Today's Happenings

It is the end of the day and I am exhausted, so this post may be all over the place. We had a good day. No where to go until late this afternoon. A great day enjoying each other at home.

I didn't think Everett's costume last year would fit Hampton, but surprisingly it did. I guess he will be a gorilla for Halloween this year.
Everett is going to be a doctor. I asked Eric to put his costume on him tonight in prep for his party at preschool tomorrow. He came in and said, "I need 60ccs of cuteness stat!"
 He loves his costume and Hampton kept following him all around the house tonight.
 This afternoon I took Everett and Eleanor to the doctor. Everett has been stuttering lately and even though I am a speech pathologist I wanted to get his thoughts. After talking it out, we are just going to give it time. Eleanor was there for her 2 month appointment.
The doctor was running behind this afternoon and we got a little bored waiting. We had read every book, so we decided to entertain ourselves by making funny faces in the mirror. Everett said, "there are two Everetts!"
 Eleanor loved looking at herself in the mirror as well.
 After an hour, this is Everett "I am bored" face.
 Still waiting......
 Sister is doing great! She weighs 10 pounds 6 ounces and is in the 50th percentile for weight, 75th percentile for height, and the 50th percentile for her head circumference.
 I love her dress! She had to get 3 shots today. Overall she is doing great. Our doctor was pretty impressed she can sleep 8-9 hour stretches at night. The Lord knows we need that!

So I made some Rice Krispie treats for a fun snack this afternoon. Everett was so excited to get a "masmellow" treat.
And this guy was loving them as well.
 I don't know why I always crave these in the Fall.
 We are loving this book. Everett requests it everyday.
And today for our craft we made these pumpkins. It was the first time I allowed Everett to handle the glue and he did really well.

All day long Everett talked about how he is excited for his preschool party tomorrow, so I can't wait to hear how it went. He told me there was going to be games, and treats, and he gets to wear his costume. I have a feeling Christmas this year is going to be very fun!
