Some helping hands

Doesn't everyone need a little help sometimes? Well, our boys definitely think we need help unloading the groceries! They LOVE grocery day....it is very exciting to help carry bags from the car to the house and then unload them out of the bags. I eventually did learn that I needed to find the eggs right away and put them away before the boys got to them. The first time, the boys came in the kitchen with individual eggs in their hands...I gave out a yelp and told them to stop. Thankfully, they just stopped and didn't drop the eggs. Then, the second time, I still forgot about the eggs...but, the boys learned and so Caleb just brought the eggs in the carton for me. : ) Now, I have finally learned to make sure the eggs and any other perishable things are on the counter.

So, here is a little video clip of our great little helpers!!!!

Adenoid Surgery

I just wanted to post that Caleb will be having adenoid surgery on Tuesday, Dec. 1st. He got sick very often last year, but all the docs told us that he was young and would get sick often. So, we didn't pursue it much. However, Caleb kept getting sick throughout the summer and the bad sickness started coming again at the end of August. He would get a really bad cough and couldn't sleep well at night. So, we finally decided to write down how often he got sick and it ended up being every 2 weeks. We thought it might be allergies and so we saw an allergist. It wasn't allergies and so he referred us to an ear, nose, and throat specialist. This doctor said Caleb had large adenoids...he said it was pretty common in little children, but that it can cause some children to get sick quite often. Caleb got put on an antibiotic to try and heal his sickness, but then he got sick again and the doctor said his adenoids were infected and should come out. So, here we are getting his adenoids out on Tuesday. I'd ask you all to pray that it goes well. It is a low risk surgery and an outpatient one. But, I'm still a little nervous...they will have to put him to sleep for the surgery. Thanks for your prayers! We pray you all had a great Thanksgiving! Ours was wonderful!

A Few Fall Pics

Well, I realized that it has been a month since my last blog...sorry about that. I guess we have been a bit busy! We enjoyed a Fall Festival with some people at church...they had a hay ride and lots of fun games to play. The boys had a great time...they loved the hay ride! We didn't celebrate Halloween...instead, we went to Friendly's for dinner and the boys got "chicken and fries" and they had ice cream sundaes. They enjoyed that greatly! Now, anytime we eat out...they only want "chicken and fries" and think we are always getting ice cream also! Oh well, we had a fun night as a family and didn't have to see scary trick or treaters!

We had a few weekends in November without visitors...which we missed our visitors, but we were able to get some work done on the house...mainly the basement. Kevin bought us a treadmill for the basement. Yay!! And so we had to do some organizing down there to make room. So, now the boys can play in the basement also!

It has actually been a mild fall/beginning of winter here...maybe that means January and February are going to be bad...we'll see! I have loved the days like today that are like in the low 70's and sunny and the boys and I can just play, play, play outside! I'm not sure anyone else around here likes the warm weather....I think everyone else wants to wear their sweaters...I like being able to wear my flip flops : )

Well, here are some pics of the boys! They were helping Kevin rake the leaves. TJ really enjoyed having all the leaves on top of him...Caleb did not and tried taking TJ's off of him cause he wasn't sure it was good for TJ either! Enjoy!
