October in South Carolina

The weather has been great this month. It's actually tolerable to be outside. Braeden and I have spent our weekends in downtown Charleston and at the beach. One of Braeden's favorite things to do is to write his name in the sand. He will also ask how to spell other names to write.
Braeden was an Indian for Halloween this year. At first he wanted to be a fireman but the helmet that came with the costume did not fit his head - way too small. But I'm actually glad he was the Indian. He looked so handsome - just like his dad!!!
Our routine for the weekends includes football games and going to Uncle Jim's and Aunt Alice's house. He knows that after the game we are headed to their house. He loves playing with Brandon and Jordan and seeing his aunt and uncle.

 Braeden and I go to high school football games on Friday nights

 Aunt Alice made cupcakes and Braeden obviously loved them

 Isle of Palms

 One of Braeden's favorite things to do at the beach is to go the Windjammer. Great burgers!

 Beach + Sun + Burger = Tired Little Guy

 My Little Mohican

 Braeden did a great job passing out candy at the house. He was also very generous with the candy

We trick-or-treated in my neighborhood. The neighborhood is mostly young professionals so a lot of the houses were not participating but the ones that were made it fun. Because Braeden is so shy, I told him that if he didn't say "Trick-or-Treat" and "Thank-you", the vampire would come out. We saw a vampire at the Halloween store and Braeden did not like one bit. Now he thinks that vampires get very angry eyebrows if people don't use good manners. I sound more like my mom everyday and I'm going to use this one as long as I can.
