Trick or Treat!

We carved pumpkins last weekend and the girls did the dirty work while Bruce and I did the labor. Sienna enjoyed it but it grossed Jordon out. She is such a girly girl!
Collin also played in his last football game that morning. They had their Humanitarian Bowl and they won in overtime. It was awesome!! Perfect way to end the season. Great job Bud!!

Corn Maze/Pumpkin Patch

So I'm falling behind in my blogging so I better get caught up. Sheesh!  At the beginning of October we took the girls to the Pumpkin Patch/Corn Maze. They rode a few rides, jumped in some bounce houses and we got lost in the corn maze. We did eventually find our way out ... obviously. ;)  Alexa had the time of her life. Every time we put her face through the wooden picture frames she started screaming in laughter. Everyone around us was laughing at her. It was so dang cute!! The weather here has been perfect. Sunny and 60 degrees for most of all October. Talk about Indian Summer!

Can it get any better??? I think not!

11 Months

Alexa is now 11 months old and is crawling everywhere! She is so stinkin fast. I thought I'd take a picture of her scars so you can see how well they are healing. Her G-tube scar is the only ugly one. We may have to get that one fixed in the future.

Tooth Fairy

So the tooth fairy has made her entrance quite a few times now. Jordon has lost 5 teeth now. 3 of them were within a week of each other. Her left front tooth was SO loose, so Bruce tugged and tugged at it but it wouldn't budge. So I took a turn at it and it was attached by a thick thread. So I grabbed some needle nose pliers and yanked really hard and it finally came out. It sounds worse than it really was. Jordon wasn't traumatized or anything. She was SO excited to lose another tooth.
A few days later she came home with her other front tooth missing. She said she had pulled it out herself. She was extremely proud of herself. She went to the nurse and the nurse gave her a little treasure box to keep her tooth in.
On Saturday Bruce took her to Target to spend her money she had got from the tooth fairy. She had been begging for weeks to get a toy. She ended up getting some Beauty and the Beast squinkies.

You can see how deep the hole is

First day of school

This year Collin enters Middle School. He is doing fantastic!! He loves changing classes and teachers. I think it's a great change for him considering his ADHD problems.
Jordon is in 1st grade and goes to school all day. It is fabulous!!! I love it!! The break between her and Sienna is much needed. She is enjoying 1st grade. She is such a perfectionist that learning to read and spell is little rough on the Mom, but I tried ever so hard to keep my cool.
Sienna is in her last year of Pre-School at Miss Susan's again. Miss Susan adores Sienna. She says Sienna is her 'perfect' student. This comes as a bit of surprise to me. At home Sienna is just the opposite, BUT I'm stoked she is good for other people.
Alexa is cruising around the house now. She crawls everywhere and pulls herself up all the time. Her favorite place is the bathroom. We have to remember to keep the doors shut so she doesn't play in the toilet. She LOVES her sisters and plays with Sienna wherever she is. I think Alexa gets bored when her sisters are gone at school.

Football

Collin is playing tackle football for the first time this year. I was so excited he finally showed interest in playing a sport. He is small for his age so I was a little worried about that. He was put on a team that has been together for the last 4 years. They've been great in welcoming Collin. He plays tight end on the offense. The first 2 weeks were really tough. He was sore, bruised and beat up from practices. He would ask to quit everyday. The mean Mom I am made him push through the practices until he had his first game. Then if he still hated it so bad then HE could tell his coach and team he wanted to quit. After the first game he decided it was fun. I'm so glad he has stuck with it and is enjoying himself now. He has made lots of new friends. I'm so proud of him! He is #20 on the maroon team.
