What a Week...

This week has been a long, yucky week for Trevor and I. Steve went to Las Vegas for the firefighter competition and we stayed home and got sick. Imagine that! All I can say is that if I feel better next weekend it is time that I get a break-I could really use a haircut. That is about the extent of my alone time!
Here are some pics from last week (Steve took the camera so I don't have any from this week, but maybe I will have some pics of his trip for you soon).
Trevor was out in the garage with Steve "helping with laundry" and he came in wearing these! I thought it was so funny!



Here is a picture of Trevor's pink eye. I felt bad because he was so mad when he couldn't open it when he woke up. And putting drops in his eyes is like some form of toture. I literally have to straddle him down on the floor and pry his eyes open.
I got some White Fudge Covered Oreo's at WalMart one day (they are sinfully delicious by the way) and Trevor decided the white fudge was the best part and licked it until it turned to goo...then proceeded to rub it over his entire face (yes, that is the cookie under his hand on his cheek)!

Last Saturday, we went to watch a Veteran's day parade that Steve was in (we didn't get to watch the whole thing-Steve had the place wrong). We walked through Kid Kingdom to get to Steve and on the way back we stopped to play for a while.

Trevor was dead-set on lifting this tire even though it was bolted to the wood. He was even grunting!Trevor usually doesn't like swinging but decided this day that he did. But the swing he picked was facing the sun, so he wanted to wear my sunglasses. I thought he looked cute!He kept sitting in front of the slide like he was going to go down. That made me happy because he doesn't like going alone most of the time. But he was just messing with me and being goofy. He is telling me to "Clap Mommy!"

The only way I could get him out of the park is by asking him if he wanted to go see the dino. Of course he wanted to see it...but he also wanted to ride it! I couldn't get a good pic when he was up there, but here he is trying to climb up.

I had to get something out of the car and Trevor followed me and insisted on driving. So I let him and he seemed to know what he was doing for the most part. Here is just a random pic of him in the car. He was really mad when I made him go inside.

We pick up Daddy tomorrow night. I am sure Trevor will be super excited to see him!

I'm not sure what is on the agenda for the next week...hopefully it involves feeling better though!

I think we are hosting Thanksgiving at our house for a couple other families, but I haven't gotten a definite answer yet. If so, I will be busy starting to get the house cleaned up!

I wish we were rich and could hire an organizer and a maid....

Halloween Pictures...

I am finally back with some new pics and that means Halloween pictures!
Except for this one...he just loved his new footsie jammies and had to be ham about it.
He was quite the little attentive artist while painting his pumpkin. But he wanted me to paint it too, so I added his name.This is what he was working so hard on.....

At first he wanted nothing to do with the "pumpkin brains" but then he got into it and wanted to help scrape them out. And he was pretty proud of it.
Here he is checking out the finished product. Daddy didn't carve one this year-but ours were good enough.

It took me forever to figure out what Trevor was going to be for Halloween. Then I decided on a farmer. I got the clothes and everything. But the night before Halloween I changed my mind after a random idea popped into my head (at midnight). I kept the idea a secret from Steve too. I thought nobody else would be dressed like him, but everyone would know what his costume was.....Here he is everyone!!!

Introducing your 2008 Beijing Olympics 8-time Gold Medalist MICHAEL PHELPS!
Here is another one from when we got home after trick or treating. We were then on our way to a Halloween party at a friend's house.

And little did I know that one of the guys at the party would be dressed as Michael Phelps too! If I had told Steve my idea, then I would have known because the guy is his friend.

Here are the two champs!

Steve dressed up for the party (it was a costume party, I had no costume though) as a "towel-head" (Arab). He even had an authentic "man-dress" that he got on his first deployment.

Trevor was doing so much running and playing that I decided to take his stuff off. Here he is chilling after a long night.

Overall, it was a fun night. Next year we are definitely all dressing up-hopefully with some kind of family costume.

Hope you enjoy!
