Keep on Scrollin'

So, I have pretty much neglected my blog for the past few months, so I thought I would get on and at least put up pictures of CJ's birthday and Halloween.


We have been keeping ourselves busy around here. B is still in love with school. He told me today, though, that he might be almost done because he has almost learned everything. Cute.

CJ and I like to hang out together. He loves to run around the house and get into B's things. Every day he tells me "Santa is coming tonight." The poor kid has no sense of time. At least he isn't telling me, "Tomorrow, we are going to Disneyland!" That is almost 5 months away, and he talks about it daily. Can you blame him? I'm pretty excited myself.

On Fridays, we go to the Parent/Child tumbling class at The Sports Academy. He absolutely loves it! He calls it his "school." For the most part, he just runs and jumps into the big mats, and bounces around on the trampolines. He is getting good at certain gymnastic moves like the Pike, V-sit, and his absolute favorite-Tabletop. That is when you lay on your back, and push up off the ground with your arms and legs to make your belly look like a table. He has mastered that one! Here are some pics of him at class:

Halloween!!

This year was a great Halloween, mostly because there was no snow! For the first time in a long time, I wasn't worried about the kids getting frozen! We started off by going to Boo at the Zoo at Willow Park. The kids wore their costumes, and B got lots of second looks because of his mask. It was so lifelike, it was eerie!

Christopher and B picked out their own costumes. B was Anakin Skywalker from his favorite cartoon, Star Wars the Clone Wars. I even caved in and got him a lightsabre. CJ picked out a costume called "Skelebones." It was so cute, but just slightly too small for him. The front of the costume looked great, but he had a wedgie in the back. He would not let us talk him into a different costume, despite the way it fit.

The boys headed out to trick or treat with a rocky start. B had a tantrum over the bags, and wanted the one CJ had. Because of all the crying and arguing, we never got a picture of him in full costume. Needless to say, he pouted and cried for a while, and then got over it when we started to leave without him. After hitting a few houses, he cheered up and got into the spirit of things.

The kids got quite a bit of candy, for only going to our subdivision. This is the first year that I actually ran out of stuff too, and I had over 120 items to give out! I started raiding our pantry and gave out fruit roll ups for a while until I finally turned the lights out.

CJ's 3rd birthday

My little man-let's face it, he has never really been very little-turned 3! He had only one request for me: He wanted a pinata, just like B's. He always wants the same things B has, so I was not surprised. This is the first year that I had a friend party for him. We all gathered at the Fun Park to play in the softplay area, and then headed back to our house for the ever-important pinata. I think he liked it more than getting his gifts!

We also had a family party for him that was well attended. He always gets spoiled, and this year was no exception. I do think that this is the first year, though, that B has wanted to play with all of his gifts. Happy Birthday CJ!
