No lie, this is what C wanted to be. And he owned it. Every single person adult manning a trunk commented on his costume. I dare say he had the best costume. It was fun to see him shine.
two. I have written that our good friends are moving to Oregon. They leave tomorrow. We had one last playdate with them at Burger King yesterday morning. They had a lot of fun. Marlee is C's best friend and we are going to miss her. He dictated a very sweet note to her and I wrote it out for him. Then he signed his name and he put in his school picture.
These two have come a long way. M has ALWAYS admired Marlee but Marlee wasn't the biggest fan of M for a long while. But now, they get along well. M is going to miss her a lot.
It's so hard on my mama heart. We have found Oregon on the map and C knows that she is moving. But I don't think he really comprehends that today was very well the last time he will see her. I am just sad to see his good friend leave. And of course I will miss her mom too, who has been a great friend to me. The kids really just got each other and have always played really well together. It's tough to say goodbye.
three. Yesterday C's other best friend had a Halloween party. It eased the sting for me to see him happy with friends who are not moving. M had a very good time at the party because there were three other kids about her same size and she thought that was pretty good. It was a lot of fun! There were crafts and games and just a lot of running around like crazy. Once again his costume was a hit.
four. Our weekend plans involve cleaning and getting some pumpkins and carving them! I bought a cheap pumpkin at the grocery store for a decoration, but the kids knocked the stem off and now a squirrel has begun to eat it! So we need a few extra pumpkins.
five. Since C is out of school until next Tuesday, he joined M and I for art class!
It was fun Halloween crafts this week and the snack craft was a bagel, with chocolate chip eyes and fake vampire teeth. Super cute. And tasty too. All the excitement of the past few days meant that my kids slept in for the first time I can remember! 7:50! So I was glad the snack was something that could feasibly pass for breakfast since ours was a little lacking.
six. It is literally blowing my mind that November is next week. The upside to that is that the election will soon be over! Providing of course the toddlers who are running don't throw a temper tantrum and try to challenge the results. I actually read a very thought provoking article that, if you ignore the title and some of the language, makes some interesting points.
seven. So that's kind of what we have been up to and what I know. It's not a whole lot but it's enough to keep us busy and happy which is about as good as it gets. Have a wonderful weekend!!
Love, love, love that costume!!!!! And I love M's little spout! I used to love it when I could do that to Sarah's hair and she would actually leave it in.
ReplyDeleteIf it makes you feel any better, we moved when Peter had just turned 3 and he had to leave his BFF behind. He has absolutely no memories of this person at all. And now typing that, I'm not sure if that will make you feel better or worse! I guess my point is, I was sad that Peter had to leave his BFF behind, but to Peter it made no difference because as soon as we got here, he made another BFF and they have been besties for TEN years.
