I love my brother!

Thank goodness for little brothers
They are special as can be
Don't mess with my little brother
Or you'll have to deal with me.

Mr. Smiley

Ben has hit another milestone... He is smiling now all the time. It used to take me coaxing (bssically trying anything) a bit to get a smile. Now he starts smiling as soon as he sees me. I love it!! (excuse the proud mama) Of course, he is probably thinking here comes the lady with the food, whatever, I'll take it.

Choo Choo Man?

This morning I was woken up by the sound of Ethan starting to throw up. Every mom out there knows that sound. I immediately woke up from a deep sleep and caught the the disgusting mess in my hand. (Talk about reflexes) Well, Ethan was upset and refused to wear any new pj's, except for the Thomas the Train pj's that he had just thrown up in. Well I managed to find a thomas t'shirt and he calmed down, for about 5 minutes. Then he threw up again. All of his other train t-shirts were in the laundry and I began to panic at the thought of no more sleep because of a sick unhappy 2 yr old. I ran into his room and grabbed a superman pajama shirt and red pajama pants praying that he would accept these. I could tell by his face it might be a battle, but then I was saved by Emily. Emily (who had woken up in the comotion) said cool Ethan you are going to be superman. "NO, Choo Choo Man" he said proudly and proceeded to let me put on the pj's, much to my delight. Then the "sick" little boy grabbed a bag of wipes from the bed and flung them across the room as he raised his arms and yelled powerfully. Sick huh? Then he started jumping up and down on the bed to show me he could fly. So much for keeping a 2 year old choo choo man in bed.

Halloween Fun!

The last few days have been busy and fun. On Tuesday, my friend Michelle had a halloween party for the kids (and grownups) We all had a good time, and the food was great! Which is probably why, when I looked back at the pictures that I took, it was only of food. Not that interesting to put up. So sorry Michelle, I didn't post any pictures of the food at your party. ;)

Last night we had a few friends and family over to trick or treat with us. We had fun eating and getting candy and dancing all together! Alicia and Connor were really getting down! Afterward the trick or treating we ate some more and then fell into bed as our sugar highs came to an end!
