Happy Birthday To Me!
Okay so I have really been slacking on the blogging thing. My excuse....my computer died and was getting fixed, luckily nothing was lost this time so that makes me extremely happy!
Lots has been going on - well lots of stuff but really just everyday ordinary stuff that keeps us busy. Now that Grayson is older we get to go out more and do fun stuff. We've been going swimming, jack's sports class (grayson in babysitting which he loves!), play places at the mall (jack's favorite). We listen to the Polar Express music all day whether we are at home or in the car! Jack loves it. Grayson puts up with it...ha ha!
October has been fun since we had no photobooth events. We have had weekends to be free and do anything which Dave has LOVED and so have the kids! Grayson is now 9 months old and a child who WILL NOT sit still. When changing his diaper you have not seen such a squiggly kid. He thinks its funny too! I tell him to sit still and he'll slide away and laugh. It takes me forever just to get the diaper on cause he is just moving. I need a belted changetable for him (menatl note**!) But he is a good kid. Loves to hang out and watch Jack and MUST be in bed by 8. Its an internal clock for him....he is cranky and tired by 8. He is kinda sleeping through the night. He wakes up a couple times but just needs his soother and is back to sleep so I can pretty much sleep walk into his room, put in a soother and walk out! Still I feel unrested in the a.m.
Sidenote***They are both napping right now! AHHHH! So nice to get them down for a nap together - that doesn't happen too much anymore I love these days!
As for my birthday - it started out playing a dirty trick on me as I woke up thinking well I am only 31 today - not bad - I still have 4 years until I am 35 I can still squeeze in a couple more kids (I know what I am thinking!). Then a few moments later I realized Dave is 37 this year, I am not 31, I am 32. Not funny! I guess I can't squeeze in anymore kids!!!haha
For my b-day we went to Butterfield Acres a petting zoo in Calgary. We had tickets for a pumpkin hunt. It was lots of fun - Jack LOVED it! Especially the pumpkin hunting. We got to ride on a wagon pulled by a tractor. Jack loves tractors. Then we headed into the trees and Jack got to get out and go search for a pumpkin to bring home. He was like "I see one, I see a pumpkin" and ran to it. After we got back we decorated the pumpkin and then played for the next little while. They had lots of playgrounds and lots of petting animals to see. Jack was fascinated, I mean really fascinated by the goats poo. They pooed alot in front of him. He still talks about it today! Funny kid! After we got home, we were so stinky and dirty from the Farm that we bathed the kids, and got them ready for bed. I picked up our babysitter - YAAA! (our first YW babysitter) and Dave and I headed out to a movie and dinner! It was fun although I did stress about the babysitter getting the kids to bed. After all the stressing she said it was so easy, Grayson fell asleep drinking his bottle and Jack fell asleep reading books. This never happens for me and Dave. We must have tired them out all day! So it was a pretty fun day! Fun to go somewhere we haven't been before.
Now we are gearing up for Halloween. Jack and I (and grayson although he is usually sleeping) drive around alot and look at all the houses and their Haloween decorations. I think Friday we are going to decorate our window and porch. He'll like that. Jack has 3 Halloween parties to go to. So he will get some good use out of his Batman costume which he loves. So cute! Although I think he will be overloaded on candy! Grayson sadly will have to wear Jack's first costume a penguin suit(the downfalls of being a second child - hand-me-downs - no new costume this year....when he is bigger!)
I think that is it for now - too much to do while the kids are sleeping....enjoy the pics.
