Falling Back

Whoever created the daylight savings ritual must of been a man... or never had kids. My guys were up bright and early this morning.

Halloween was a fun filled week long party. Celebrating with John's school, our Mom's club, and Shane's bouncearama class and then there was trick or treating at three different times. The boys loved it and Mommy and Daddy need to find a place to donate all this Halloween candy too before we go into a sugar coma.



John is enjoying school this year and is really shocking us by what he is learning. Well we have always known him to be a little smart for his own good, but its nice to see him actually focusing. He can now spell his name, all the colors and is slowing moving into site words. Pretty soon Brian and I are going to have to start spelling things we don't want them to know in pig latin since this boy is spelling so much already. John loves enjoying time with his friends these days. He is always asking who we are going to see and what we have planned for the week. This boy is in love with every toy on every commercial. They are really hitting it hard this pre-holiday season with the toy commercials. I hear all day long "I want that!", "Mom, check that out". I think its time he learn to be grateful for what he has and try to get him to realize how lucky he is. John also knows that he is going to be FIVE soon and he knows that turning FIVE is going to make mommy cry (because I tell him that every day! I just can't believe my little blue eyed boy will be FIVE) so he told me he is going to get all the food out of his body so he can shrink a little. Thanks bud ;)



Shane has blossomed so much since having his tubes put in his ears. He talks non stop...all day long. I just stare at him in awe. He is my little terror but has such a sweet side (when he wants to). He idolizes his big brother and wants to do everything he does. On school mornings we have to pack his backpack and lunch too... because I get "I go to scool too mom and see my fwends". There are a few kids in John's class that Shane has taken a liking too. Shane is more into the social aspect...that should be interesting in the years to come.

My two little tornado's rip roar through the house building forts, racing cars, building castles with legos, playing playdoh and destroying all along the way. I need a cleaning fairy...please.

Both Brian and I are trying to enjoy this time with them while they are young, as we can't believe how fast they have grown already. We are enjoying nightly wrestling matches with Dadda, playing games and reading books with Momma. I just wish we could freeze time as it is quickly flying by.
