Happy Halloween!

Hope your day was as fun

and full of spooks

as ours.

Time Crunch

It is the day before Halloween for the second year in a row that I do not have a costume for Gman. Poop. Last year we owned this way sweet terry cloth track suit (thanks sweet Jill Brim) for the little guy so we all went as gym teachers. The idea was presented by the Man mere hours before we were supposed to leave for the ward Halloween party but it worked. This year, thanks to the Nana, I have a good start for a costume. She gave us a shirt that looks like a skeleton so I went out and bought black sweat pants. Now, I just need to paint leg bones on the pants and the costume will be done! Maybe next year I will prepare for this holiday, here's for hopin.

Bad Mommy Moment

So, on Monday morning we returned from our whilwind trip to AZ. The trip was amazing! We got to witness some pretty wonderful events and are grateful that we went. Thanks K and B for inviting us!
We drove all night Sunday to make it home Monday morning. Gman slept most of the night in the car but it was still only about 9 hours and he is used to 12 or 13. Well, I thought that Tuesday he was behaving grumpy and not napping because he had gotten over tired because of our trip. I was not very sympathetic because I was exhausted from driving most of the way home (The Man got the flu along with half my family. Awesome!) and all that I wanted to do was have Gman sleep so I could too. Well, Tuesday night as we were getting the kid dressed for bed I looked in his mouth and sometime during the day he had TWO molars break through. Yeah, sign me up for mom o' the year. It seems like I have had too many of those bad mom moments. I'll have to figure out how to make it up to him as he gets older. Maybe a pony......

Sweet sleeper

For some time now Gman sometimes doesn't fall asleep right away when I put him down for a nap. When this happens he sits up and plays in his bed with his blankie. The only problem is that he sometimes can't lay down again. I don't know why he can't, maybe he can and just doesn't. All I know for sure is that sometimes I find him like this. All cute and folded in half. Too bad he wakes up screaming because he's been folded in half. :)

Pushin Away

Isn't this kid so cute? The Man taught him how much fun it was to push a luggage rack to and from our hotel room. Other people in the hotel thought Gman was so cute and strong. Gman thought it was fun and entertaining. And us, we just laughed and prevented him from hitting cars and walls. The only downer is that he now pushes everything around. As previously mentioned, he loves our boxes both full and empty but he also loves baby monitors, toys, books, phones, remotes, basically anything that he can get his hands on. Some electronics may never look the same but it makes my awesome kid happy. So here's to pushing everything along the floor! hmm, just had the thought, maybe I should invest in some cars......
