Happy Halloween - Joshua's School Party

Joshua had his school Halloween party on Monday. Unfortunately, I was not able to attend because I was in Tallahassee for a couple of meetings. Luckily, Kevin, Jaime and Stephanie were all able to attend the festive event. And thank goodness Tim’s mom, Ellen, always has her camera with her so she can capture these awesome moments for us to share with everyone.

Joshua is a "doggy" this Halloween. He loves his costume and even likes to wear that head/hat part. Kevin eventually took off the head/hat since the boys were playing hard and it was getting a little warm in the classroom. As you can see from the pictures, all the kids had a great time, especially Joshua and his best buddy, Tim.

Typical Tim and Joshua - fun, fun and more fun!

All Dressed Up Somewhere to Go!

Joshua is going to be the ring bearer in his Uncle Jason's wedding. Well at least he's going to try - we're not making any promises. Jason and Alice requested that he wear either a black or gray suit. Luckily, we found one at Burlington Coat Factory that fits the bill. We bought two to see which he likes the best. Kevin and I like the red vest w/ the blak tie look the best, but Joshua HATES the red vest and prefers the jacket look. We'll be lucky if he wears either one for more than 10 mins.

"How you doin'?"

One Cool Dude!

Joshua has been very busy the past few weekends. We celebrated Kate's b-day at her n'hood park on 10-8 with the Harrisons and all of their friends and family. Jenn served Zaxby's chicken - a huge hit with Joshua. The boys are all pretty close in age. Joshua is 26 months, Harrison is 28 months and Bridger in 35 months. Below is a picture of Joshua, Harrison, Bridger and a neighbor friend of Jenn's enjoying the food and festivities at Kate's 1-year.

Big boy Joshua

Joshua is talking up a storm. He's saying 2 - 4 word sentences now. And others are starting to understand him too. Some of his favorite sayings are:

1) Come here daddy now

2) Outside now Mommy, two pumpkins

3) Tickle me again Mommy

4) I love you Daddy / Mommy

5) Goodnight gate, goodnight down there.

Last weekend Kevin and I celebrated my b-day by going to see "The Departed", to dinner and then seeing, "Man of the Year." We then stayed at the Hyatt and slept in until 7:30 AM - wow, crazy kids! My how times have changed! I can only imagine that it will be like this for the next 4 - 5 years as I firmly believe life will get easier when dos is about 3 or 4 and since his (yes, I think the baby is going to be a boy just as I did with Joshua) arrival won't be until the last week of April 2007, we have quite a while.

We went and picked out pumpkins on Saturday. Joshua is really into pumpkins and scarecrows this year. He loves to go look at all of the houses in our n'hood and check out their pumpkins and other Halloween decorations. Then Jaime came over so we could go out and stayed the night w/ Joshua. She said it's not work anymore that she really had a lot of fun with him even though he woke up at 12:00 AM and tried to trick her into letting him sleep in the bed with her. It' s nice to have here and I'm so pleased that she and Joshua have a close relationship. I don't think we could handle Boo and dos without Stephanie and Jaime... we'll certainly be calling and asking for more help after Arpil, that's for sure!

This weekend, it looks like we'll hang out w/ the Wrights and we'll get Joshua and Tim together, which means "T"rouble.
