soo behind!!

Yikes stripes it has already been almoset a month since I have written on this! Where does the time go??? Things have been kind of a whirlwind around here it seems... I am back to work, which is probably mostly why it's been so crazy, work has been busy busy busy busy.. 

Halloween: we dressed up as characters from Toy Story - (even had a *dress rehearsal* a week prior with some good friends!!)  Decorated/carved pumpkins. Tried my first pumpkin kit, so had something other than triangle eyes, nose, and mouth --- an Ernie face! Didnt turn out too bad but I do not have the patience for it. We will see if we go back to triangles next year...

Had a week home with both boys. Loved every single minute of it.  Mason went back to daycare Monday, Chase started that Friday. So sad to leave him but we are so lucky that I have known our daycare provider since our preschool days-- 23 years!  

Chase has been adjusting so well to being at daycare. He is only getting up once at night, or I should say early morning...usually at 5:00AM on the dot. He's still in his bassinet in our room - which is handy I dont even have to get out of bed to feed him! 

We had Bobbys mom come stay with us for a week so she could soak up time with her grandsons. 11/11/11 - I feel like we should have done something special - we did go to Texas Roadhouse for our annual Vetran's Day dinner ~ so proud of my soldier husband!  

Saturday Chase officially turned 3 months old. I cannot believe how fast the time flies. He is the most smiley, content baby ever. There are days I go up to check on him while he is napping just to find him wide awake, smiling, playing in his bed. Content as can be! So mellow.

Mason is also getting to be such a big boy -- love the things he comes up with -- like today, at daycare they were all pretending to be cats and dogs, and when we got home, we HAD to make a "kennel" for him -- I used to call them tents but I guess he wanted it to be a kennel!  SUch a great loving big brother, always wanting to give C-monkey kisses and hugs. Knock on wood but I think we can also say he is officially potty trained-- has had no accidents in a very long time and will now come get us when he has to go potty! Yay Mason!!

We had Chase's Baptism on Sunday. Friends and family over for lunch after. We are so blessed to have such great family and friends!

Hoping to be able to relax at least a little over the weekend - like I said it just seems like we have not had a day home just us FOUR in forever! I miss the early days of my maternity leave where we all just sat home and did nothing!!! We are prob. going to go to the UND football game tomorrow, which will be fun, and then hopefully Bobby & I can have a little date night Saturday night, as he will be gone Sunday evening.

It is 9:18 on a Friday night and I am seriously contemplating going to bed. Wow how things change when you are a mommy!!
