Seth has a new best friend

seth spends a lot of time outside now that it isn't so hot. he likes to ride his scooter and push his toy lawn mower around. lately we will be outside and he will wander off to the neighbors house to visit his new best friend. he is a pretty good natured friend. he is very rarely busy so he lets seth play with him anytime he wants. they play well together unless his friend is under the car. that really frustrates seth because he doesn't fit under the car.

Horsley Boys take Halloween

This year Noah declared that he didn't want to dress up for Halloween. However, with the threat of not getting any candy at all (not even being able to eat what I had at home) if he didn't dress up he decided to suffer through it for an hour at the Dick's Market Trunk or Treat.

Noah is Anekin Skywalker
Adam is an X-ray Skeleton
Seth is Bob the Builder

After that we walked around to some of our neighbors in the rain and that was all I got from Noah. The rain was a dealbreaker. Seth LOVED it once he figured out what we were doing. He giggled as he walked up to the homes. It was really cute. Adam enjoyed it as well, as long as he didn't get any DOTS. That was bad ):

Favorite Candies for this year:
Noah: 3 Musketeers
Adam: Reeses Peanut Butter Cups
Seth:  Smarties
Me:  Twix
Ben:  Butterfinger

Now I can thrust Halloween out of my mind and put up my Christmas tree!

Should I be nervous about this?

Both Noah and Adam have a box in their room where they keep trinkets and other special things. They call them their "special boxes". Honestly I am such an anti-clutter freak that I started these boxes because I had thrown away a lot of things that they really wanted to keep. So, I tell them that I can't tell if it means anything to you unless it is in your special box. So, the other day Adam with digging through his box and playing with things and reminiscing about his special things. He found a self portrait that he had done when he was 3. He pulled it out, examined it carefully, made a disgusted face, and brought it over to me. He says,"Mom, can you throw this picture of me away. I don't want it any more. It makes me look fat."
He hands me this picture and walks back over to his box. Should I be worried??

FINALLY!! Jazz season is upon us

We are sharing season tickets with my parents and 2 sisters this season. It has been fun so far to go to the pre-season games, but last night was truly disheartening. The Jazz played their first home game of the season and got spanked. Hopefully they will do well this year and play Haywood a lot because he is my new BTW and I'm his biggest fan!

GO JAZZ!!!!

C'est La vie

I don't mean to complain....but I absolutely hate when my kids pour an entire bottle of kid shampoo into the bath water. Then it takes 2 days to rinse them off, and 3 more days to rinse out the tub! Am I the only mom that this happens to? Am I the only mom who it bothers? Well, c'est la vie, off the to store to buy some more kid shampoo.

"B" is for bubble bath

I know that he wont appreciate this in 5 years, but these pictures of Seth are so adorable that I had to post them. He absolutely loves the bath and has discovered that he can lay down in the water and it makes everything sound funny. I just can't get enough of this kid...he's so cute!

I think he is part fish

Cheese!
