October Pics in Review

October iPod/iPad/iPhone pics...

 We were outside playing and the kids were pretending to be napping in the yard.

 Our pumpkins when they were lit outside.

 A few Sundays ago I apparently ate something that was loaded with salt.  I was so swollen, more swollen then I have ever been with any of my kids.  I came home from lunch, took a cat nap then woke up to legs/ankles the size of Canada.  I asked Chaney if she would give me a foot massage.  (Secretly, our kids think its really fun to play spa and give us a foot massage.  And really, they are pretty good at it.)  So, I took full advantage of it and was a willing participant.

 Recently we have changed this little guys routine on him.  His schedule was to lay down during naptime and actually sleep.  However, since the weather is changing we are not outside as much and he is not using as much energy as he needs to.  The midday nap would cause him to lay in bed at night for sometimes 60-90 minutes before he would fall asleep and calling for his dad about every 10 minutes.  Josh and I decided to make naptime a rest time, just like Chaney.  He now has to lay down for a few hours and watch a movie and just relax.  The picture above is from this past week.  I walked in the room and said he had about 15 more minutes of laying down.  I went in 15 minutes later and found him snoozing away.  I will say that his new routine is working out much nicer.  He now is so tired that we start bedtime at 8:30 and he falls asleep much quicker.

 On a rainy day they got the Nerf guns out and were taking target practice.  Their shot is actually getting much better.

This past weekend Josh and I were able to (finally) enjoy the Sugarland concert.  Unforetunetly, we forget our cameras so the only pics we could get were with Josh's iPhone.  We had great seats...not bad for a full refund on the first concert then free tickets for this one.  This show was high energy and Jennifer and Kristian barely stood still on stage so getting a picture was hard.

 This is a picture from the screen while she was singing "Stay."  This was the calmest they were all evening.

Our new favorite drink around here is Peppermint Hot Chocolate form McDonalds.  Even the kids are liking it.  I finally got them their own cup and they sat at the table and played coffee talk for about 45 minutes.  It was hilarious listening to their topics of conversation.  They were trying to act like they were high schoolers.
