Random Tidbits

No photos today, need to catch up on that.  So we'll just go over random happenings of the past week or so.  Ewan is starting to test himself more and more every day.  He is now up to walking all the way across a room.  He will even turn around and go back for something if he gets distracted.  He should definitely be an official walking boy by his first birthday.

Jack continues to be full of energy.  He has been relatively good since he got his reward board for his birthday.  He looks forward to getting his stars for good behavior!  He has been a handful at mealtime lately though!

My "little" guys are growing way too fast!  We'll have stats soon enough...need to get their one and two year checkups in a couple weeks.  Where does the time go?!

The boys are not cooperating right now either....I've been sick and they have been full of it!!  No rest for Mommy around here!  I guess the good thing is that they have not gotten sick too.  We're thankful for that.

The boys both enjoyed Halloween.  Our neighborhood had a parade which we all enjoyed.  Jack liked the firetruck there!  We had to do a last minute costume change....for other events they were pirates, but Halloween was rather warm here so we changed Ewan to a farmer and Jack to an old man so they could wear short sleeves!  We did not go trick-or-treating.  The boys don't need candy just yet!  Jack enjoyed handing out candy though, giving extra to his new cute girl neighbor!!  Now when he sees the basket of leftover candy he says "trick treat me"!!  He wants his share of goodies too!!!  If he is actually good, which right now is random, he gets a bite.

Otherwise it's pretty much status quo here.  We're starting to get ready for Ewan's birthday.  This weekend I think I'll bake cookies....he is going to have a two tiered cake for his birthday playdate with animal cookies on the sides of the cake.  Then for his family celebration at Thanksgiving he's going to have a polka dot cake.  So we're busy with birthday AND Thanksgiving preparations here.  We look forward to seeing everyone soon enough.

The boys also look forward to seeing Grandma and Grandpa for Christmas.  This is the first time ever they'll be down here at the holidays.  The boys are trying to decide what fun activities to plan!!  Mommy is busy trying to figure out how to keep them out of the tree this year!!!!
