Naughty or maybe just a little Curious

My mom gave me great advice about Kendall being naughty. Take a deep breath, then grab the camera, you'll laugh about it later. Its usually not funny at the time, especially when I'm cleaning acrylic paint out of my parents carpet thinking oh shiz please please come out. Finding all these pictures really made me laugh thinking of the memories that came with them.

Not really naughty just a little curious. He was 10 months old, we would tell him no and he would just look up at us and give us a cheesy grin.

He was throwing laundry soap everywhere, and ate a little bit. He was not very happy after he ate it. haha

Anytime there is water near he's not just walking, but running as fast as his little legs will take him.

This is not the first or last time this has happened. Marker and crayon have appeared on other non paper items as well my dads computer screen (ouch) , walls, etc...

Not naughty, but hilarious! My dad dressed him this day. Oskers shorts make great short shorts

Cute, but notice the background mess. This happens anytime the game room closet at my parents is open

He just put a mustache on Osker. This is a perfect picture of his face after he's been mischievous

Second or maybe third time this has happened

Finger nail polish, I didn't get a picture of the cars he painted as well

I've learned through these past 2 yrs 9 months that if he's being quiet he's usually getting into something. That a minute with my back turned is enough time to make a huge mess. That it's better to have him help me clean up the mess than get mad about it. It may take him a time or two before he won't do it again, but he is learning. That for every mess (frustration) there are a hundred adorable, sweet, cuddly moments that counter act it. Seriously look at that sweet face, its impossible to stay frustrated when he tells you sorry, then gives you a big hug and kiss.

Halloween was a blast this year! After looking at least a hundred costumes online Kendall picked Woody and would not budge. Osker was a cute little owl.
Kendall was sick last year so we only made it to the trunk or treat in our ward building, sort of lame to have a bunch of people lined up and just hand you candy. This year we decided to skip our ward trunk or treat and go to my parents. Kendall loved it! He was cracking up at everyones costumes and totally jazzed that everyone was giving him candy. We were cracking up at him , if anyone had more than one piece of candy in their hand he would take it. They would just laugh and tell him he was cute enough to have two pieces.

I love his expression in this picture, he was totally confused by his mask. Right after this picture kendall started laughing at him.



After trunk or treat we headed to Rick and Cindy's neighborhood.

His best friend Payton, we didn't plan for them to match.

For Kendalls costume I didn't want to buy a woody outfit he could never use again. We bought the shirt and boots at Gymboree, the wranglers at calranch, an accesory pack with a hat, vest ( which looked like a rectangle with holes at first), star badge, and bandana. I hated the plastic hat that came with the accesory pack so Rick and Cindy picked up a hat at down town disney while they were there. I didn't get a picture of the vest before, but it was terrible! I gave the front shape, trimmed the sides, added a draw string, and sewed around the edges.

Oskers costume idea came from Martha Stewart. The wings would have been huge so I made the wing pattern smaller. The instructions have you iron the wings, but I decided to sew the lines instead. They had a pilot hat, but I didn't have time to order one so I bought a regular baby hat from walmart, cut it to the right shape, sewed it on the machine, then folded it under and then blanket stitched it.
