Happy Halloween Eve!!

One of the perks of Luke being in daycare- all the fun stuff they do!! I love all the cool artwork he brings home everyday and especially love the parties they have! Oh, and I'm probably one of the coolest classroom moms... seriously!

Look what I made for all of Luke's friends today for their Halloween party!

 

Trick-or-treating at school with his friends!

 

"fill 'er up!"

 

 

 

 

Party's over, mom.... Let's go!!

 

This was so much fun- I can't imagine how much fun trick-or-treating will be tomorrow!!!



Another Batson Trip

One thing I have learned as a Mama... never make plans.Why? Because something is always going to come up... always. Like, for instance, we were supposed to take Luke to the Hayride/Tent or Treat Fall Fest at church Sunday evening. Well, Luke had some kind of craziness going on with his leg. when I say craziness... the poor kid couldn't even walk on his right leg. He kept falling down and limping. We noticed this on Saturday and he was still doing it Sunday. Sooo... when we realized it wasn't going to get any better Kyle decided we would head to Batson after we dropped Ashlyn off.

X-Rays came back that everything was fine- no broken bones or messed up hips. Kyle got to be the bad guy and hold him down for that : (

 Next step- blood work. UGH... the dreaded blood work. Poor baby. That absolutely breaks my heart when they give him an I.V., so I sat in the hallway and cried while daddy had to be the bad guy again and hold him down : (  (but Daddy is much better at that since he deals with blood, needles and stuff everyday...stuff I can't handle!)

Blood work came back and his white blood count was very high which meant an infection somwhere .. They determined it's a viral infection and he has what's called Transient Synovitis (go figure... Only Luke would have something crazy like that!) And yeah, I had to google it ha. If you don't want to google it- it means that it's hip/joint inflammation and pain due to an infection in the body. It should heal on its own in a couple days (we hope!) Now we just wait and see if we can get the blood count down.

If there is something out there... Luke is going to have it ; ) This child keeps me on my toes. I sure hope this isn't any indication of terrible teenage years!!!

Btw- Blair E. Batson is a wonderful hospital for chidlren. The sweet nurses and doctors took great care of us and were all so nice!

Daddy made Luke a "ball" with a glove... The two of them played ball most of the afternoon-best entertainment!!

Such a trooper

So since we had to miss all the fun at the church fall fest, we are going to make Halloween extra special for my sweet baby boy! Maybe we can convince his Papaw to hook the trailor to the 4 wheeler and make him his own special hayride for Trick or Treating!

pleeeeease, Papaw?!?!

Tailgating With the Golden Eagles!!

Saturday was full of tailgating with Luke's Uncle D and the other Southern Miss guys!  Luke had a blast running around playing and driving the golf cart all around campus!! His crazy Mama only packed pants and it was HOT...SO  HOT... So Luke just ran around in a t-shirt and diaper.

Hey, don't judge... you would have to!

 

 

watching the big boys

 

"My Uncle D is so much fun!"

 

 

 

 

 

 



Pumpkin Patch and Fair pics

Finally.... I'm just now able to catch up on pics from our family fun weekend to the pumpkin patch and fair last weekend! 

 

Of course Luke never looks at the camera anymore.

 

I think we'll dump the sand out of Luke's sandbox and put corn in it instead. He LOVED playing in this stuff!

 

cutest pumpkin and sunflower in the patch!

 

These two had a blast!

 

Two peas in a pod

 

Well, it's Friday night and not even 10:00 and I'm ready for bed.... so sad!

Looks like this little guy played hard today...He couldn't even make it through supper.

 



Happy birthday to my hunky hubby!

What better way to celebrate a birthday than a day at the pumpkin patch, the fair and lunch at Logan's Roadhouse.... All with your wife and kids!! I think it's safe to say Kyle had a fun b-day weekend ( Pics coming soon!)

 

Luke and I went to the station today to give Kyle his homemade bday card and a blizzard from Dairy Queen!!

 

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KYLE!!

WE LOVE YOU!!!!!

 

 

Just some fun Sunday art with my boy!!

 

 



The Fair 2012

This was Luke's second year (well third if you count the year he was in my belly helping me eat all the yummy food!) to go to the Fair! Last year he was only 5 months old and had no clue what was going on... but this year was different. He had a BLAST!!! Thank goodness for his Papaw going so that he could take him on all the rides. Thank you, Papaw!

All the fun rides, the giant yellow slide, petting zoo, corn dog, french fries, cinnamon donuts, lemonade and cotton candy = One happy, stuffed and exhausted little boy! (Mama and Daddy, too!)

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm not sure who had more fun... Papaw or Luke?  ; )
