UF Homecoming

I took the boys to the Homecoming parade-my first year ever. The weather was so nice! I met Karen and Kirsten before the game to do some tailgating.

Movie on the Lawn

A local bank did a movie on the lawn. They played The Lorax which was really cute! They had a bounce house, hot chocolate, drinks and popcorn.

Halloween and Fall Festival

 I didn't have the boys this year for Halloween but I did get to take the younger boys to my school for a dress up day (related to anatomy/physiology, of course AND I got extra credit). Oliver was a sperm and Gabriel was a skeleton.

 Kids in costume got free pizza the few days before halloween if they were dressed up so we went the night before to play and have pizza

Kids Update

Nicolae has been enjoying school! I can't believe how quickly he's learning new things. He's even beginning to read and write (phonetically). He got an award at school for following the rules...what a surprise! :) I had a parent teacher conference with his teacher and he's having a problem with comprehension but otherwise is doing great.

I kept trying to take a picture of Gabriel and Nicolae kept getting in the way. He's so funny!

 Gabriel is getting so big! He's turning into a big boy and slowly growing out of his whiney stage. He's so helpful and such a clown.

 The boys like a particular bedtime story that I hate to read so this night, I had Scott read it to them cause they really wanted to read it

Oli has been battling an ongoing ear infection that I think is caused by his congestion from at least 6 teeth coming in at once. After having him evaluated for speech therapy (which they said he's too advanced for), he's finally beginning to babble but his facial expressions say so much.

I started the shower for the boys and Oli jumped in clothes and all!
