Friday fun!

My most awesome friend Aubrey does posts on Friday that are funny, confusing, or sometimes thought provoking. She posts them on Friday to help get ready for the weekend. I am going to follow in her footsteps and maybe together we can make each other, and you laugh.

Here's my first attempt, thanks Ben:

Noah and the sweater

I have told some of you this story, but it really makes me laugh. It will come to life when you see the picture. As I am pulling out newborn baby clothes and blankets to wash to prepare for the baby I am pulling out boxes of winter clothes for Adam and Seth. I get to one for Seth and pulled out this really cute sweater and said to Noah, "Oh, Noah I remember buying this sweater for you when you were Seths' age. I love this sweater." I go about my washing and sorting and a few minutes later Noah comes running in the room yelling, "Mom, Mom, it fits, it still fits!!" I turn around and this is what I see. Uhhhhhh, ok son!

45 days later...

You may be asking yourself where I have been...well I have had quite a list of things to do the last 45 days. First and foremost...we bought a new home in Centerville and moved. We feel really blessed to be here. It was truly a miracle that we were able to find the home and go through the whole process only to fund the loan in 3 weeks. I feel like we are meant to be here and we love it. Here are some pictures of moving day, and the house. Thanks to everyone who helped us move...there were a ton of you. I especially appreciate it being 8 months pregnant.

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??
