First I must complain. I got the stomach bug five days ago and I am still not better. I couldn't keep down anything but water for two days and now if I eat anything but oatmeal my stomach feels uncomfortable and I get terrible indigestion. I feel totally exhausted and I have gone to bed every night thinking "tomorrow I am going to be all better", but I have yet to feel "all better".
Half of October was spent in Nevada with my family. Everyone in St. Louis tells me I missed two weeks of straight rain and boy am I grateful. The weather in Nevada was beautiful. We played outside every day. Grandpa bought the grandkids two large Tonka trucks and an all-terrain tricycle. Scott and Iris had fun racing the trucks up and down the driveway and filling them with gravel. If we weren't playing outside then we were watching SpongeBob inside! We had lots and lots of fun and wish Nevada wasn't so far away!
According to Scott, this gravel pile is about 20ft high! It is really more like 4ft high, but things seem a lot bigger when you are three.
This year for Halloween Iris was a ladybug (again) and Scott was a black Spiderman, thanks to a last minute loan from our friend April. I was going to have them both wear the same costumes as last year (Iris a ladybug and Scott a skeleton), and save some time and money. So on Halloween morning after telling Scott "Happy Halloween" he said "I want to be Spiderman!", I tried to convince him otherwise, but he insisted that he must be Spiderman. I quickly called April, who has three boys and asked her if she had any Spiderman costumes she wasn't going to use. Thank goodness she did and it saved our Halloween!
This is Spiderman Scott and his good friend butterfly Afton.
Halloween was strictly business for Scott. He would run up to a house, get candy and then take off to the next house, while we trailed along with Iris.
This is ladybug Iris (She didn't really like the idea of halloween until at the first house she got candy. She cried until we let her eat a piece!)
