Yes, I know that it's December! It took all my energy to get through the last week of the quarter and finals--then I kinda crashed and I'm still trying to recover. But anyway, my personal woes aside, I wanted to share a bit about what we were up to in October--it was a big month!
Nathan LIVES for try-a-truck day in our town where the city brings out some of their big trucks and the kids get to climb up in them and check them out. He absolutely LOVES it! So, this year one of his favorite machines was out--the little baby excavator! Guess how long we spent checking out the little baby excavator?!?! I lost track of the time--I should have brought a chair!!
Then Alan had his 14th birthday!!! I can't believe he's 14! He's already talking about driving! I told him that he was not allowed to talk about driving until he was 15--so he switched his tactic and just talks about cars now! That's fine, I can hang with that! Yes, I know he needs a hair cut--I keep telling him that and teasing him about looking like Justin Bieber so he'll cut his hair--not working so far! He's still handsome!
One of our annual traditions is to carve pumpkins with our family members as part of his birthday celebration. Here are this year's creations!
Then of course we had trick-or-treat!! YEA!! I LOVE trick-or-treat!! Alan decided that he wasn't going out this year. Nathan was Boba Fett and his little neighbor friend was Jango Fett (or maybe it was the other way around, whatever)....they were a HUGE hit in the neighborhood!!! Scott was this weird, gruesome zombie-skeleton thing--great costume!! (Thanks grandma!)
More later...............
