Halloween

Let me start by saying...I love Halloween!!  I wish I could have cooler decorations, but I love seeing all the kids dressed up and creative costumes people come up with. Dave and I decided to dress up at the very last minute and I went as the crazy cat lady and he was jack and Coke. The good and bad thing about living in California is it was 84° on Halloween. We were all in shorts and tank tops and still sweating!  But. I guess it's better than 30° weather. 

Saturday morning our friends Tiffany, Joel, and their dog peanut came over to visit with Little man. T-man was in full Halloween spirit all day!  It was great to see them and catch up. After they left, we headed to my parents for family dinner and to celebrate MY BROTHERS ENGAGEMENT!!!!  He surprised us all my asking his girlfriend Saturday morning. We love her and are excited she will be part of the family. I'm looking forward to another wedding!  Halloween evening was crazy in my neighborhood!  Tons of people drive in and drop off their kids. It's crazy. But, the kiddos had fun and that's all that matters. 

Sunday I went for a quick run before we had family pictures at jc Penney. I'm so happy with how they turned out. We had to do little man's nine month pics, family pictures, and Christmas pictures all at once. T-man did awesome!!!  He wasn't so happy towards the end with the family pictures, but we have some great ones of him which excites me!

Life

Well, not too much has been going on the past week. Dave was traveling to Nashville this week and I was a single Mom. I actually feel like it's easier when he is out of town to take care of little man. Maybe it's because I don't have to worry about dinner planning, cleaning, and grocery shopping, I don't know. But, while he was gone my Dad and I headed to the cabin for 3 days. It was a nice mix of boring and relaxing. Little man was great and enjoyed climbing over everything and standing himself up!  We have a big boy on our hands now. A top tooth finally broke through and he's crawling all over the place and exploring everything!  

I made a new mom friend a few weeks ago that has been really awesome!  She lives around the corner and has a 2 year old and 6 month old. What's even better is she runs!  So we have been getting together a few mornings a week to run together and gossip. It's been so nice to have another stay at home mom so close who likes to run!  

Here are some pics from the cabin.

Oh I forgot we had a little Halloween parade last weekend!  Nothing crazy, but it was great to get little man dressed up and see all the kids in the neighborhood. They handed out glow sticks and T-man loved his!  

Busy busy...

Man, I feel like I need to keep up with this more often.  The remainder of the time Dave's parents were here was great. We went to the pool and just relaxed with them. Saturday morning Dave left to go help my brother move a bunch of his stuff into our spare bedroom. He'll be storing items there until his new house is ready. After we finished moving his item into the house, we headed to my sisters for the boys birthday party.  I had made the cupcakes and pretzels stick for the party and we helped her finish the set up once we got there. I don't have any pics from the party because I left my phone in the car. It was really fun and all the food was delicious!

On Sunday we decided to paint the stairwell in the house. The previous owners had painted almost all of the house, but randomly left 3 walls on the stairwell white. So, we finally painted it and it looks soo much better!  Now I just need to buy some picture frames and finish the wall with a family picture wall.  Later in the evening the neighbor kids came over to play with little man and we all went for a walk together. The kids are 6 and 11 and are super cute and sweet with little man. They call him their baby and ask if he can spend the night. 

Yesterday, I did a Pinterest craft with little man to gift to the grandparents and for us. It was a fun little craft, but took me forever to stencil all the lettering. Oh well it's worth it. We also hit the pool with Papa. Got to love that it's mid October and still 95° out!  I'm so ready for some fall weather. 

 

Here are some pics from the past week:
