Another week gone by.....whoosh....actually, another month gone by.....just like that! Which only brings us closer to one of the best times of year, Christmas! Now that Halloween has come and gone (yay!), almost time to get out the decorations and get the season started!! Yay!!
Not a big fan of Halloween....I mean now that I am a mother, I do enjoy the little ones dressed up in their costumes and the excitement they exude BUT to be honest, if I didn't have them, wouldn't care much one way or the other. Yep, I guess I'm a Halloween Scrooge....hm, wonder what the proper term is. Halloweenie perhaps!! Hehe...Hallo-weenie....that is me.
This past weekend was wonderful...I just LOVED having almost my whole family with us from Friday to Sunday....with Mom and Dad still with us until tomorrow. Friday night we took the family out for Mom's 60th birthday. The six of us (Mom, Dad, Shawn, Cheryl, J and I) went to The Keg for a really great dinner and some drinks. Vicki was gracious enough to come to the house and watch our four rugrats so that we could go out and enjoy a nice adult dinner. Afterwards, back to the house where some good friends and family helped us celebrate the occasion. It really turned out to be a great night....for my great Mom!
Saturday, of course, was Halloween. Johnathon, Cheryl and I start getting the kids' costumes on only to find that the costume I picked up for Shane was not going to fit. So, we took off the heavy sweater underneath...and nope! Not going to happen unless we let him walk around all wedgy-lion like!! Thank goodness for Cheryl offering to switch up the little ones' costumes so in the end, all worked out well. Phew! And didn't they look great!! It was the first time that all four boys went out together. It was fun...I hope we can do the same next year.
Unfortunately, not too long after we finished up trick or treating, Shane came down with a bit of a fever....and it's been off and on now ever since. Poor little munchkin. I know he is doing alright though...the medicine is certainly working. Even though you can see it in his eyes, he is still running around the house, still giving us lots of big smiles and giggles....he didn't even nap yesterday after we tried for over an hour (Very unusual). Thankfully, the boys were able to stay home today with Goki. I even let Nicholas play hooky so that he could spend a day with Popa and Goki before they leave tomorrow. Don't think I have to tell you that he was more than thrilled!
Minus Shanes' cold and fever, it was a great weekend. Oh...and just to add....three games of Phase 10 and guess who won them all????!!! That's right my friends....that's right!
