Happy Thanksgiving

Hey everyone! Happy Thanksgiving! Aaron, Thomas and I went to a district Thanksgiving party so thankfully I didn't have to cook a turkey! It wasn't a very fun party as Aaron had a headache the whole time. Thomas seemed to have fun, though. We wandered around the school halls, where the party was being held, and eventually ended up outside where we were able to visit with a couple of dogs. Thomas was overly excited about the dogs and the big ones excited jumping made Thomas giggle, squirm, and run a ways away before coming immediatly back to view the dog some more.
Eventually we had to leave the dogs and Thomas was not a happy camper. But he brightened up when he saw all the kids at the district party playing with frizbees and balls. We let him play for a bit before we headed home. All in all with chasing Thomas all over the place and eating turkey I wasn't able to get pictures in. Sorry! I'll do better for Christmas.

Well I had my first Dr's apt today and here are some pictures we got of our little alien! For some reason both Thomas and this baby looked like aliens. I've seen ultrasound babies who don't look like aliens but I guess Aaron just makes them all alien looking. BTW the Dr. and the Nurse both think this baby's a boy, they're not positive but they were pretty sure they saw a "hot dog", as they put it, in many of the positions they looked at the baby in. Right anyway. Wish you're all doing well!

Murder Mystery Dinner

I went to a murder mystery dinner as a Librarian/Detective. I was most proud of my glasses. I had gone to a glasses store to see how much frames and a chain would cost. I picked them out and she told me the price. My jaw dropped it was over $100 for just the frames and the chain. I thought I'd ask just in case, how much the frames cost, over $80. There was no chance I was going to get those for just a costume. So I inspected the chain and knew what I needed to do.

Going into the P.X. I searched for secretarial looking sunglasses, then I bought a plain gold chain to match, last I went to the hair section and bought mini rubber bands. When I got home I fashioned my glasses. Still proud of how they turned out.

Then I couldn't help myself. After the party I placed the glasses on Thomas and it was just so funny I couldn't help but laugh at it. So, I included pictures of Thomas wearing my glasses!

Happy Halloween

Today was Halloween for us! We enjoyed carving a pumpkin, Thomas didn't want to touch the goop inside the pumpkin at all. When he got some on his chest he grumped wanting the stuff off of him. It was funny!

We then dressed up for halloween. I had made Thomas's monkey costume and he had fun holding the tail almost the whole night. Aaron was a monk and I was a Key! It was Karen's idea that I be a Key. We all thought it was a funny idea!

Thomas went trick or treating with Aaron. They weren't gone long and when they returned Aaron and Thomas sat down next to me in the downstairs lobby to pass out candy. We soon discovered that Thomas took great pleasure in taking candy out of the bowl and putting it in other children's bags. We had a blast letting him hand out candy and we got many comments about how cute he was!
We stayed downstairs until almost all our candy was gone then we headed back upstairs where Thomas almost immediatly fell asleep and Aaron soon afterwards. Now I'm just letting you all know how Thomas's first trick or treating went and then I'll be off to bed!

Love ya'll hope you tell me how your trick or treating goes!

Just so that people know I found out this week that I'm pregnant.

Fun with bandana's

So, I was getting dressed in my room when Thomas came up to me and wanted to play with the things on my dresser. One of them was a bandana. So I strapped the bandana on his head and told him to go show daddy. Off he went, like a rocket, to show daddy. Aaron thought it was the best thing ever and got the camera out and took picutres. So here's our little hippie boy.

For family home evening that same day we colored on pieces of paper Aaron thought the crayons were a good tool to use on Thomas's diaper. Thus the diaper shot.

Today Thomas helped me put away dishes.
He often gets in my dishwasher and plays with the silverware and it got me thinking. The next time I did dishes I set up a stepping stool next to the silverware drawer. After showing him what to do he got eagerly to work. Taking one piece of silverware from the dishwasher at a time he would step up on the stool and place it in the drawer.
I had to fix the drawer afterwards but I didn't mind. I was able to finish putting away dishes from the top part of the dishwasher by the time he finished. And when I started putting away the plates he insisted on helping. So, one by one he would pull out plates and I would put them away. Next the pans and any other things on the bottom of the dishwasher. Needless to say, we both had fun!
