Happy Fall Y'all!

Yep, Fall is finally here at our house! The weather not so much, but I am hoping this week will bring cooler temperatures. Last week was rough and really put my nerves to a test! Anderson decided to throw his paci away Wednesday morning when I commented that it was broke. Yes, I was/am very happy, but that brought on a lot of whining during the day. When I would usually give him the paci to get him quiet, I couldn't. Today has been much better, so I am hoping it is going to get better. He hasn't cried for it and only asked for it a few times. Such a big boy already and personally, I am not ready for 2 bog boys. I was hoping Anderson would stay a baby longer. ;) On top of all of this, neither of them have napped. If one happened to crash, it would be for 15-20 min max. This lead to early bed times around our house! By Thursday, I simply wanted a 15 min rest, but it was made impossible. We managed to survive though!!

Yesterday one of our friends hosted a Fall Party. Bently was SO excited!! Once everyone got there, he screamed, "This is a party!" Funny the things that bring joy to their heart. I asked him on the way home what his favorite thing was and he replied with, "the candy corn cake." (aka: pretzels with kisses topped with a candy corn) Mark is on call today, so I made sure to make a few plans to help our day pass quickly. We started with Anderson a haircut and he did NOT cry at all today! That is a big deal because his hair grows so fast we are having to get it cut rather often. Then I let them play at the mall a while. They really enjoy this and it's FREE! I decided to once again brave a movie with them...yea, this attempt was a failure too. Kudos to Pops for taking them and managing to stay the whole movie. Once the popcorn was gone, Anderson was done. I was able to keep him quiet a little while, but once a lady turned around and looked at me, I was done. Maybe we'll try again next year!! So we came home and will have a frozen pizza for dinner and watch football! It's the sweet life and I know you are all jealous! ;) It was peanut butter and jelly last night!!!

I hope you all are having a nice weekend. We truly are too. We are looking forward to being back in LA in a few short weeks. Camo, costumes, and party supplies are already packed!!

In the midst of my little mess, 
I forget how big I'm blessed!

So break me of impatience
Conquer my frustrations
I've got a new appreciation
It's not the end of the world.

After his haircut!

Don't let these cute faces fool you...at the movies!

A snip it from Bently as he opened his package from MaC and Pops. I recorded too much, so had to delete some.
