October

It was here and just kind of flew by! Work was faint, My hours are not there, so I get to be home more. Which I love, but I miss the extra money. The kids are growing so fast. Football and Soccer are over for the year, THANK GOD! It seemed like we were at the ball field every day since April. Dylan had a football tournament yesterday. It was so cold, like 40 degrees and rain. We were soaked. Hayden and Braeleigh were not handling the cold at all so Nick took them home. Poor Dylan was crying after his first game, he was too cold and wanted to quit, but he toughed it out. He got a touchdown in his 3rd game. He did such a good job! The family all came up and we went to dinner afterwards.
We are getting geared up for Halloween. I can't wait to see the kids actually IN there costumes. Dylan is being Heat Blaster from Ben 10, Hayden is being a monster, and Braeleigh a butterfly. I will be sure to post pics then!

October?

Is it even possible? It's really October? Fall is in full swing here in Michigan. The leaves are changing and falling, allergies are here, and it's cold! We had to break down and turn our heat on last week, We couldn't have cold babies. We have survived the first month of school. Dylan seems to be quite the little chatterbox. I wouldn't know where he gets that from though :) He is doing great on all of his work though, so that's good. He finally just lost his first tooth. After watching all of his friends losing them the past 2 years, he was begging to lose his own. Even told me he wasn't going to brush his teeth so they would fall out. After hours of working at it, I got it out.


The tooth fairy was nice to him, he got $10. Now he's insisting I take him to Toys R Us. The little busy bee is also still playing Soccer and Football. He plays Soccer Monday nights, he has to miss it on Wednesdays because of football. He's is such a good soccer player. His coach even asked us if we can try to make it on Wednesday's because they never win on days he isn't there. It's nice to hear such positive things about your children. In football, hes so little the kids plow him over. Nick says hes finally toughening(Is this even a word?) up and fighting back. Almost all the kids are 7 and 8, so hes a younger one on the team, but he is loving it. They are wearing all pads, it makes him look so dark big :(

Our little princess is growing right up too. She had her 4 month well baby visit last week. She's up to 15lbs now and 27 inches long. Just like with the boys, they had to measure her a few times because she is so long. Sadly, I am sure all 3 will pass me up in height in no time. We had some concerns with her having acid reflux, wel now she spits up a lot, so I asked. Instead of just assuming she has it and medicating her, her pediatrician would like to know for sure. So she is getting an upper G.I done and an ultrasound on her belly. Hopefully everything will go ok and we can make her feel better. She's also teething hard core. My boys were never cranky when teething, except Dylan always got ear infections when he got a tooth so we had to deal with that instead. But she just screams and nothing consoles her :( She also started rolling both ways now. Shes been rolling back to belly for so long she now can go belly to back as well, so keeping her in 1 spot for long is nearing impossible. I do not know what I will do with 2 mobile babies.
So any how, Happy October to us! We have a busy month ahead, so I should have more to write about soon.
