We are moving into our new place so I’m on a break. Will update soon.

Halloween Party

Little Miss Halloween

Yesterday we went to a Halloween party with our homeschool group. There was pizza,  crafts, tons of food, kids, games, cupcakes, and costumes. The kids really had a good time. I was helping kids with the pumpkin painting, so I have no idea how much my kids ate or drank. Good mom for ya there. As I was looking around at one point, I realized that Lucas did not stand out. He wasn’t in trouble . He wasn’t freaking out. He wasn’t melting down. He was just another kid. It made me so happy. However, that was short lived. Lucas 2, aka Alex, kicked into high gear. Now, in his defense, he was out during nap time. He wanted to hold his paint covered pumpkin. When I told him no, he cried. He wanted to go outside. When I told him no, he cried. His balloon popped, and there were no more. He cried. Then he found a smaller balloon. That wasn’t good enough, he cried. He had a cupcake. After that he wanted candy. I told him no, he cried. This time the crying didn’t stop. I started to load stuff into the van, he followed me crying. I went back into the community center for more stuff, he followed me crying. The crying went on for 15 minutes staight. Good times. He finally fell asleep in the van. At least we’d been at the party long enough that the kids didn’t freak out about leaving. He went down for a nap when we got home. We went to Mike and Kristina’s house for dinner. The kids had a great time. Again, Lucas didn’t stand out at all. Alex was good too. They had a huge kids’ room upstairs. I had the youngest kids which made it a little tough. Especially since Jeff got called out and wasn’t able to go with us. Well, Alex had so much crud to eat that he couldn’t sleep. His eyes were all bugged out like Mort on Madagascar. He was up until after 9:30. It’s a good thing he’s cute. I know they’re only little for a short while, but I just wish they were a little more fun at 2. My boys give new meaning to the terrible two’s. Here’s hoping Indiana is different. (Sorry about the duplicate pictures, I can’t seem to figure out this gallery thing.)
