Sticker boy

Nathan just loves stickers. He takes them off the sheet and puts them on his shirt, one on top of the other.

I did it!!

While Bob was on his two week trip to the orient, I went to Candler Park's Fall Fest and talked to some folks with the Operation Bootcamp Program. Well, I was feeling motiviated and signed up ... I mean it started at 6am and I could get back before the kids got up, so why not!

Today I graduated from bootcamp!! Four weeks of intense workouts. The first two days were brutal, and I had to take aspirin to make it. It wasn't easy, but I did it and I am very proud of myself!

Hoo wah!

"The moon is following us ...

... and I think it's on wheels."

Driving home tonight from dinner it was dark and there was a moon out that Colin thought was chasing us.

Voice from above

The day after the sandbox/tree house was installed, Colin and Nathan were out playing in it, and I was inside the house cleaning up. I had the window above the sink open so I could keep tabs on them while I was inside.

I heard some commotion and then saw Colin grab something out of Nathan's hand. So I hollered out the window at Colin. The look on Colin's face was priceless, he was busted, but he was more bewildered than anything else! He looked up and said, "Who was that?"

I nearly busted a gut laughing.

Wow -- 100 posts!

I've actually manage to keep up with this blog and reach the 100 mark! And I have Sheila to thank for this, unfortunately she had to delete her blog as a result of potentional legal actions. Aren't ex-husbands just the greatest -- NOT!

So here's to my blog about the boys and an occassional blurb about me and my thoughts.

Nathan's grocery store nap

After Colin went to school, Nathan and I headed to the grocery store to pick up a couple items. While I was shopping, Nathan looked very sleepy and his head kept bobbing. So I put my hand on his cheek, and Nathan just closed his eyes and went to sleep ... with me holding his head up! I had to finish shopping one-handed which was okay until I got to the big box of diapers that I was trying to maneuver under the cart with one hand. I did put Nathan on my shoulder to put the groceries on the conveyor, and as soon as I finished paying, Nathan woke up and was ready to go to Target! He managed to stay awake for that shopping trip.

Trick-or-treating

This is really the first year the we've taken the boys trick-or-treating. Last year, Colin was sick and fell asleep at 4pm for the night. The year before we went to a neighborhood party in Roswell Farms but no trick-or-treating (not that Colin would remember it or anything and Nathan was in my belly).

So this year we were invited to a little party at 5pm to eat pizza and then go trick-or-treating at 6ish. It was so much fun being part of a big group like that. Reminded me of my trick-or-treating days.

The best part was when we got to the third house and Colin looks at us with this wide-eyed expression and said, "Another house?", yes, "More candy?", yes, "Yeahhhhhh!" He was so excited. Nathan even got into the whole thing. Dressed as a tiger, when prompted Nathan would do the cutest little "roar"!

However, I knew it was time to call it a night when Colin wanted to hold Nathan's bag of candy for him, and then I found Colin depositing the candy into his own bag.
