Buddies

They are both asleep here on this pallet. I am pretty sure Andrew will be 40 sleeping like this. He is always soaking wet with sweat. I should probably stop bathing him at night because he is going to start smelling worse than a normal boy soon.

This is the new gym where I go. Andrew hardly ever gets to go but Ryan really wanted him to see the shows they have there. At least its a room and not the couch like the last place ended!

                               
              Special Mommy-son lunch date with Andrew one day while he was out of school and Ryan had school

Ryan 'dis is my boat mom'

Ryan and his buddies Ryan and Olivia.

 Our friends Kathy and Jeremy are expecting their first baby in January and had a shower here in the city. Jeremy's mom made us this beautiful quilt for baby #3! So nice!

 Andrew and a lot of his friends on the tire swing

First snow of the season. Yes, you are looking correctly, Ryan is not wearing a coat. It is like pulling teeth. Pick your battles right?

 First Hot Chocolate of the season, and now it is a daily request….

                                           Happy Birthday to my Daddy today too!!

Last Day of Soccer!

Our fall season with Simply Sports Soccer has come to an end.  The last 10 Saturdays have been consumed with rushing out the door at 8am to go watch Andrew gaze at the clouds above. Chris told him this was his last week and he HAD to help his team out to get his trophy. He actually participated. Maybe I should have trophies made for each game?!  He always said he had fun and really that is all that matters. I am not sure if he learned anything about the sport or not, but he says he wants to play again next year-guess we will wait and see!

A trophy and chocolate chip cookie-is there anything better?

Hit a snag

Trying to figure out how to free up some space because I am apparently full! I even deleted my Picasa account and that hasn't worked-more to come soon!

Leaves, leaves, leaves

It really is amazing how once you get away from something you forget how you loved it. The boys wanted to jump in the leaves so bad we were raking them with our feet to make piles. The only bad part about doing it in Central Park is that you have NO clue what could be in there!

                                                           Pure Excitement!

Hurricane Sandy

Wow. What a scary experience! Luckily, we were not affected really at all. We had some crazy wind and a little bit of rain, but that was it! The biggest thing we are seeing now is that all the parks are still closed and they aren't picking recycling up yet. We feel very fortunate that we never lost power or anything. We spent the week Andrew was then given off doing LOTS of crafts and running the halls.

                                               "Car" Washing= soaking the floor and bodies

                                              Baking soda volcanoes turned cover your arms

                                     These thankful turkeys took FOREVER because of the paint. But they are super cute now as they are adding feathers everyday.

                                                     Playing with candy

                                    Handprint crafts with Ryan and counting candy corn with Andrew

                                     The current situation with recycling-EVERYWHERE

It is funny when Andrew is watching the news because he will give me a complete run down of what is happening with the clean up efforts. Hand gestures and all.

SC trip and Baby Benjamin

I finally made it down to SC for a short visit to meet Baby Ben and see my family. Hopefully we will get to visit around the holidays, but we aren't 100% sure yet!

Look at this sweet boy!! He was mostly a snoozer while I was visiting (trying to make up for keeping everyone up during the night I hear!) Such a sweetheart!

I can't believe this is the only picture I got of the kids! Guess I was sidetracked without my own! 

Thursday evening Evan told me they had a surprise for me on Saturday but he couldn't tell me what. They each got baby Semesky a gift and yummy cake. So sweet! 

                                                      Dad and Sherri

                                              Baby Momma Rebecca

                                                   Happy Birthday to my Momma Diane!!

                                                               Tracy

Week 26.5.  Pretty sure I'll be a house and a half in another 13 weeks!! And I thought I was big with the boys!!
