Halloween and other fall fun







I was hoping to sit down and give a big update about all the goings on around here during my morning when the kids are at school. Instead, I did laundry, dishes, actually took a real shower and guess what?, it's time to pick up Dylan. Oh well, atleast all the chores are done! The boys are liking school and I am starting to enjoy my few hours a week of quiet work time. Colter started hockey on Wed. It is so cute and he is loving it. He had never been on hockey skates before and couldn't even stand up at the beginning of practice. He had a wonderful attitude, a great team of coaches and lots of padding---by the end of practice he was skating by himself with his hockey stick. He laughed, smiled and joked with the coaches the entire time and was very proud of himself at the end. I love seeing him learn things and have such a great attitude! The next morning he wanted to go skate some more and practice to surprise his coaches at the next practice. By the end of that session, he was skating and then sliding across the ice on his belly just like the big kids were the day before. Very funny. Dylan also wanted to "play hockey" when we went to the open skate session and it was hilarious! He looked like Bambi out there trying to stand up. He had a walker and his legs were moving non stop trying to run across the ice! He laughed so hard he fell over several times- and he was trying to slide across the ice like Colter. So far being a hockey mom is fun, guess Trevor and I will have to get some skates and try it out! Star Wars Halloween was great. It was chilly, but not freezing for Trick or Treating and freezing for the parade. We had a great time and are still dealing with the candy----couldn't we all start a fun tradition of giving out something remotely healthy??
Off to get Dylan for naptime...
