Everett had so much fun dancing. He even made a dancing buddy.

Hampton's Room
Last weekend my mom and I worked on revamping our guest room. Since Hampton was born he has been sleeping in our "guest room" in a pack n' play. Finally we decided to just abandon the idea of a guest room for now and use the room as Hampton's. Our goal is to eventually move Hamp into Everett's room and have them share, but for right now he has his own space.
I moved all of his clothes into the closet as well.
I love rocking and nursing Hampton in this glider before bedtime now. It is one of my favorite times of the day with him.
Mom and I went to Michaels for inspiration and materials. We framed his initial and I love how it turned out.
We also painted these pictures. I am pleased with out they came out.
Hampton's Nana made this quilt for him. It is sock monkeys and is the story of the five little monkeys jumping on the bed.
Hampton loves his new room!

This weekend Everett and Hampton's Grandpa and Nana came up for a visit. We had so much fun. Friday evening we went to a restaurant called The Fiddlin' Pig. It was barbeque and bluegrass music and we had a front row seat. Not only did they have music, but there was dancing as well. Professional cloggers to be exact. Everett loved it.
After dinner Everett took his turn dancing. It was so funny. If he has an audience, he'll entertain and I love that about him.
On Saturday morning we had brunch at Cracker Barrel. While the boys were napping we watched movies and relaxed. Everett, Hampton, and I enjoyed reading some books and having a picnic. Their Nana made this quilt for Everett. I love it.
That evening we had barbeque again (take-out). Everett just loves his grandpa. He took to him right away and I can't count how many times he said, "I want my grandpa please" throughout the weekend. Too cute.
This morning we went to church. Afterwards we went to Carrabbas for lunch and it was so good. The babies were getting a bit restless however, so I had to take them to the waiting area to play. The hostess was so sweet though because she gave Everett some pizza dough to play with. Such a clever idea and he had so much fun.
Grandpa loving on the babies.
Such a great weekend and we were sad to see them leave. We have promised them a visit this summer where I am sure the boys will have fun blueberry picking and swimming.

Hoopla!
On Saturday our church had an event called Hoopla, which was a Halloween alternative. We had fun and I definitely think it'll be something Everett and Hampton will enjoy when they get a little older. Hampton fell asleep on the way there and napped for a bit on Eric's shoulder. A napping monkey, so cute!
Everett was a gorilla. I was so happy we brought their wagon and I thought they looked adorable riding in it together. When Everett would get some candy, he would offer some to Hampton which I thought was so sweet.
We had Everett "play" a few games to earn some candy. I think next year he'll get it more. This is him milking a cow.
I just love this picture of Hampton. This describes how he is 95% of his day.
Everett lounging and enjoying his smoothie Nonny bought him.
Needless to say, he did not eat dinner that night. But that's okay, it was a special night.

Nonny's Visit
My mom flew in for a visit this past weekend. We had fun doing some Fall activities. Like picking out pumpkins at a pumpkin patch......
Everett was way overwhelmed by all the pumpkins. He ran around saying "Oh wow!"
Nonny and the babies.
We also went to the park where Everett was a really big boy and went down the slide all by himself! I was very proud of him.
My mom's visit also included shopping, a bedroom project, going out for brunch after church Sunday, and doing some trick or treating around our neighborhood. We had fun with Nonny this visit and Everett was so well behaved! We sadly had to send her off on the "airpane" this morning though.

Preschool Fall Party
Yesterday morning was Everett's preschool Fall party. I was a mom volunteer and Hampton came along as well. He did so well. I just placed him in a corner of the classroom and he just observed the whole time.
The kids were so cute all dressed up in their costumes. Everett cried on and off the whole time. I know it was because I was there. His teacher said he doesn't do that normally. And yes, "nigh nigh" is an official member of his class!
He looked so cute in his gorilla costume!
We read a story about candy canes. Played a bean bag toss game. Did a craft. And Everett's favorite part, ate candy corn cake! He was so funny because all the kids were just digging in with their hands and Everett asked for someone to help his so he didn't get his hands dirty!
Everett has done so well in preschool. He is making friends and learning the "rules" of school. It was fun to see him in that environment. He is definitely the darling of the classroom, but I am bias. Ha!

Babies in a Bath
This is now how Everett and Hampton take a bath. They love it! I usually have to tell them it is time to get out because the water is cold and they are all "pruny." I love that now they do so much together. In fact, every night now Everett asks us at bedtime if Hampton can sleep with him. One day we'll put them together!
