Say it ain't so.....

Say it isn't Sunday and I have to go back to work tomorrow! I know, I know, I keep complaining about work, but that is all I am going to say today. I just wanted to express that I don't want to go to work tomorrow. But I have to, so that is that!

I wanted to give an update on Ethan. We had him last week for 2 nights so we could see him. We haven't really seen him since Ted got back from Italy. So, before Ted left for Japan on Friday, we decided to get him Tuesday through Thursday. Everytime I see him I can't believe how grown up he looks. He is now in 5th grade! Next year he will be going to middle school. Pretty crazy! It seems like just yesterday he was throwing temper tantrums and going to pre-school. Don't get me wrong....I definitely don't miss the temper tantrums! Whew, that was rough. But.....I just can't believe how much time flies! He is still going to GATE this year, which is the gifted and talented education program. Only a select few students from each grade and each school in the city get to go and it is for those who excel academically. That is definitely Ethan! He is also playing the violin this year, which is pretty cool. I can't wait to see him when he has school concerts. He is doing real well this year....hasn't gotten in trouble....yet! Maybe this year will be different. Maybe he has matured a little since 4th grade and he will get in trouble less and less! One can only hope! I will definitely try and get some pictures of him next time we have. I really only saw him a little bit since he had karate on Tuesday night and I got home late on Wednesday. But I did get to spend a little bit of time with him when I took him to school Wednesday and Thursday morning!

Our weather has been so beautiful this past weekend...I am actually sitting out on our back deck as I am posting this. I just put Brody to bed (a little early) and decided to sit out here and enjoy the evening. He was Mr. fussypants tonight. I think he was tired. He slept for about an hour this morning and about an hour this afternoon. We went to Tab's this weekend and maybe that threw him off. Who knows? He did actually do something he has never done before. Last night, he slept for over 11 hours! Whoa! He was falling asleep as I was feeding him the bottle last night and was out around 8:15pm. Then, this morning, when I woke up, I noticed it was pretty light oustide and looked at the clock and it was 7:15 am. I had an initial panic attack wondering where Brody was. When I peeked into the room he was sleeping in, he was still sound asleep, on his belly, in the pack-n-play. Then, I heard him about 7:30 am. I couldn't believe how long he slept. I didn't even hear a peep out of him once I put him down. I think Tab and I wore him out yesterday.

I wanted to get Brody some winter clothes since today is the last day of summer and winter is right around the corner. We went to Old Navy and I got him the cutest clothes....I can't wait to see him in them. We also got Brody's halloween costume yesterday too. He is going to be a turkey and we put it on him last night and he was so cute! I took some pictures and will post them tomorrow. He was a little fussy when I initially put it on him, but he got used to it. Tab's husband, Kevin, works for the National Wild Turkey Federation and he gave Brody a turkey call to hold on Halloween. It is a little thing that hunters use during turkey hunting season to call in a turkey. He laughed when we made the noise. I am planing on just taking him to my neighbors house and not around the neighborhood. He is still too young for all of that. But, the costume is the cutest and I am so glad we found it!

Other than that, not much else is going on. Hope everyone had a good weekend and enjoy your week!
