Halloween is coming

Aydan last year

I can't believe its October already!! Halloween is coming and I'm still trying to figure out what the kids are going to wear. Theres a million things to pick from but I just hate to buy something. I want to try to come up with something from around the house. Kenzie wants to be a princess or something similar, which it seems like she's something like that every year. I'm gonna try and convince her to be something that we can find at home. Aydan obviously has no idea so I can put anything on him. Last year, I think he fell asleep in the car while we were going to different places so it was hard getting him in and out. I wish everyone lived in the same town and within the same neighborhood so we could just walk everywhere, that is, if the weather permits. Its never very nice weather on Halloween.

The kids are growing up so fast!! Kenzie is learning so much in school already. It seems crazy to me that kids learn to read in kindergarten or even pre-school and by the time they are in 1st grade they are doing math and writing stories! She loves school and is doing really well. We got a note from her teacher the other day that said that Kenzie is ready to start the "challenge" spelling words each week.

And then there's Aydan. He is something else!! He is so funny and he's starting to jabber a lot more. His vocabulary has expanded a lot too! He can copy a lot of the words that we say. His new favorite movie is "Alvin and the Chipmunks." He will actually watch a good portion of it. I never thought he would sit still long enough, but it seems to hold his attention. He says "Ah-nin" for Alvin. He is such a boy; he loves to play with cars and trucks. Ok, he likes to play with babies too, but thats Ok:)
