They got lots of errands complete and because he was such a good boy Daddy bought him a new little toy. He loves it and he's been very thankful.
When I got home from work yesterday I noticed Declan has a poppy on his jacket. He told me he gave the money to the man to thank the soldiers who fought for us in the wars. Then he said that "Daddy's grandpa was in the war and he was in a tank and he, Daddy? Did he hold a gun or was there a gun on the tank? Oh there were guns on the tank." Very nice that he paid attention to Daddy when he shared that story earlier in the day. He really does hear you and remembers so well.
Today Declan and I went to Walmart to get treats for Halloween. We checked out all the decorations that were left, then Declan looked at toys (we discussed in advance that there would be no new things today). After Walmart we visited the family friendly Haunted House at the Milton Mall. Turns out it was a little scarier than I was expecting. Even though I carried Declan through it he still got startled and jumped. I walked to keep myself between Declan and anybody that would jump out. Then we turn a corner and there is a women laying on a table and a man about to cut her open. I said "ok, turns out he's a little too young for all this." The man in costume says to Declan "I won't scare you." They were good and it was over quickly. When Declan told Daddy about it at home he said "There was a man dressed as a zombie and he told me he wouldn't scare me."
Daddy: "oh ya?"
Declan: "yup and he had a chainsaw."
I think perhaps a Mommy fail?
