Halloween 2009

Julian was my monkey this year, and he is quite a monkey climbing on everything at home!! Manny wanted to be Spiderman. The weather was yucky, warm, but rainy. I decided we'd do the mall then hit up all of the family. Manny really enjoyed trick or treating this year and ate more candies last night than I care to think about. I'm sure he figured he'd never get the chance again, or even get his bag back so he'd better eat what he could. Julian didn't quite get the hang of holding his bag open and getting candy...he did say treat once in a while and snatched up any lollipop that was put in his bag. Overall the boys had a great night!!

WWII planes

Manny took the boys to Stewart Airport today to see the World War II planes. The boys had a great time checking them out and walking through them. Mommy and Taina had a great time without the boys :) we went shopping!!!!

home sick

Julian and I were home last week because he had croup...not fun!! He needed treatments on the nebulizer every 4 hours and a 2nd treatment 2 times a day as a double dose, so a 20 min treatment. He just laid there on me each treatment and fell asleep, a sure sign he was really sick!! He also had to take prednazone...yup, that came right back at me...he spit every last drop right back out. He thankfully is much better...now it's allergies and a cough, but he is responding to allergy meds and treatments. Here are a few pics from one of our 6 days stuck in the house :)

Dad's friend brought some equipment to the house to deliver our new shed, thanks to Aunt Judy and Uncle Chip!!!! Julian had fun on the trailer and Manny LOVED his ride in the skid steer.

Apple picking at Herd's

The boys and I went to a birthday party at Herd's farm. They had such a great time playing in the sand, going on the hayride, taking a cow ride, and apple picking. I love that it was such a beautiful day, especially with Julian being home all last week with croup.

Spiderman

This morning at breakfast I noticed two bites on Manny; one on his finger and the other on his wrist. I wondered, out loud, if they were mosquito bites or spider bites. Manny looked at me very seriously like he really had been thinking and said, "If I got bit by a spider........that must mean......I'm SPIDERMAN!!!!
