Happy Halloween!

Rohan has a BLAST trick-or-treating this year. Last year he hit up 2 houses before losing interest, but this year we went around Heather & John's neighborhood and Rohan walked the whole time! Mara put together a bucket for him to use using some of his artwork from daycare, it looked really cute! Who knew Mara had a crafty side!?!? :) Rohan was a little hesitant trick-or-treating at first since he's never really had to walk up to strangers and ask for things before. Once he realized they were putting things in his bucket, he was all about it. By the end of the hour he was walking up to houses on his own and holding out his bucket, then waving bye as he walked away. It was adorable...:) Everyone loved his glow-in-the-dark skeleton outfit from Grandma Syring. Afterwards we had pizza, and watched the rest of the Sunday Night Football game then watched Scared Shrekless. Rohan was super-hopped up on sugar and was running all over the place like a crazy kid. All he had was a few pieces of candy, but it was more than he's used to. He didn't put up a fight in the car and was asleep in no time. We think he had a great Halloween...:)
Friday night we had a nice little picnic at a park near us where Rohan was showing off his soccer skills, and also showing us how fast he is. He's no longer running like an infant with straight legs, he's running with bent knees and kicking his heels up. It's fun to see him have so much fun playing! He also showed us his climbing on the playground and climbed up a 6' wall (designed for 5 year olds) all by himself! Wish he would tolerate a harness so we can get him climbing at AZR!
Saturday we met Jeanette out for a bite to eat for breakfast. We hadn't been to the gym this week (with all the running we have been doing), so it was good to see her and Rohan LOVED to feed her strawberries...:) Afterwards we watched the #15 Hawkeye's (should be higher!) stomp the #5 (overrated) Spartans. An awesome makeup for last weekends missteps. We spent the rest of the day hanging out and playing.
Sunday we took the dogs to the dog park in the morning and enjoyed some outside time where Rohan could play with the dogs and the dogs could play with the dogs. Rohan wanted to watch football so we ended up at a new sports bar near us (Amore Sports Grill). Afterwards he took a great nap while we did some more running around and shopping before heading to Heather & John's for the night.
It was a great weekend! Hope everyone had a great Halloween weekend!

I love Schroeder in the "Roughhousing" picture. He looks like a maniac!
