Thanksgiving Weekend

Happy late Thanksgiving! I couldn't blog about our plans before Thanksgiving because we were going home and surprising family and I didn't want to give it away. It was kind of a quick trip but well worth it. Poor little M got sick on the way to Idaho. He got the croup but we made the best of the trip. I felt so helpless. To not be able to make your child better is one of the worst feelings in the world.

We had Thanksgiving dinner with Travis's side of the family and the day after I went Black Friday shopping with the girls and then out to breakfast where we met up with my parents, the husbands and kiddos. After breakfast we finished our shopping and headed to my parents house and dipped chocolates. It was lots of fun. I haven't dipped the day after Thanksgiving for 5 years and I'd really missed it. Saturday morning I went back to my parent's house and finished the dipping with my mom and was able to have some one on one time with my parents. That afternoon we were able to go visit M's great grandparents. We had a nice visit but had to cut one of them short so we could take M to the doctor because we were flying home the next day. The doc gave him some medicine (that he hates taking) and the next day he slept for almost the entire flight home and then the drive home from the airport too.

This is what we did for Family Home Evening the Monday before Halloween. I wish I had gotten a picture of M doing his cookie. Well, eating it anyway. He didn't do a lot of decorating but he had fun anyway.

Happy Late Halloween

Happy late Halloween. Just kidding. I've been meaning to put a picture of M in his Halloween costume and I haven't gotten around to it until now. He's supposed to be a monk but when we took him to the ward trunk-or-treat some people thought he was a character from Star Wars.

Climber

This stool is just one more thing that we can't keep on the floor. M stands up on it and then he panics a little when he wants to get down but doesn't know how to. We now keep the stool on top of the fridge. Not the most convenient for me but if it's safer then it's worth it.

Warning!!!

I just wanted to warn everyone NOT to share your chocolates with M. If he eats chocolates the same as he eats his chicken nuggets he'll take one bite out of each chocolate before finishing them off.
