Keeping Busy

We have had a busy fall.  With school stuff, birthday parties, and halloween/fall fun, I've barely had time to sit down.  Which is good because I need to keep myself busy.  I have something on my mind and I need to not think about it for a little while (I'll explain later)! 

Today we went to a Halloween party at a local college.  It ended up being 70 degrees today, which is quite unusual for here, so Nicholas' warm winter costume wasn't going to make it to the party.  But, Nathan's superman costume worked perfectly, and Nicholas was a little skeleton.  Nana and Papa joined us and we took a hayride, painted pumpkins and other good stuff. 

My boys are growing up so fast.  Nicholas has made significant changes the past few months since starting school.  He holds hands much better...don't get me wrong, he still wants to run around, but he will hold my hand for much longer of a period of time.  He also communicates so much more.  He uses many more words and can express himself in creative ways. 

We are keeping busy and a busy week is ahead of us getting ready for Halloween...

What a Treat!

I recently had a day to myself with the boys.  So, I decided to get crafty and  make some trick or treat bags with them.  This is one of two projects that I really wanted to do this Halloween season (the other is to make the pumpkin cake pops from Bakerella).
So, we got to work...

Nicholas has a cold, so he decided to snack and watch.  His first cold of the school season, but.he made it a month into school before he got it, so I can't complain too much.  Oh, and we scheduled surgery with the ENT for December to replace his ear tubes.  I really hope that helps improve his speech.

Here is our homemade trick or treat bags (very bad shot, but you get the idea).....

Nathan could NOT wait for his Superman costume to arrive in the mail.  He REALLY wanted it to get here.  So, it finally arrived and he eagerly put it on...my little Superman...now if only I can convince Nicholas to wear a costume...
