Where have I been?????
Okay--sorry! Has it really been two months since I posted to my blog--wow!! I thought I'd get in a quick post before the year ends and update you all on what we've been doing the past couple of months.
We had a wonderful time trick-or-treating on Halloween with Michael's best buddy, Jacob Iannace. Originally Michael was planning on being "Thomas the Tank Engine" and we had the costume. I went to the store to purchase a costume for Cal and Michael saw the chicken costume and it was meant to be. If I'd had a little more time, I would have tried to fashion some sort of "egg" costume for Cal, but the Woody worked out great for him--he even wore the hat for quite some time. Of course, you can't really count on the weather to be even slightly cold here in October, so we were really surprised that Michael didn't pass out from heat stroke all bundled up in all the chicken fur (feathers) that comprised his costume. Anyway--it was fun!
We traveled to three states during a two week period around Thanksgiving--NC, NJ, and AL. We got to see almost our entire family on both sides and the kids had an absolute ball with their cousins. After Thanksgiving, Michael stayed at his Nana's house all my himself for a week. They made a mansion of a gingerbread house, played on tractors, loaders, and concrete trucks, and of course, Michael got undivided attention and also a "yes" to practically everything he could come up with that he wanted to do. That's what grandmothers are for, right? It made for a difficult couple of days when he got home and had to share me with Cal and all the other household duties that make up my day--but we all recovered!!
We had Christmas at our house twice this year. We celebrated with Chris's mom and dad the weekend before and then my parents, grandparents and aunt came down for Christmas. Santa dropped off a big boy bike for Michael and a kitchen for Cal. We had Michael's bday party the weekend before Christmas with a few friends--I can't believe I have a 4-year-old in my house!
Now we're looking forward to Cal's 2nd bday in January--he's decided he is a big boy now by starting to climb out of his crib and also climb on everything else. So, we turned Cal's crib into a toddler bed the day after Christmas and he's good to go--he loves climbing in and laying his head on his pillow!
Hope everyone has a Happy New Year. It's almost 10pm on New Year's Eve and I'm not even sure I'll make it until midnight :-)
