What's been going on...

During breakfast this morning, Sawyer was telling me about the decorations that he wanted to get to decorate the yard for Halloween.

"We can get some spiders to hang from the trees and some spooky pumpkins. Oh! And we need to get those 10 Commandment things that Moses had too!"

I guess we need to have a little chat about the difference between the stone tablets of the commandments and gravestones....

We are having a little bit of a late start to fall but I'm not one to complain! It was 78 degrees out yesterday! It  was just beautiful! I would love for it to stay this nice until Halloween so we aren't freezing our toes off while out trick or treating! 

We went to our very first Parent Teacher Conference the other night and it went GREAT! Sawyer's teacher, Mrs. Johnson is very pleased with where he is at and says he is such a JOY to have in class! Wahoo! I didn't realize how busy our schedules would get once he started school! It's been a never ending stream of class mate's birthday parties, fall festivals, conferences, class Halloween parties, fund raisers ect. It's been busy, but I am LOVING it! 

Sawyer has fallen in LOVE with all things Star Wars! He just started watching the movies a few weeks ago and has a Star Wars Lego game on the Wii. So it was no surprise that he wanted to be Darth Vador for Halloween! He could barely keep it together when his costume arrived in the mail :) And our little Raylan is sure to be the cutest little Yoda you'll ever see!!!

I was walking by Raylan's room the other day to find the two of them just chillin' out in his crib! 

Let's talk about Raylan shall we? Why yes, we shall!

Raylan is getting so big! He is at that adorable, squeezable chubby stage and we are loving it! He also has been showing us all how much he loves us by squeezing everything he can get his hands on. Those chubby little fingers are like the jaws of death! He really likes to go for your eye lashes, bottom lip, back of your neck and your hair. He then proceeds to squeal like a little taradactle at dog maddening decibels. 

Let's talk about baby poop. Yesterday when we pulled up to the front of church, I reached in to pull Raylan out of his car seat and just knew it was bad. I had just jammed my hand into a large pool of yellow mustard poop that had worked it self all the way up to the back of Raylan's neck. Yup, it was lovely. So I just grabbed the whole seat out and made a bee line for the nursery. Our nursery ladies are pretty much the bomb in my book-they scooped Raylan right up, whisked him to the back and into a sink of warm water. They also made it their mission to clean his car seat and have it dried out by the end of the service! And of course during all of this, Raylan looks so very pleased with himself, you would have thought he had solved world hunger. 

We are gearing up to celebrate Sawyer's 6th Birthday on Thursday! I cannot believe how old he is getting!
