8 Months 10-27-2011

October is my favorite month for many reasons; OU/TX, our birthdays, leaves changing, cooler weather, pumpkin spice lattes, and Halloween. This year our typical October had some bitter sweet changes. First Richard's birthday celebration was a quick dinner and we did not go to OU-TX. A first for us in many many years. OU-TX is a right of passage. My dad went to his first game in the 5th grade, same for me, same for my bro, and I plan this to be the same for B and D. Well they sorta went  last year. I've been to every game since the 5th grade with the exception of Senior year cheerleading state and this year. So if we can't go to the fair we will bring the fair here. Our gates opened at 10am, kickoff at 11 and friends came over. Blake and Dax were on their best behavior and the Sooners kicked arse. A great day for Sooner football even though we were at home.


We took the kids to the pumpkin patch for pictures. They had a blast looking and touching all the pumpkins. The distraction of pumpkins made it a little difficult to get some shots but they loved every moment of it. 


Ball scratching:
We all see men scratching their balls or from time to time checking to make sure they are still there. You think to yourself my lord they are not leaving so what is it about the man and his balls. Well from what I have seen this month this ball thang begins at a very young age. Mr. Dax has found them. Every bath what does the child do? He grabs his balls. At first I thought oh this is a coincidence but this it is not. My son loves his balls.

Happy Halloween: Two scary skeletons traveled to NYC. They saw snow for the first time and we had a blast. They were so excited to visit their friend Knox that they were perfect angels on the flight out. On the way home however that was a different story. Sweet Blake got sassy and screamed a majority of the flight home.

Cobra Kai Dax and Cobra Kai Blake or "Ali, Ali with an I"

Both kids love to take stroller rides there is just something about being outside they go quiet and it's the perfect medicine for when they are upset. I bought a book full of songs and games and we play all of them. Their favorite is the coo coo clock game. They love it when daddy gives out kiss attacks.
