We are so lucky!

So, yesterday after sacrament we dropped Dawson off at nursery. He has started loving going and can't wait to see sister Rice every week. And then we headed to Sunday School. After church we went to pick him up and the teachers said we need to talk to you guys. I was like okay now what...apparently last week he hit a girl. She proceeded to tell us that Dawson was lost. The leaders reassured me that he was back and safe but that somehow he managed to get out and nobody knew he was missing. Apparently a random primary teacher happened to be in the hall, luckily, and saw him walking outside around the building and brought him back to the nursery. Now, at this point I am like totally freaking out thinking of all the terrible things that could have happened to my little buddy. It's a very big nursery and quite frankly there probably aren't enough leaders. I have no idea how he managed to get out. He was playing in the room on Saturday morning while we were cleaning the church and he couldn't get out so it's all really strange. Anyway the moral of the story is we are so lucky that nothing happened and that he is safe. And so grateful that he was protected. Funny side note I asked him where he was going after we got home and he said to the park. There is a park that is fairly close to the church and he is such an adventurous little guy. I feel so bad for the poor nursery leaders. I know they felt terrible. It was just kind of a crummy situation. However, we can now add Houdini to his resume. :)

Trunk or Treat

It was our first time going to a trunk or treat and it was so fun and perfect for Dawson. Since he was a pirate we decorated the trunk with a pirate theme. Dawson had fun walking around getting candy and we have enjoyed eating it :)

Carving Pumpkins

We had our annual pumpkin carving with our friends. We did it the week before Halloween since pumpkins here last a total of like 5 or 6 days before the humidity has made them a moldy mess. So, we enjoyed them for a couple days and threw them away first thing Tuesday morning. We probably waited too long because they were gross but we wanted them for Halloween. Dawson picked the small one and had a fun time going to town on the guts with a spoon.

Disneyland

We decided to go to Disneyland last weekend. We had so much fun watching Dawson get so excited.



He always asks to ride the horses first



Finally tall enough to ride the go-karts. He was SO excited

Sea World Trick of Treating

We were able to go to Sea World a couple weeks ago and trick or treat and watch the Halloween inspired shows. So much fun.
