Getting Ready

Mason was in full costume last night! Our church had a Halloween party and they got to dress up. He won best dressed for the kindergarten class. He was on cloud nine! Tonight is Trick-or-Treat, so I'll post more pictures later.

Hanging with Nana

We took Nana to the World Chili Cookoff this weekend. We decided that we should enter next year, because our chili is WAY better than most that we tasted. In the picture above, you'll see that Mason found his favorite booth.

We also went to the Book Festival at the Civic Center. Nana and Mason played blocks in the children's area.

The Tooth Fairy Has Visited!

Mason lost his first tooth this weekend! It was an exciting event at our house. It became loose on Saturday night at a birthday party... then it fell out on Sunday morning while he was brushing his teeth. The tooth fairy came last night and left him $5 and a note. ;)

Meet Buford!

This if Buford, the latest addition to the Deel household. Mason won him at a fishing contest at the Fall Festival on Saturday. This was his temporary home. He now has a nice, lit tank with a filter, a "No Fishing" sign, rocks, etc... it was a fun trip to Wal-Mart. He did have a brother named Ferb for about 12 hours... but Ferb died. RIP buddy... Mason performed his first funeral this evening. It was very cute. He took it like a man.

So Cool

Mason got a skull and bones tattoo at his school's Fall Festival on Saturday - on his face! He named it Jolly Roger... It took about 10 minutes of aggressive scrubbing (and alcohol!) to remove tonight. I'll let you guess whether it was rubbing alcohol or the real stuff. HA!

Having Fun at Gander Mountain

While Daddy was shopping, Mason explored the store and found a huge dog cage... so he decided to take a rest inside of it!

We couldn't find Daddy so we hunted him for a while...

Big Boy

My friend Lesli visited us last week and brought her 6-week-old little guy Will. Mason got to hold him but Will wasn't having it. ;)
