Happy Halloween!

This post has taken so long to do. Halloween was a great day. We celebrated at home because Blase had walking Pneumonia and Harrison had a ruptured ear drum. We did go tick or treating at the mall and the fire station, and that was fun. Blase and I bobbed for apples it was fun. Lish gave me the idea to decorate the house a little more special for Blase. The kids wore their costumes all day long. Blase had seen the movie Star Wars the week before Halloween, and when he saw the Darth Vader costume, he just had to be him. Harrison got his little frog costume from Cocoa. I always put way too many pictures on here, but I like too.
Today we had a chest x-ray for Blase and he has a virus attacking his lungs. He is coughing like crazy with no relief and wheezing. The doctor put him on a steroid, breathing treatments and cough syrup with codeine for sleep! Harrison's right ear is full of puss and fluid, so now he is taking Augmen in. Poor little guys! I hope they get better soon.
Here is one funny thing each has said today.
Harrison watching t.v. and eating a french fry, asks the cartoon character on the screen,"Wanna Bite?"
Blase today while sitting on the pot,"Mom, I have diarreah from all this rest time!"
Hope your week is great!

Friday Favorites...from our week!

Yesterday we had a beautiful day...23 degrees in the morning, but it did warm up to about 50. My boys did not seem bothered at all by the brisk chill in the air. Our neighbors have a huge leaf pile that Blase lives to play in. As we were getting ready to go jump in the leaves, I noticed Blase's shoes, and here's what happened.
Me..."Blase, why are you going out to play in the leaves with your good dress shoes?"
Blase....."Mom, it's because I'm dressed!"
He answered me like duh mom, dress shoes when your dressed..you should know that. Needless to say I laughed, but it doesn't seem quite as funny today. We changed his shoes and made our way to the leaf pile for some autumn fun.
Blase went to bed thanking God for making the leaves, and woke up this morning still talking about them. After seeing the weather report calling for rain all weekend, he asked if I think the neighbors will remember to tarp the leaf pile? He is so funny.
The pictures below are from Blase taking a hot soak in the tub. Doug gave him the shower cap, so when I went up to check on him I thought too cute. This has been a difficult week for our family, but we are thankful for our relationships with God and just how faithful he is. We are thankful for our health, our boys, and just being able to find joy in our trials....Thank you God! Have a blessed weekend.

Harrison and his "Pumpcock"

Harrison is loving the fall season. He has quite the vocabulary too! He loves the leaves, taking evening walks...not in the stroller of course, and he loves the decorations. He is constantly touching the ghost in our yard and saying Booo! I have 3 fiberoptic pumpkins that he loves to watch change color. A couple of days ago when he woke up in the morning and saw one of the pumpkins he said,"Pumpcock!" Well we just got our pumpkins, and he is in love. We carved Blase's, but not Harrison's. He rolls it, sits on it, and just talks to his Pumpcock. I am so enjoying this age and watching Harrison develop a personality with his words! He is also becoming quite cuddly, unlike his brother. Dad, the picture of Blase at the bottom is for you...he wanted you to see him watching Scooby Doo, in his Sooby Doo p.j.s, eating french fries. Love to you all!

Happy 55th Birthday Papa!!!!

Happy Birthday Pa. We hope your day is wonderful, and wish we were there to celebrate with you. We love you and are blessed to call you dad. I am so very thankful for you, and I look forward to our morning chats. Although we miss you terribly, I am thankful to God for where you are. Not only are you a good dad, but the world's most adored Papa. Our children love you, and think you are the best. Thank you for being such a hard worker and faithful father.....I love you, and miss you more than you will know. Sorry the pictures are old, but I have been sick. There is one new one of Harrison in the leaves. P.S. Your package is in the mail.

Elk Country USA!

Here are the pictures I promised. What a fun weekend. I had such a great time at Eir and Jason's. Halle and Cohen are getting so big. My boys, mom and I had a blast in Elk Country Usa! Blase got a whole sack full of candy from the homecoming parade we stumbled upon. The kids played, we ate, laughed and celebrated Cohen's birthday. Blase is still talking about the elks. The place we took pictures was beautiful.
