A Mellow Brick Road...: The Sheriff, His Horse, and The 3 Cat Burglars

This morning started off like every other Saturday, GiGi even stopped by to see you both as she does most Saturday mornings :) Mommy and Daddy put you two down for an early nap because the Community Event Center was having a costume contest and trick or treating from 12-4pm. Mommy raced off to Joann Fabrics to pick up some cat ears, tails, and burglar masks to keep in theme with your two costumes. Mommy also made an unannounced drop-in visit and managed to make it back in time to get you two dressed in your adorable costumes. Aunt Bethie, Sister Kelly, and Brother Governor aka today's photographer, arrived and we were all off to the event center. Daddy stayed behind to work on work. We arrived just in time for the infant to 2 year old costume competition. Bodhi, you danced your little horse legs across stage, Juders, you walked your bowl legged happy sheriff self right by your sister (wearing your Momma's cowboy boots from when she was little). Mommy, Aunt Bethie, and Sister Kelly accompanied you two in our cat burglar outfits...but I don't know that anyone understood what we were supposed to be. You two were by far the cutest for your age group, and Mommy is not being biased! For whatever reason, we didn't win though. It's sort of funny, Mommy went to school with one Jude, interned for the Mayor's campaign in college (when he was first running for state representative), and we were related to another Judge, and there was a sheriff deputy on the panel as well, but we still didn't win, WTH? :)- We all decided to give you both your first taste of pixie sticks, pure sugar, and wait around for the group competition, surely we'd win that! So, some time later, after you both were about to go into a sugar coma, we walked back across the stage. However, we didn't win once again! Oh well, you two are still winners, and by far the sweetest little ones there!

Afterwards, Aunt Bethie and Mommy took you two get a happy meal and some chicken nuggets for the rest of us. We met Sister Kelly and Brother Governor back at the house and had dinner. Aunt Bethie, Sister Kelly, and Brother Governor took off and Mommy threw you both in the bath. After baths Mommy and Daddy took you both to Target to get some fruit cups, diapers, wipes, and cereal :) You two were completely tuckered out by the time we arrived back home. You two are now in dream land, hopefully having sweet dreams :) Mommy and Daddy love you sweet Buddha Sheriff and sweet horsey! xoxoxox
