It was a relatively warm night, especially for Wisconsin, so he could get away with a sweatshirt under his costume. We had a great time going from house to house; many of the houses in our neighborhood really go all out ing around, all hyped up on sugar and excitement, so it was a good night.<\/p>\n<p>It was my turn to take Jake out; Alex stayed at home with Charlie to dispense candy. I ended up with the important job of holding the mask, flashlight and light saber.<\/p>\n<p>Jake got TONS of candy. He was so sweet and polite, many of the neighbors commented on how he said &#8222;please&#8220; and &#8222;thank you&#8220; which I guess from the comments, not a lot of the kids did. Jake may sometimes act like a wild little heathen but at least he&#8217;s a polite little heathen!<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Charlie wore a onesie which said &#8222;This is my costume.&#8220; After all, his bedtime was still about 5:30 then, before dark <a href=\"https:\/\/hookupdate.net\/nl\/gleeden-overzicht\/\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mir-s3-cdn-cf.behance.net\/project_modules\/1400\/f00f4d69376315.5b7ed062c44a7.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Apple Picking<\/h2>\n<p>We went apple picking one rather hot e home with lots of apples. Luckily, Jake likes apples. I had visions of making apple pie, but never got around to it.<\/p>\n<h2>Quick Jake Takes<\/h2>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been terrible about keeping up with the boys&#8216; blogs. so tired all the time! Here are some recent cute Jake stories.<\/p>\n<p>***Last night, Jake gave me a big hug, then said, &#8222;Mommy, do you know what a hug is? &#8222;No, Jake, what is a hug?&#8220; &#8222;It&#8217;s something that you give away and then it grows even bigger!&#8220;<\/p>\n<p>***Jake likes to talk about what he will be when he grows up. It changes a lot. Currently, he wants to be an actor. Specifically, the actor in the Godzilla suit. But no matter what he wants to be, he gets very anxious at some point and says, &#8222;Mommy, when I grow up I&#8217;m not going to move away. I&#8217;m going to live with you forever.&#8220; Of course, I always assure him that&#8217;s fine with me.<\/p>\n<p>***One morning, I was getting Jake dressed and when he protested something, I offhandedly said, &#8222;Come on, you want to look nice for the girls, don&#8217;t you?&#8220; He said, &#8222;No! I don&#8217;t like girls, just boys!&#8220; Alex said, &#8222;Oh, you say that now, but one day you&#8217;ll like girls.&#8220; Jake denied that he will ever like girls, to which I replied, &#8222;Don&#8217;t you want to get married one day and be a daddy or poppy?&#8220; Jake stopped for a second, thought hard, and then said, with a horrified look on his face, &#8222;No way!&#8220;<\/p>\n<p>***Another morning, Alex was watching a YouTube clip where a guy was pulling books off the shelf and reading the titles, then adding, &#8222;. in your pants!&#8220; Sort of like when you read a fortune cookie and add &#8222;. in bed!&#8220; Jake wanted to watch, so Alex let him. It was perfectly clean and the double entredres were going right over Jake&#8217;s head, but he found the concept hysterical. I came downstairs to see what all the laughter was about and found the two of them pulling Jake&#8217;s books off the shelves, reading the title and adding &#8222;. in your pants.&#8220; So it was &#8222;Journey to the Center of the Earth. in your pants!&#8220; Ha, ha, ha. &#8222;How The Grinch Stole Christmas. in your pants!&#8220; Hee, hee, hee. You get the idea.<\/p>\n<p>Jake kept laughing about this the entire car ride into school, saying titles of different books he&#8217;s read recently and adding &#8222;. in your pants.&#8220; Lately, Alex has been reading him children&#8217;s versions of classic literature.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Darth sharing the love with his little brother Jake wanted to be Darth Vader this Halloween&#8211;mostly because of the chance to wield a light saber, I suspect.
