Friday after school the boys were playing a little football...a power ranger with a helmet and Cal wearing an army helmet... never dull around here!
Eddie took Cal to the fair Friday afternoon. They like to go see the monster truck show and demolition derby and that is just more than Andy can take. So Andy and I stayed back and went to the club for Andy to do Kids Club! All the kids wore uniforms and he was excited to wear his power rangers out of the house. He originally tied on a Jake Pirate bandana...
And then switched to a spiderman mask... He couldn't find the power rander mask and thought spidey was the next best thing. (I love this picture below...he looks so much like Cal....sitting and playing football guys...something he rarely gets to do with Cal around...)
All set to head into the club!
He was all smiles at pick up too-- he had a big time!!!
He is not the only one who had a big time!
Eddie and I texted pictures back and forth to each other of what we were doing (we are weird like that...?).
Cal rode the big super slide....
....and ate some corn.....
...and some cotton candy.....
And then this happened on the way home...
Everyone had a HUGE night and Andy was thrilled he didn't have to go listen to the loud noises.
Saturday morning we had a soccer game and it was a BEAUTIFUL morning! Both boys had a blast playing-- and Andy got into too. He is pretty hit or miss at games. Usually if he gets a taste of the ball, he will do pretty well for the rest of the game. But if he is slow to get the ball, or he just isn't feeling it, he just kind of stands in the middle of the field...not doing much. But this week, he did great! I was proud of him! And of course, Cal loves it and plays hard. He has the best time playing with his friends. He could stay out there for hours playing and never get bored.
I loved this picture with a bunch of toe heads:
Saturday night, we had a Halloween party...which means COSTUMES!
In case you can't tell, I was a pinata and Eddie was Uncle Sy (no clue how to spell his name).
Our babysitter took the pics and then the boys ran in to get in the shot too- ha! Andy wanted a costume on too...
The party was SO much fun and everyone was very "into" dressing up. Costume parties are only fun when everyone gets excited and into it. The boys were all SUPER on board, which made it even more fun!
I took about 300 pictures at the party. Seriously. I was enjoying myself! There were some GREAT costumes there!
When scrolling through the pictures from the night, there are about 80 of me and Sally. In some we are smiling, in most we are making stupid faces. I love them all...and I crack up each time I look at them!
I made my costume, and Sara, the loofah, made hers as well! I took pictures as I made mine so I might to a post on how I made it...if for no other reason than just for me to remember in the future!
The three of us met in play group when our boys were all about 3 months old....and now they are all FIVE!!!! Love them...
We had a big time Saturday night. And I do mean BIG time. But, it's funny...the boys DO NOT CARE if we have a big time or not-- they are up and ready to go EARLY. Here they are, playing tackle football in the driveway at 6:30am. They were up before this, but I wouldn't let them go out until we could see the sun. Eddie apparently had a really REALLY big time because he slept in and then took an immediate nap on the couch. I wasn't bitter at all! hahahaha
The country club has a big Fall Fest every year and for whatever reason, this was the first year we were able to attend. The boys had a BLAST! There are a ton of bounce houses and gigantic slides and more fun than they could know what to do with!
We were there for a few hours and then headed home for a quick change so Cal and I could head to swim clinic. They timed them on Sunday (they do once a month) and Cal dropped some time, so he was excited. They swam all 4 strokes-- I had no clue he could do breast and butterfly, but he did them...!
When I came home, I had to unload the dishwasher (of course! it never ends, huh??) and I had a really cute little helper.... he is getting so big. Seriously.
And, one last picture from Fall Fest!
It was a nice weekend with my family and friends. They make me feel so blessed!
