Happy Halloween!

Wow, it has been quite a while since I have blogged! So much has happened and life is pretty fun and full. Most recently, last night was Halloween. Both boys were pirates, and they made a great pair! We ended up going over to the McIntire's house and trick-or-treating around their neighborhood. We met the McIntires because Spencer and their daughter, Bronwyn, were "best friends" in Pre-K at Primrose last year. Since then, we have gotten to know the whole family, the kids are still best friends and we love doing things together. Trick-or-treating was a blast and the kids got TONS of candy. (Adam was very pleased) Afterwards, we went to the McIntire's new house, which is on a couple of acres and had a hot dog/marshmellow roast! Needless to say we were all sacked out as soon as we got home! What fun!

Why is it so hard?

Last night was my first night back at the Activity Center at Life Time. I worked from 4-9 pm. Adam was home, but we still had my mother-in-law come in and baby-sit the boys. The plan is for her to come over every Tuesday afternoon, spend the night, and watch the boys on Wednesday while I work 9 am-1 pm. I can also take the boys with me on Wednesday if she just wants one on one time or needs to do something else. This is a big help, plus, she gets to be involved in the boys' life a lot more than maybe she normally would. Anyway, I got home last night and Adam just seemed so exhausted and said "It was really diffucult" When I asked why, he just said that he was not the mom, and he doesn't have boobs. Hmmm. Interesting.

Today when dinner was over and I knew Elliott was fed and should be napping, I handed Elliott over to Adam and said he needed someone to cuddle with. Adam said sure (he was watching TV and it wasn't inconvienient for him) I got Spencer started with a coloring project, and thought now I have some time to sit down and do our August budget. But, alas, Elliott was not going right to sleep and of course Adam handed him to me saying "he's hungry" (Adam's response everytime Elliott fusses, no matter if he's just eaten or not) So, budget is not getting done tonight. Spencer made some great pictures, Elliott had a great night, and both the boys are bathed and in bed. I do, however, still hear Spencer singing to himself upstairs! :)

Update 8/18

Okay, so I haven't been too good at blogging, but, hope to be better once "school" starts. Spencer is starting preschool at Weekday Learning Center on September 1st. He will be going Tuesday and Thursday. I am working at Lifetime on Monday and Wednesday during the day and will start on Tuesday nights around the middle of September. Elliott is continuing to grow and show more interest in things. He is particularly enthralled with his toys hanging from his bouncy seat. We call them his "friends" It is cute! He is also getting very curious about his hands. Spencer continues to be a great big brother, but he still gets in Elliott's face a bit too close and loud for Elliott sometimes. Now, off to start the HUGE to do list around the house. It is such a pit because we had my 30th birthday party last Saturday and we had company and I worked and Adam's back is still hurt pretty bad. The house will eventually be clean (maybe)
