Happy Fall!





We went to a Fall party hosted by some of the families at N's preschool Saturday and had a great time. N dressed as a fireman and loved his outfit! M's outfit had not come in the mail yet, so he just dressed in a Halloween jon jon. He was so patient as they painted his face and did not fuss at all! The boys went on a hayride, ate cupcakes, jumped in a bounce room, and played with friends. They had a good time (except that the wind kept blowing N's fireman hat off!) One of the hosts of the party took this picture of us and although we are not all looking our best, it is the first picture in a while with all of us in it. Happy Fall!

More Grandparents

We had another exciting week this week with more grandparents! Gracie and Bob-O came this week and we had a wonderful time! We went to the zoo one day, played outside a lot, and had a lot of fun. J and I had to go out of town for the weekend for a business meeting, so Gracie and Bob-O babysat. They took N to his soccer game and watched him mope around the field and stare at the ground...(we don't think N really likes soccer!) They also got to spend the afternoon with one of my mother's friends that lives nearby and her daughter and grandson.
This has been a fabulous past 2 weeks filled with fun grandparent time! Today is back to reality and what I like to call "Mommy Boot Camp." This is always our routine after everyone leaves and reality sets in. No more La-La land where N and M get what they want and rule the roost! Today is a cold, rainy day so it has been a great day to stay at home! N put on his galoshes (sp?) and rain jacket and went outside for a few minutes, but it was even too yucky for him... I have been trying to sort through winter and summer clothes and M loves to help me unorganize all that I have organized!

Grandparents

We have had a great week. Jean Mommy and Papa Nelson came in last weekend to stay and we had so much fun. The boys really enjoyed playing with them and entertaining them! They went to soccer practice with us and watched N sit under a tree and pick leaves most of the time. They took both the boys to the park and out to dinner while Mommy and Daddy had a date... which was a treat for us (and quite adventurous of them I thought!) They also went to N's soccer games last Saturday and missed some of the day's college football games... a big sacrifice, but I know they did it gladly! We really had a nice visit and it was a lot of fun for all!

Cousins






We went to see my Uncle this past weekend for the night and had so much fun. N and M had a blast with their cousins and it was so warm at their house that they actually got to go swimming! We had so much fun and it was so nice be with family!

Soccer Game!

N had his first soccer game 2 weeks ago and another last week. I was waiting to get all the pictures developed to post about his superb athletic ability. We think he has touched the ball once in each game so far, but he has a lot of fun! He runs around with the little pack of kids and occasionally, one of them kicks the ball in the right direction. It is a hoot! Last week, N found out that if he kicked the chalk on the field, it created a lot of dust... this was much more fun that soccer! Of course, he is quite fond of the uniform, shin guards, and shoes... and the treat that he gets afterwards from the team mother's. It is fun to watch him play and thankfully noone takes it very seriously!





M had so much fun watching the big kids play!


Watching soccer is an exhausting sport!
