Happy Halloween 2012

"Uh oh...Mom painted a mustache on me!"

"Are you kidding?"

"Let's do this!"

We went trick-or-treating across the street at Pam & Dave's; Cole loved it!  He got all excited seeing the other kids (like Lewis in his tiger costume!) out and about!

Happy Halloween!

Hawaiian Crockpot Chicken

Ingredients:

* 4-6 chicken breasts

* 1 bottle Hawaiian-style BBQ sauce

* Large can of crushed pineapple 

Directions:

Put everything in the crockpot and cook for 6 hours on low. Serve over rice.

Super easy recipe!  I used frozen chicken breasts and cooked for 9-10 hours.  Also used Guy Fieri's Pacific Rim Wok & Sauce.  Turned out great!  Thank you, Pinterest!

Surprise Visit

Grandma & Granddad made a surprise visit to daycare to see Cole!

Needless to say, they were a hit!

Hangin' at Grandma & Grandpa's

All he needs is a Tupperware lid and he's perfectly happy!

Oh boy!  New toy!

Reading time!

Stella's thinking, "You'd better not crawl in there!  That's MY kennel!"

Here comes trouble...

...Ahhh!

All tuckered out!
