This post is really overdue! So sorry but with me being near the end of my pregnancy there doesn't seem to be enough time or energy at the end of the day. I am actually writing this at 4:10am as I CAN'T SLEEP! Eventhough EVERYTHING within me wants to... my body just won't. This makes me very sad. And very very tired.
So to catch up on the last few weeks! Just to make it fun, we'll start backwards with last night.
Last night was Halloween and the kids have been picking their costumes from my newspaper ads for the last month - I am not exaggerating this time. Seriously - they carry the papers with them until they are falling apart. So around the 20th of the month, I went to good ole' Walmart and rustled up the last Darth Vader (in a medium - because my boy Braden has gone through a recent growth spurt) and a small IRONMAN for Rylan. You would have thought I was Ironman when I came home with those costumes - Rylan especially was so excited. In his "high little voice" he said " you got me my costume momma?" (with his little hands clasped together) "thank you!!!!". After that point, he wore that costume day and night for THREE DAYS STRAIGHT before I could get it off his tiny little body to wash it. Every time we meet or see someone he doesn't know, for that matter, he would proudly telling them that he was Ironman and Braden was Darth Vader. Which usually resulted in me having to explain because some people just don't speak or follow three year old lingo...
Travis being the coolest dad EVER created his costume this year and well.... Let me just show you because there are no words to describe his creative abilities.
My children LITERALLY chant "who's the best daddy ever?" and then simulanteously will shout "he is!!!" and point at Trav. CUTEST THING EVER. LOVE LOVE LOVE it.
Last night our poor kids trick or treating was stretched out to a TWO HOUR event because everyone in the neighborhood had to stop and take pictures with LEGOMAN. Some of the phrases I heard over the evening was "that's totally the best costume ever", "dude, check out the Lego-cop", "that's the best costume I have seen in FIVE YEARS" (not six mind you, just five).
One lady thought Travis was a kid - I am laughing as I am typing this - and asked why he didn't want some candy!!! WHAHAHAHA. I then had to explain it was my husband! BAHAHA. He couldn't see very well and took out one of our neighborhood children with his styrofoam hand to which I heard him call to me in a panic, "Hun, I think I just hit a child". No child was hurt or even phased for that matter but it was completely hilarious. I WISH YOU COULD HAVE BEEN THERE! Rylan towards the end of the night was saying "Mommy, can we PUH-LEZ go home now? My legs are weally weally tired". They had VERY full treat bags and were on a sugar high for the rest of the evening.
Last weekend was super fun and filled with so many good things - we had my baby shower that my bestie Steph threw for me. It was adorable. I am so excited to post pics once I get them from her... Christian is going to be one spoiled little man for sure :)
We also went to the traditional pumpkin patch again this year. I can't get over how big the boys are getting. They had a blast - here's some pics of the day.
And the week prior to that our biggest announcement is that Braden Matthew Palmer FINALLY lost his first tooth on October 14th at 4:30 pm! Rylan did NOT like this. He absolutely WIGGED OUT seeing Braden's missing tooth. Braden and I had a good laugh about this for awhile. He was super excited to see what the toothfairy was going to bring him that night and I must say, we have the coolest toothfairy that comes to our house. She managed to have a $2 dollar bill handy for the special occasion. In the morning, when I asked Braden about his special dollar - that he wanted to use to buy lunch at school with... - he announced that John McCain was on the dollar. I laughed about this all day long.
He's so funny. I lub him.
