The Montoyas visited us this weekend and we went to Apple Hill to pick out our Halloween pumpkin and eat yummy apple pie. Aiden is really excited about Halloween this year and he could not wait to carve his Jack O' Lantern with dad. We also found a praying mantis and decided that he should stay. We bought a container with crickets for Manti and both boys love feeding time. Manti loves his crickets...I guess it is all educational...but I still cannot believe we now have a pet insect!
It is wonderful to see how Aiden and Zack are starting to play together. Zack tries his best to keep up and it is so sweet to see how he tries to copy everything Aiden does. Moments like these usually end in tears caused by either party...but that is boys! Gavin and Aiden went to a high school football game on Friday night. They both had lots of fun, although Aiden knocked his chin on cement at the game, but he was very proud of his "sports" injury.
We had a busy weekend with putting down wood flooring and painting our living room. Our friend Geoff and his little girl, Haley, came to help on Saturday morning. With all the help, we had the floor done in 4 hours and it looks fabulous. I painted the walls very light green, with a contrasting wall of a darker, earthier green. We are exhausted but very satisfied and I am totally in love with our new room.
