case. From his birthday guests: too many Spiderman action figures and Transformers to count, 2 puzzles and a Diego doll. Thank you to all for your very nice gifts and thank you for being part of Chance's birthday!

After the birthday party, everyone had a nap. I woke up 1 1/2 hours later eye to eye with Chance, it was the first time he has ever gotten up quietly from his bed and come to our bedroom after he's done his nap. It was quite the shock to wake up with his face 2 inches from mine! I remember waking up my own mom like this. Usually I would get hauled into bed with her for a cuddle. Now I understand why!

We had a quick supper of birthday party leftovers (pizza, veggies, guacamole) and then went trick or treating with next door neighbours, he was out for more than 2 hours! I could only do the first 45 mins as my bladder was killing me. So switched with Cam and watched the Amityville Horror (original) while tending to trick or treats.

Cam and Chance got home around 8 PM and we quickly went through Chance's haul and got rid of any toddler unfriendly candies (hard small candies, gum, etc.) and let him choose 2 to eat before bed. He chose rockets and a lime flavoured Tootsie Roll. We were about to brush his teeth and read him a story when some more neighbours showed up with their twin boys and so we had a good visit with them instead, so Chance even got to stay up late on his birthday. The next day he was a bit tired around 6 PM but not too crabby.
