Daddy's Coming Home!
That's right! Chris will be home tonight! I remember when he left, thinking 2 months would be SOOOOOOO long. Believe it or not, it's gone pretty fast. It helps that we've kept pretty busy, thanks to school, soccer, and some wonderful grandparents and friends who have had dinners and play dates with us (thanks Jess and Kristi :)!). So, needless to say we are very excited. Every morning this week, the first thing Caden has said (as soon as he comes out of his room when he wakes up) is "How many more days Mommy?". And when I asked Caleb this morning what we were doing tonight, he said "Daddy!" with a huge smile. Then he said "Airplane come down with Daddy". It's hard to believe it's here! I can't wait!

Halloween
This year was a busy Halloween for us!
Wednesday night we visited a friends' house who put up Halloween villages from Department 56-a brave thing with small children! They were amazing! It takes a lot of time to do that.
Then, we made our way to a Fall Carnival at another friends' house, as part of their weekly Bible study. Caden had to be Batman and Caleb a frog, even though I bought them other costumes. Caden found a Batman pajama shirt with a cape in the dress up clothes, and got a mask after one of his soccer games, and just had to be that. And Caleb found his frog costume with his stuffed animals and (since frogs are his absolute favorite-he is always "hop, hop, hop"ing around) had to be that. We compromised, knowing they'd have time to wear the ones I bought.
Then on Friday we went to a friend's birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese, and everyone got to dress up for that. This time they wanted to be the pirates I bought (but Caden is Captain Hook-see the hook!). Then that night we headed to another friends' house for some nice soups and chiles ("Mummy" dogs for the kiddos), then out for Trick or Treating. Caden had a wonderfu time with his friends. Every time they went to a door they said, "Trick or Treat, smell my feet" then "Thank you and Happy Halloween" after they got their candy. Caleb was a trooper and walked almost the whole way (we were gone an hour) and didn't want any help with his bag that was almost as big as him. If I tried to help, he would say, "No, mine mommy!". All of the kids had such a great time. I, on the other hand, am still exhausted!
