Happy Halloween!!



















Today Conrad, cousins Alex and Jilly, and Aunt Jaime went to my office for some early trick-or-treating. My office decorates the entire building for foster children. Everyone gets all dressed up and trick-or-treats through the building. It is wonderful and everyone gets really into it. We're talking fog machines, customs, strobe lights, the whole bit. There were even 2 dogs there. One was Toto the dog and one was dressed as a pumpkin. Here is Conrad with his friend, Grace. I work with Grace's mommy, Jenn. Grace is a skunk and Conrad is a firefighter. They are sitting in the foggy woods...Aren't they adorable!!!

Trick-or-Treat


Monday night we went to our friend's the Currie's house to carve pumpkins. This was the 4th annual pumpkin carving they have had. Each year gets better and better. They have food (Haley always has peanut M&M's, my favorite!!), carving utensils, and prises! It was so much fun! Everyone is getting really creative. Conrad is in his PJ's, he got to stay up way past his bed time! He loved watching everyone and seeing all the pumpkins lit up at the end of the evening. Can you guess which pumpkin is Tim's?

The Spud State

This past weekend we went to Idaho to visit Aunt Kelly, Uncle Chris, and dog cousin Sage. This was Conrad's first time on an airplane. He did great! He played on the way there and fell asleep in Tim's arms on the way home. Aunt Kelly and Uncle Chris picked us up and helped carry all of our loot to their house. It would be tragic if we left anything at home, and God forbid we have to go to the store!! :)

Conrad had a wonderful time with his Aunt and Uncle! I don't think he was put down the entire weekend! Conrad had fun hanging out with Uncle Chris and dad while Aunt Kelly and I went and got pedicures, and then fancy cupcakes. WOW! Those were good!!! The next day we went to our favorite BBQ joint, The Rib Shack. It has the best food I have had, and not to mention the pickles...Uncle Chris and I share one. We then toured around the area, visiting the fire station Uncle Chris works at and the mall to pick up some Idaho Spuds for Great-grandma Virginia. (We don't tell her she can get them at 7-11, they are better this way!) Saturday night we went out to dinner then came back and had a Cranium tournament-boys against girls. The boys cheated so they took the victory. Although we gave a good shot. Sunday morning Aunt Kelly and I ditched the boys and hit some shops. We then grabbed some lunch and headed to the airport. The flight home was over-booked so we were all crammed in there. Conrad was very sleepy from his fun adventures, and fell asleep in Tim's arms. Too cute!

After we got in on Sunday, we literally dropped our bags and headed over to Grandma Lynn and Papa Dick's for family pumpkin carving. That was fun! Stew and Carmel apples. Nothing says fall like those foods!

There were so many fun pictures from the trip that I had to make a slide show. Hope you enjoy!

TIS THE SEASON...For snot, sneezes, and coughing. That's right, all the Pfeifer's have had a cold. I got it first then Tim and Conrad. It was not fun. So since I have been under the weather, let me catch you up on the last 2 weeks.

Below is Conrad brushing his teeth. Thank you Aunt Kelly! We are learning good habits early and have the necessary tools thanks to Conrad's Aunt Kelly. Above is Conrad in his jammies attempting to crawl. He really wants to do and is trying very hard. Also above is Conrad at Kornblats. It is a great Jewish place to eat on NW 23rd. Tim and I love it! The pickles are to die for! I made Tim take us out after being home-bound for 2 days. Conrad was helping me decide what to order. He was very busy people watching. What can I say, he gets that from me. (although it's acceptable for him to look at people weird). :)


Last Sunday Conrad went on a sleeping strike. After 3 hours of bargaining, we finally came to an agreement. He slept with Tim on the couch. How sweet is he??

Ok, this is a bit random and you may all be aware of these, but I found the best new product today. Lysol Dual Action Wipes! Told you it was random...I love them, just wanted to share that. :) I also have to say to Aunt Jaime-great job today! I am very proud of you and you are inspiring!

Stayed tuned...we have a very busy October/November planned.

RAINY FRIDAYS



What do you do on days where you do not even want to leave the house? You have your big cousin "J" over and learn how to make brownies! Conrad is watching his big counsin "J" make brownies. He was a big help and learned how to crack an egg. :)

I have to say, there is nothing better then hot brownies right out of the oven!

Rub a Dub-Dub, Conrad's in the Tub!!!






I have to admit this is my favorite time of the day. As you can see, Conrad loves his bath time. He plays with his duckie and sings while getting cleaned. And when we done, daddy is waiting with a clean towel to dry him off, diaper, and put jammies on him. You can almost see his teeth on one pictures!

There is nothing better then a clean, sweet smelling baby to put to bed!!
