Halloween

We got a few decorations up in the front. Last year our neighborhood was like a festival on Halloween, but this year it was really quiet. We had TONS of leftover candy.

Evan wanted to go walking around the neighborhood and look for dogs.

Connor figured out what Halloween was about and that his pumpkin was empty and that needed to be fixed. We didn't go to very many houses...they had enough candy from Dave's office.

Passing out candy out front..or eating candy. Connor wasn't very helpful with passing out the candy. He'd run up to our bowl and put his hand on it and stare at the kids.

Connor's class...notice everyone else dressed up!

This week has been kind of rough since I haven't been feeling too hot. Today is the end of the 1st trimester though so hopefully things will start looking up. We have an ultrasound on Tues.

Evan is growing and changing everyday. He is completely obsessed with dogs and Elmo..which seems to be the average one year old obsession. He is a pretty competent walker and loves to follow his brother out to the play set to play in the dirt and sand. He likes to help me vacuum which is extremely annoying. He gets his vacuum and stands right where I'm trying to vacuum and he pushes his little vacuum back and forth as fast as he can. He's been working on this 5th tooth for a week now. It's just sitting there causing pain but not coming through.

Evan goes right to bed at night which is awesome since his brother does not. But he tends to wake up a few times in the night. I know this because you can hear him play with Elmo through the monitor at 2:30am! He also likes to turn on his aquarium and generally find anything he can that will make noise just long enough to wake me up so I have trouble getting back to sleep!

Connor still loves letters and is working on sounds now. He follows directions if he feels like it and his teacher says he's really starting to open up and participate in class. He runs right into his classroom now and I never hear anything negative about not wanting to go to school. He's getting so big!
