OuR LiTtLe MoUsE

The whole reason we had chosen Quinn to be a mouse was for his Grandpa Dale. Grandpa is deathly afraid of mice and rats. Every year we do something to tease him. We thought it would be fun for Quinn to play along too. I think Quinn was too cute to really scare him. It made him smile so it was well worth it.

We had been looking forward to our ward party ever since we found out about it. We wanted to show Quinn off, of course! I put Quinn down for a nap thinking that he wouldn't sleep for very long. The time came and he was still asleep. I know when he doesn't get his sleep Quinn gets so grumpy. I wanted him to wake on his own. Mike couldn't stand it anymore and woke him. Quinn, surprisingly, was in a good mood.

Mike basically powered walked to the church because he was afraid that he would miss the party. In fact, we got there right in time. Trunk or treating had just started.

Mike had so much fun showing Quinn off. I've never seen anyone more excited and
anxious than he. Mike really is a good dad.

Mike's favorite thing to say to people when receiving the candy was, "Well, Quinn will eat it eventually...just secondhand! Angie needs to eat it first."

Grandma Karen came with us since she would miss the actual Halloween. She went to Arizona for her grandson's baptism.
