so if you weren't sure-i kind of like holidays. i've always liked to dress myself according to the holiday coming up (i blame/thank my mom for that!)....but now that i have kids-it's game over. i LOVE to dress them festively (it's a word)! i'm sure they'll hate it when they're older and (gasp!) not wear green on st. patrick's day just b/c they hated how insane i was. and that's okay. i'll deal with that when that day comes ;)
here are a few halloween pictures i took of the kids with my crudtastic (also a word) little camera!
(side note: as much as i try to post equal number of pictures of each kid-sometimes it just doesn't happen-in this kind of situation-ceci is much easier to pose {for now!}-ian likes to fight it and runs and i can only bribe him so much ;) )
so as far as halloween night goes-we went to our friend's house-the sanchezes (sanchez's?) and hung out for awhile and then when justin got off of work, he brought the wagon on over and we got to trick-or-treating! sophie is almost 5 and was a fairy and nicholas is 20 months and dressed as a puppy. they were a ton of fun! they live in a great neighborhood and we made it to several houses until we went to a house that had a scary creeper hanging out. ian caught sight of him and it was game over. everything spooked him from then on. sophie was on the same page as ian, so we headed back to the house to hand out candy. nicholas was hilarious-he was pretty much screaming for people to come to the house so he could give them candy. ceci had a blast, too (as long as the owl head was not on-she was a-ok). overall it was a great time! we love hanging out with the sanchez family!
on another note, the past few days have been amazing. i love how God works. cecilia has been sleeping in our room/bed her entire life. however, i started putting her in her room this past week. she started off not so hot, but we have now had two 8 hour nights and even a 10 hour night! wow! first time since, well, EVER! awoohoo! and now i can just lay her in her crib and she'll fuss for a bit, then is out! (the first couple days were brutal-but we pushed past it!) yes!!!!! and she's even started eating more!!!
unfortunately, ian has been a little wimpy with a super runny nose for over a week now and today had a low fever, so i'm really praying that he isn't coming down with anything (and then that doesn't pass on to ceci). that would be that much harder for me-i love being the one that they want when they're sick (clarify-i hate when they get sick, but when they do-those are such a great cuddle moments and i love being the one that they want). but mainly-i just hope they don't get sick for their own sake! we've been talking about nana and grampy coming to visit and that mommy has to go to the doctor and spend the night. and that they get to play with nana and grampy for a lot of days, but that mommy is going to have an "owie" so i won't get to give big hugs or wrestle. i will get to give him a ton of kisses though :) i'm just trying to prep him and he understands just as well as a 2 year old can!
please say another prayer! i'm getting pretty nervous, but am also super excited about my parents getting here and spending the day with them and my angel babies!!!!
