Candor goes to Townes

On Thursday Candor's school had a family Thanksgiving feast.  Todd and I went and it was so much fun. Here are the things we learned about Candor from Ms. Maggie and Ms. Lauris. Candor has two nicknames.  The first one is 'Wild Man'.  The second one is 'Zombie Dentist'.    Zombie comes from his Halloween costume and for the fact that he walks around going "ahhhhhhhh" (say that out loud in your best zombie voice - that is what he sounds like).  They added Dentist to the end of Zombie because they said he looks like a much cuter version of Hermey the Dentist from Rudolph the Red nose reindeer.  They said his cherub cheeks,  pretty eyes, and hair reminded him of Hermey.  I had to google Hermey as I had no idea who he was.  I suppose these nicknames are better than rock eater and spider monkey which were two of his friends nicknames.           Hermey the Dentist: Candor has really bon...

It is not really Halloween if you don't have a family of zombies walking around. The Thursday before Halloween Candor got to wear his Halloween Costume to school for their Fall Parade.  Todd and I got to stay and watch.  It was so much fun watching him interact with all his friends.

Drinking his milk before school: Todd dropping the zombie off at school: Here comes the parade!: Class photo: On Halloween Todd and Candor got up early and watched Liverpool play soccer.  Candor could not stay awake for the whole game. After his nap we started getting ready for the night.  Halloween is a huge deal in Crestview.  There are tons and tons of people out and about trick-or-treating.  At dusk they close down Rich...

Candor took fall pictures at school.  How adorable is he!?!?

I have been dying to take Candor to Louisiana but I've been scared due to the long drive as Candor is not the greatest in the car.  He's not bad on short trips but 7 hours is a bit much for him....frankly it is a bit much for me too. I finally decided to bite the bullet and just do it.  Fortunately the week we planned to go Todd unexpectedly had to go to Houston for work so on Thursday (October 15) after MDO Candor and I drove to Houston and crashed in the hotel room with Todd.  This was Candor's first time to stay in a hotel.  He loved exploring every crack and crevice of the room.  His favorite two things to do were to remove all the tissue out of the container over and over and over and to put his face by the air conditioner and let his hair blow in the wind.  I was a little concerned about getting Candor to sleep without a rocking chair and his crib to sleep in but it actually worked out amazingly.  We gave Candor his nightly bottle and Todd he...
