Haus House: October/November 2012

Halloween: Duncan went trick or treating with Gabi and the girls. The babies did not go because it was chilly and we did not want to get them off schedule! Amazing what getting off schedule does to this house! Duncan went as a bear again. This will be the last year he can fit into that costume! I sure got my moneys worth, paid a whole $1 for it a garage sale!

Ethan and Owen went for their check up with Dr. Clevena. He said just keep having them wear their glasses and he will see them in 6 months. If the muscle in the eye is not better he will send us to the peds guy and see if they need surgery. Owen is wearing his glasses more, thank goodness.

I ran/walked in the living history farms race, it was lots of fun! Maybe again next year!

For Thanksgiving we went to Abby and Rodney's house for dinner. It was beautiful outside. The big and little kids played outside before dinner and then we went for a walk after dinner. It took a long time to get around the block with everyone walking. The kids love to walk now! It was a no nap kind of day so Tracy and I brought the little kids home and put them to bed at 5ish, and I went back to Abby's and played games. Duncan was playing with Hannah too. We came home early evening and went to bed!

The babies are 2! They aren't really babies anymore, but that is what I will always call them! We had a little party with the family and Roxie. It was fun. They loved the frosting on the cup cakes that Aunt bought them. They also loved Taylor's cake too! Thank goodness they went right to sleep at bed time.

Olivia went to the NICU for her follow up, of course she wouldn't do anything they wanted her to! She wouldn't talk, run, jump or stack blocks. The nurse was concerned, and said she could see her in 6 months. She suggested the AEA come once a month for a few months to see just were Olivia is at. They come next month so I will ask them then. Of course with in the next couple of days she is doing everything she wouldn't do there! She is stubborn!

I have worked a few shifts lately too, it is always nice to see everyone at work!

We went and got family pictures done and then went out to eat. It went very well! The kids all did well, and they sat down when we needed them too. Dinner at Applebees went well too, for no high chairs. I decided to let them sit in the booth since we got rid of the booster seats at home! (They are still sitting next to the kitchen table just in case!) The kids all do pretty well sitting on the chair to eat. They all 5 are getting big and growing up way to fast.
