Gardner Village

Nothing says fall like gardner village in october. We go everyyear to see the witches. The kids love to go, mostly because I let them pick a treat at the candy store. They humor me and let me take some pics. We had a good time.

Yes it's october

C had been waiting for the snow all day. It didn't start snowing really hard until late in the day. After we watched the movie and cleaned up the eggs (see the next post) C really wanted to go out and build a snowman. We went outside about 9:30p.m. and played in the snow. The kids had a blast and C made the first snowman of the year. We really had a fun and busy day. Thanks J, C, M for making life so fun.

Oh MY!

Saturday was a busy day. We decided to have movie night. We got out he sleeping bags and watched movies and slept in the family room. Half way through the movie M left the room. He had been gone for 10 min or so and I started calling for him. M where are you ... no answer M where are you...no answer. M where are you. He walks in and says uh oh. He was holding his hands out. I thought he had just washed his hands and needed help turning off the water. I walk into the kitchen and this is what I found. He is always trying to get the eggs and this time he was successful. It really was pretty funny until he started walking in it. I was lucky to have it mostly cleaned up before he slipped and fell. M I hope this fed your curiosity for eggs and never feel the need to do this again.

Ebay

I have been going crazy on ebay. I hate buying halloween costumes for regular price. That is just craziness they are way overpriced. My goal everyear is to find costume for a great price. Luckily my kids don't mind. They told me what they wanted to be and that is when i went to ebay. I won this costume for like $1.50 and paid $8.00 or so for shipping. C was thrilled and there is nothing better than getting a fun package in the mail. Thanks ebay. C you look great.

Bundle Up!

This morning was a busy one. We had to get R to the airport and make it to J soccer game all by 10:00 a.m. This usually would be fine but it was the coldest day of the year and we had to bundle up. We broke out the winter clothes tried to match up mittens and be on our way. Some how M got out of the house with this hat. They all looked so great I had to take a pic. We make it to the game right on time to find out it was cancelled. We we went to McDonald's for breakfast. It was fun and a lot warmer. To bad for C he really enjoys getting bundled and loves to wear his snow boots.

Is it a chipmunk or squirrel?

I was sitting in my kitchen the other day and looked out the window and found this little guy hanging out around our house. I have no idea where he came from but the kids loved watching it. We found out it was here getting dog food. We gave him some nuts and seeds. It was a fun afternoon.

C birthday Party

We had a birthday party for C. It was mass choas. I don't think the kids noticed but just try to imagine 20 kids to 2 parents. We had a donut cake and then ate the donuts from a string. We played a few games had pizza, and watched Robin Hood on the big screen outside. One would think the kids would be involved with the movie, I think we had there attention for about 10 minutes. They were more interested in playing tag and in the sand box. C had a really good time I guess that is all that matters. Let's just say I will never do that again.

C we love you so much and can't believe how much you have changed in the last year. You have come out of your shell and been more conident. I have loved watching you make new friends. You have such a kind heart and are always letting your light shine. Your are quick to share and always thinking of others. I can't believe how good you are to your little brother. You are always wanting to help him and share with him. I have loved watching your playful side come out. You love to laugh at funny things and laugh at things that only little boys think are funny. You have such a great imagination. I love to watch you ride your bike, run faster than a speeding bullet, play soccer, practice golfing. And the many other things that you enjoy doing. You are so wonderful. We love you so much.
