Thomas

See I have been so busy I forgot to post about our trip to see Thomas the Train and Bob the Builder in Spencer NC the first weekend in October. Bricen and I went with April, Chloe, Donette and Rylan to see Thomas and Bob. We had a great time and the kids were a lot of fun. We had a lot of things to see and do and the last thing we did was ride Thomas at our designated time. Bricen had so much FUN! After we left the train museum we went to Concord Mills shopping. After shopping we went to find somewhere to eat and it was hard b/c a lot of resturants close at 10:00 and it was a few minutes after so we went through the Taco Bell drive through. We had so much fun on our Day Out With Thomas!

Orange Party Day!

All the kids in Bricen's class had to wear orange today. Every month they have two colors they talk about all month that they center activities around and this month was Orange and Yellow. (Bricen already knows his colors!) There are two days that they wear either yellow or orange and it was cool that today was orange for Halloween and they had an Orange Party as they called it. Bricen was so excited that they were having a party. The parents were able to go into the classroom at 10:45 to see the kids doing a craft. After that they had their snack. Everything was ORANGE! Orange plates, napkins, cheese doodles, pumpkin sugar cookie, oranges, and orange kool-aid in an orange pumpkin cup. After snack they went to the rug wear they sing and they had several songs that they had been learning that they sang for the parents. It was really cute! Chloe and Bricen gave everyone a really cute sandbucket with their name painted on it and everyone else in the class brought goodies and the teachers filled the buckets and they turned out so cute.

Spiderman

Well when it came time to take pictures on Saturday Bricen still did not want to wear the tiger costume. We sat down and had a little talk. He told me the tiger scared him and he didn't want to be the tiger. He is always acting like he is a tiger and everyone says oh you scared me. Then at night he will tell us there is a tiger in his room. So I guess he is really scared of the tiger. So I had already bought a spiderman costume for him to play with after halloween. Well I pulled it out and he got really excited and wanted to be spiderman. So here is my cute little spiderman. His face is just to cute to cover up with a mask too.

October

I just love this time of year! We have been so busy that I haven't gotten to blog a whole lot. So I am going to catch us up to the present. We had Bricen's soccer game Thursday night the 18th and as always it was so funny. Sage and Bricen would really be into the game and then they would be running around chasing each other. We have to reming ourselves they are just 2 and learning. This has been a good experience for Bricen. Hopefully by next year he will be a little more attentive. Friday afternoon Bricen and I ran around getting ready everything we needed for his Halloween party that we were having on Saturday. Saturday we got up and cleaned the house and we had Bricen's annual Halloween party from 3-5 PM. We had invited around 60 kids. Isn't that crazy? We only had about 25 come. We missed all our friends who didnt get to come but we had a lot of fun with the ones who came! Bricen would not dress up. I don't think he got his nap out and when he got up he was for sure not putting on his tiger costume. Which aggrevated me to death. I got over it!
After the party Amy was here to help me clean up while the kids enjoyed playing. Albert and Wes found a reason they needed to leave so they got back here around 7 and we had hotdogs for supper. The boys enjoyed playing while Marli took nap. We were all ready for bedtime. Sunday we went to church and then to Christopher's for lunch and then home for a good nap! After nap time Bricen and I went to Pineville shopping while Albert went to a church meeting.
This past week was a busy work week. We went to Wes and Amy's last night for pizza and the boys had so much fun playing. They are learning to play with each other with out fighting. Yes they didn't fight at all. We got home at 12:00 this morning. I was really surprised that my husband stayed out that late with Bricen but he was still going strong until we left. Then the crying started over everything. We went straight to bed when we got home and slept until 8:00. Bricen had a soccer game at 9:00 on the other side of York so we had to hurry. We came back home after the soccer game and while the boys ran errands I picked up from the mornings rush. They brought back Wendy's and after lunch Bricen and I took a nap while Albert worked on a 4-wheeler. Thats the story of his life. Always working on his or someone else's 4-wheeler. Now the boys have gone to the part start to get another part for the 4-wheeler.
I have not gotten one picture of Bricen in his tiger costume so that is my goal this afternoon once they get back. I normally send out a halloween card with his picture and I have been so busy I havent gotten that done. I hope to do that today and send my pictures to Target to the one hour photo center and we will go and pick them up tonight. My parents are going to keep Bricen tonight so Albert and I can go out on a date. Well that catches me up for the past 2 weeks. Pictures will hopefully follow soon.

Catch up and Weekend away!

We have been so busy! Last weekend we went to see Thomas the train at the N.C. Transportation Museum! Bricen had a blast. We went with April, Chloe, Donette and Rylan. We went to Concord Mills on the way home and got dinner at KFC/Taco Bell drive through. We have had such a busy week.
Yesterday was my birthday! I was 27 years old! We came to Georgia for the weekend. Wes, Amy, Albert and I. We are at Broad River ATV. We roasted hotdogs for supper and enjoyed hanging out and talking without yelling at kids. Albert has set up his inclosed trailer like a camper. It has heat and air. So we slept in there last night. Pressley came down for the day and we have had so much fun. We left the kids at home with the grandparents. We never get to do this and we are having so much fun. We slept late, ate breakfast and headed off for a nice ride. Then we came back for lunch. After lunch Amy and I took a nice nap. The guys headed off for some guy time and they came back covered in MUD. They picked us up and we rode with them rather than driving ourselves. We are back at the trailer and Amy and I are about to go get showers. Then we will enjoy our chili that we have in the crockpot and play some games while we relax. More to come of our great weekend!
