Weekend Update

We enjoyed a nice low key weekend at home. Saturday was errands in the morning and a day of college football (Tech won, so our house was happy). Nino and some friends came over, so Blake and Easton had Geneva, Jerimiah, and Jayson to play with. (PS-I've discovered that Blake's sharing issue has to do with boys... She has a hard time playing with Santi, and she acted the same with Jerimiah... but at the park tonight, she had no problem sharing her most prized possession, her doll, with a complete stranger of a little girl. I was so proud of the sharing!! She also comes home everyday from MDO saying she wouldn't play with the boys.)

On that same page, Blake is getting wonderful reports from her teachers at MDO. She is excited to get to go to school, always asking if it's time yet, and this morning she told me as we were walking in that she just needed a hug and kiss and that she would see me later. Back at home, she's been singing a song she learned about "a-a-apple, a-a-a" (something like that). I'm so glad she's doing better.

Easton and I enjoyed a relaxing day at home today, after getting our flu shots this morning. He was congested/runny nosed over the weekend with very rough nights. Like I mentioned, he is currently working on his 6th tooth, so teething has been pretty constant lately. I guess he just wants to get all his teeth in at the same time and get it over with.

And just for a funny, we've been talking about Halloween costumes, trying to figure out what to dress up as. Blake told us the other day she wanted to be a pumpkin. So now when we talk about it, it comes out as, "do you still want to be a pumpkin? how about...?(and we talk about different options) Anyway, tonight she told us she wanted to be a "still pumpkin." Isn't that funny?! I wanted to laugh at the cuteness, but didn't want to embarrass her, so I held it. Tim didn't know what a steel pumpkin was, but she took the "still" and added it to the pumpkin since that's how we've been phrasing it. Too cute!
