Music Man

Olivia opted to act in the school musical this year- after the experience she says she was happiest last year when she just worked the tech end and that is what she will do next year. On opening night I was so excited to see her! I think, despite the stress and given all the time she put into it she was happy with the overall production! Of course everyone is always over critical of their work, but I was very impressed. I think that for a high school production it was fabulousness!



Of course we are biased


Olivia was great up there- I was really proud


I'll be sad next year when she has a "behind the scenes" role. I really enjoyed watching her up on the big stage!

Savanna 14

Savannas birthday has come and gone, she is now 14! Hard to believe I know- and you might not have guessed based on her choice of Chuck-E-Cheese for her "friend" party... But it's true- 14 she is!


She and Delainy spent a Saturday afternoon playing arcade games and eating pizza at Chuck-E-Cheese with their "boy" friends- well Delainy's boyfriend John and their guy friend Travis. They had fun and were sad when the afternoon ended!


Of course savanna had her "family" party too. Spaghetti and meatballs and cake and icecream! Yumm! I love the look of joy on Wyatt's face when the cake showed up! He tried to blow out her candles. It was really cute.


As part of her gift I tool her shopping- she didn't get much, but KeKe went with us and we went out to dinner too. It was a nice way to end the birthday week!


Another trip around the sun- what a joy to be a part of!

My Favorite Face

Wyatt makes this funny face. It kills me every time. I think it is supposed to be a pout, but he just looks like a little gorilla baby to me! It's my favorite face





And, Clearly my children need more clothes. Why is Wyatt naked in both of these pictures?!

Halloween

We had a fun Halloween this year. We had a number of events to go to, so we got a lot of use out of our costumes! Billy and the Boy Scouts ran the haunted hallway at the school party. Of course I didn't get a picture of his zombie costume that evening, but Wes and Wyatt played the games in the school gym and got their first load of candy! Wes was a bit shy at first, but Wyatt understood the idea pretty quick... Grab as much candy as you can as fast as you can!


Wyatt wore the hand-me-down dragon and Wes was a "green ninja"


We trick-or-treated with Ali and Delainy. Billy was a banana


Savanna was a boy (since we said she couldn't be a "pimp". If you are old enough to think that's funny you shouldn't be out asking for candy. Geeze) Delainy was "candy" and Ali, well I'm not sure what she was! Some sort of Halloween themed girl. Olivia went out with friends in York and had a great time.


Today on the actual Halloween day Wes had a parade at school. The class was adorable. Wes' shoe came off during the marching. It was awful cute.



We also dressed back up and went to grandma and grandpa Houston's this evening since we missed them last night. Wyatt is very fixated on his pumpkin of candy. I'm not sure how long it will last. I'm already tired of his whining for it. It just might have to disappear sooner rather than later!

Waiting For Grandma Beth

Grandma Beth was coming over with some Halloween treats. Despite it being pretty chilly Wes wanted to wait for her outside. He insisted he wasn't cold and made it 10 minutes or so, which is a long time for Wes to do anything. It wasn't very long after he came in that she arrived... I was sorry she didn't get to see him. He sure was cute sitting out there waiting for Grandma Beth

Getting Dressed

One day I laid out the boys clothes in the living room as I was going out the door. I asked Wes to be helpful and get himself dressed, and said if he did it he could use my iPad. Well, after I left Savanna came into the room and found this:


He indeed had gotten dressed, but entirely in Wyatt's clothing! Silly guy. For the record, at 3.5 he is a 3t bottom and a 4t top, Wyatt is 16 months and in 18month clothing. Wyatt is about 23 lbs and Wes 32. I guess it's good to know that in a pinch they could share!
