It's The Little Things...

Ooooohhh... Halloween is almost here!

I must say, Ben and I were quite productive today! We had his "Time for Two's" class this morning with his 2 "girlfriends" Taylor and Emmerson - they are twins that are 1 week younger than Ben. I met their mom in my mom's group about 6 months ago and honestly, I think they play together at least every other day. They are great girls and Paulette is a awesome girlfriend! Anyway, after our Class we came home and Ben had a 2 1/2 hour nap.. which gave me 2 1/2 hours to get some work done...very nice! When he woke up, we had lunch and then decorated the house for Halloween. He had so much fun "helping" me put decorations on the doors and on the walls...he is a hoot!

I loved this sign. It is metal and looks nice and antiquey (is that a word?)


My lovely cream colored pumpkin... a great Hallmark find (by my mom!)

A fun little metal sign... Ben likes to scream every time he passes by the spider...

Ok, so here is where the real fun began... I told Ben to watch Hudson for me as I quickly stepped outside onto the porch to take a photo of the front landing and my wreath. They were out of view and down the hallway a bit. I could see them, but the camera could not (as I was trying to get focused). I took the photo and looked at it on the camera, and saw my 2 boys right in the shot. I started to laugh, which made Ben laugh too... the next thing you know, he has his face pressed right up against the window and is laughing and licking it....

So much for a "Martha Stewart" shot.... oh well, I like this one better! ;)

I know I have been posting long blog entries lately... I have just not been on here for a while so I am making up for it now I guess. This little video is of Ben tonight. He is quite the performer lately. He LOVES the Rock A By Bear song by who else but the Wiggles. He knows all of the actions and whenever we are in the computer room, he points to the computer for me to play it. I had the camera on my knee and he did not know it was on. Here he is dancing one last time before his bath...it is so funny that even at his age, if he knows I am video taping him he gets embarrassed or shy and won't do it, but if I pretend that I am not he dances away!
