I didn't have any pictures...so here are some from The Pumpkin Patch last week. They're not the good ones, but I'll get the rest on here eventually!Last night we went to the Fall Festival at my parent's church. It wasn't nearly as fun as the City thingy. My sweet little flower did get her hair painted pink, after I made sure it wash out of blonde hair. My sweet sunshine chose glow in the dark. He didn't wear his bat costume, he decided to be an astronaut this time. I was so worried about him, b/c his neck is still hurting. I am taking him back to the doctor tomorrow. I have the same antsy feeling I did when he was 18 mths old and ended up in the er. I have a very strong intuitive side....and fortunately my doctor thinks a mother's intuition is about as important as any medicine. Sadly, I was in such a rush I didn't take the camera. Even sadder is that I didn't take it today either.
This morning the preschool had a little festival. I volunteered to work the boothes. It was very fun. Fun to play with the children and not have to teach them. My son decided not to wear a costume (he was only helping with me anyway). Afterwards my son and I went to lunch with all the mommy friends plus 1 dad. It's so nice I feel comfortable there and I even have new friends through the preschool. Kelley is still a my best girlfriend, but she works :-(. I haven't been sipping wine, so I won't get all sentimental.
Tomorrow we have ballet where they get to dress up again. Then we are going to "Trick or Treat" at Toys 'r' Us and then daddy will be home early!!! Tomorrow night I think we will be going to Kelley's neighborhood to play! I think we (the mommy and daddy) will be dressing up too. SOunds fun, but a little out of our norm!
Some of the other fun we've had this week:
~Pumpkin ice cream (my son's fave)
~Carving pumpkins (yes plural)
~Flu shots (not so fun and daddy gets flu shot duty next year...or atleast I can dream)
~making Christmas boxes to turn into the preschool
~voted!!!!
~Lunch at "little Which Which" Again my son's fave
~Dr's app't for my daughter's allergy to insect bites Monday
~Dr's app't Tuesday for my son's neck...oh and then a nose bleed that he didn't tell me about. I just found blood all over his face. His response..."It's no big deal" as I am freaking out. That kid is so tough, yet so breakable. He holds it all in (like his mommy) until he breaks (hence the many tears when he hits the breaking point).
~Seeing Beverly Hills Chihuahua
~Reading the entirity of Alice in Wonderland in 2 days...all 186 pages. They enjoyed it very much.
We also had an "I'm not getting out of the car moment" after the flu shots. He was THAT mad. So, I finished unbuckling him (he is still in a 5 pt harness, latched and tethered...Britax Frontier check it out..http://www.hipmonkey.com/car-seats/britax/britax-frontier/prod_97.html.), I took my daughter inside, left the front door open and sat on the ottoman, waiting for him to decide to come in. It worked...I haven't had another "power struggle" since.
It seems like there is more...it's been a long exhausting week. I haven't been able to eat...no appetite, I feel like I have mono again. I figure I need to lose weight...so what's the harm??? We did go running without daddy to push the double jogger. I only did 3.2...and then I finished with 2.6 miles on the tredmill.
That was our exciting week. I suppose the mommy should go to sleep now or clean :). Which reminds me of something my mother said her mother said (she also had 2 just short of 15 months apart)...She said she always had a broom in 1 hand and a mop in the other. Somehow she managed to keep the house cook from scrap and sew all their clothes. Did I mention she had my mom then 5 yrs later had 1 uncle followed 15 mths later by another and just short of 2 yrs another....there were also numerous miscarriages and hospitalizations (she had a hard time having babies) in there. How did she do it? I am not that strong...Of course there weren't distractions like TV and internet :-).
