Daycare Halloween Parade

Holden and Cash had their Halloween Parade at daycare yesterday (10/30). The kids trick-or-treat around the district office and get fussed over by all the administrators. They do it every year, but this is the first year I was really sad to miss it; I cried on my way to school. I was so happy to log on to our district webpage after school to see Cash, our cute little monkey boy, on the front page! Spiderman was so tired from his day of fun that he was still sleeping at 4:00 when I picked him up.

The Pumpkin Patch

We took the boys to the Pumpkin Patch on Saturday, October 24th. Holden, of course, LOVED it and Cash did too. We bought a pack of 12 tickets and Holden went wild. The workers were all so nice and gave long rides and long turns. At first, Cash just hung out with Mom & Dad and played with a few pumpkins, but then we started taking him on the rides we could do with him. He was so happy, and smiled through each ride. Cash got to go on the train, the merry-go-round, the monster truck ride, and the swings. The swings were our last ride for the night. Trey went to put Holden in a swing, and I told him Cash could go too. Trey disagreed and said he was too young. I pointed to another baby, a tiny little baby girl getting on about three swings ahead of Holden. The worker told Trey babies go all the time, so Cash got to go all by himself, and he loved it!

On the Move

Since Cash has been born, he's hung out in the stroller while his brother plays in the street with his friends. On Monday, October 19th Cash decided enough is enough! He was fussy in his stroller but we weren't ready to go in yet. I took him out of the stroller and gave him the little Mickey Mouse airplane to play with on the grass. Much to my surprise, he stood up and started walking all over the place. He was so excited! He felt like a big boy to be out "playing". He walked, giggled, and screamed little happy noises of joy! We're so happy for our little guy but not so much for ourselves. Now we have two kids to keep an eye on out there.

We've Been Boo'd

We got Boo'd! Last Sunday evening, the doorbell rang and Holden and I ran to get it. What we found was a gift and a note saying that we've been boo'd. The goodie bag was filled with Halloween treats - candy, a shirt for Cash, a Halloween slinky, and a Halloween laser light. The note said we then had to Boo another house. Since last Sunday, most houses have been Boo'd. We love driving around each morning to see who else got Boo'd the night before. (Please note Holden's Batman jammies. He has lived in them since I got them a few weeks ago! Holden is Batman Crazy!)

Little Rascalz Soccer

Holden goes to a Little Rascalz soccer class every Wednesday from 4:10-5:00 with his friends Gavin and Morgan. It's a great class where kids ages 3-5 learn the fundamentals of soccer. Holden loves going, and Mommy and Daddy love catching up with their friends too. Cash plays in the grass and crawls around while the kids play soccer. It's just an all around great family time! We'll be sad when our 8 week session ends on October 28th.

Lake Mead

We went to the Lake Mead with the Conleys the weekend of September 18th. What a blast! Trey and I hadn't been for years, and he was dying to get Holden out on the jet ski. Holden took to the lake immediately. He decided he wanted to live there and never leave. What more could a boy ask for - mud, water, motorized water craft - he was in heaven! We can't wait for our future trips to the lake with our boys - it's such a perfect place for them!
