halloween happenin

Tonight I took Cam to our church's Halloween carnival. Chris stayed back with Kendall. He was SO cute and we had such a fun night. I liked having it be just him and I, allowing me to focus all my attention on him. Our church does an amazing job on the event and I can't wait until next year when Cam will love it even more.

I loved how the booths were so little kid friendly. And it didn't matter how far off they were in throwing the bean bags...they always got some candy!



A couple months back Chris and I met a couple at a park here in town. We hit it off and have gotten together a few times. I invited them to come tonight and we had a fun time hanging out together.



This fire truck was parked right at the entrance. Cam headed right toward it and got a big kick out of getting inside and looking it all over. :)

go figure

This morning I worked in Cam's class and all was fine. A couple hours later I received a call telling me he was crying very hard, wouldn't stop, and was tugging at his ear. Kendall had just gone down for a nap, so Chris hopped in the car and raced to school. We couldn't get an appointment for several hours, so he took Cam to Urgent Care. They let Chris in right away after taking one look at Cam (he was still crying very hard...which is very unlike him).

Yep, an ear infection. Finally by the end of their time there, Cam was fine and came home happy. The odd part about our little stinker was that there was no way the Tylenol they gave him could have taken effect so quickly. So how did he get over the pain and why is he so incredibly happy right now, running around the house? I guess we'll never know. After coming home and attempting a nap ("attempting" is the key word), we just played around the house. Actually we played after he ate his pumpkin cookie daddy got him from the store (he IS sick after all!).



We played out in the back so we could keep Chris company. Today was bbq chicken day...2 whole Costco bags to be exact.

disneyland

Very hot. Cam is coming down with something. Both kids either skipped all together or didn't get a good nap. Didn't get to go on too many rides.

But we had LOTS of fun and it was totally worth it. :)

saturday

Most Saturdays around here consist of, "What do you want to do?", "I don't know, what do you want to do?", "Um...we could go to Target?", "I'm tired of Target", "Hmmm...".

Yesterday, however, was a packed Saturday and we had a lot of fun. The morning started out with Chris and Cam's weekly breakfast date (donut and park). Cam was especially excited because this time he got to ride in his bike trailer. Shortly after they got back, we met some friends for the Fall Festival we had seen signs for. After realizing that we didn't know where it took place (the sign didn't say the location...go figure), we went on wild goose chase trying to find it and ended up just hanging out at a park. Note to our city: It might help if you actually tell people WHERE your big shindig is. :)

After lunch, Chris took Cam to a golf store and I took Kendall out to visit Jen. She drove out for the afternoon and I got to spend a little time with her and Ella. I'll take anytime I can get with her since we only typically have the phone as she lives an hour away.

Later that evening my parents came over to babysit. We have been wanting to try a new restaurant and a friend of mine recommended Romano's. It was sooo good and we loved the quiet/quaint atmosphere. We will definitely go there again as it had many of my "musts" for a restaurant: Good atmosphere, good bread before the meal, excellent food, salads included. :)



After a quick stop to pick up frozen yogurt on the way home, we concluded our day.

p.s. My mom made the cutest sleep sack for Kendall. I love these as they are easy to use and provide good warmth on top of the pajamas. Thanks, mom!

today

So today I was watching Sandra Lee's Semi Homemade on the Food channel. Her "theme" was a playgroup for her nephews. Chris happened to walk in while I was watching...

Chris: Wow, nothing says a boys playdate like whole wheat pitas!
Me: She said her nephew likes pitas and that's why she is using them!
Chris: Well, he needs to think about what the other boys will like...oohh, she is putting the dip in a lettuce cup! I bet the boys will go crazy over that! Lettuce!!
Me: Whatever! I think kids would totally like this dip.
Chris: Maybe she should suggest they do their math homework next. That would be a GREAT play date!

Very heated arguments go on over here...and about very important issues indeed. :)

bike

We dug out our bike trailer a few weeks back. Cam loves his bike rides, just like he used to. It is amazing how much heavier he is this time around. The poor thing is too tall to put the cover over, so we are stuck if it rains. :) Also, this trailer is supposed to be for two kids...however I don't think there is room for Kendall's leg in this thing!



Chris decided to get a little exercise and take him to school this morning on the bike. I think Cam was all for the idea.

10 questions

Three things you are wearing right now:
new comfy long sleeved shirt from Target, jean capris I've had for about 5 years, a nursing bra that has seen better days :)

caramel frapp with extra caramel, Kendall to nap longer than 30 minutes, a fairy to come and vacuum my house

Two things you did last night:
got my hair highlighted after over a year (which included the night off from bedtime-kid duty), watched 30 Rock

grapes, hot chocolate with marshmallows

Two people you last talked to on the phone:
mom, Chris

Two things you are going to do tomorrow:

Your favorite beverages:
hot chocolate, frapp, cola (I don't like non-colas very much like sprite, fresca, etc.)

Two things that have made you smile in the last 12 hours
having Cam ask me "how's it going mama?" when I walked into his room this morning, feeding Kendall rice cereal

One thing you wish you wouldn't have wasted TV time on
"Ghost of Girlfriends Past" -honestly, the fact that they talked about sex the first 15 minutes was annoying, so I ended up turning it off. Plus I'm tired of Matthew McConaughey's role he ALWAYS plays of, "I'm a sexy guy that no girl can tame".

Two things you will do today
go to Costco for our weekly family trip, take a walk with kids
