More Luke Birthday Pics

Luke's Big Birthday!

I posted these in reverse order, but Mr. Luke had a packed day. Evan had school so we did gifts in the morning and our usual story about the "Birthday Monsters" leaving balloons and getting the house ready for the big day!

Luke got a zoo car and train station for the Thomas Track from Grandma and Papa. We got him a Radio Flyer Scooter, helmet and a Lego bus he had his eye on!;)

After dropping Evan off, Daddy took Luke for donuts at their favorite place. Then Luke and I hit the Dallas Zoo till we met Jon at Purple Cow for lunch. After a big birthday nap and soccer practice, we had sliders and the fixings for dinner. Then we had Elmo cupcakes and cake...Luke had "told" all the animals at the zoo about his cake.

He did tell everyone all day that he was "fibe"! I had to remind he that he is just 2!

Happy Birthday sweet baby boy! Seems like just yesterday...

I have more pics in the next post.

Halloween

I am embarrassed to say we don't have too many Halloween pics! In our defense, just making through the day was awesome!;) We have been sick with the flu and colds/coughs for about 2 weeks. Jon got really sick last Thursday but the kids had a fun day!

Evan had a soccer game in which he scored 2 goals....I was a the doc with Luke, but he was so excited about it and is totally getting into the sports thing. Jon is super excited. Soccer is almost over but we are going to do baseball in the spring.

We had E &L's school carnival on Halloween and they both had a great time playing with all the games and their friends.

We went TOT with some friends a couple streets over and had a really good time. Evan went as Batman and Luke was the height of cuteness in his full body Elmo suit.

Evan is already asking when pumpkin time starts again....geesh!:)

Luke's Halloween Costume

Can anyone guess?;)

The Sickies Found Us!

We have been fighting the good fight but last week there were 8/12 kids out of Evan's classroom ..most with piggy flu. We thought we had dodged it but E woke up early Sunday AM with fever and had been "off" most of Saturday.

He tested negative for the flu but the doc at the after hours ped place said the test is a crapshoot at best and based on his exposure and symptoms, he probably had it.

Luke started today. Our ped is not recommending Tamiflu so we are just waiting it out. Evan seems much better today so we will see how he is for school on Thursday or Friday.

We had a great suprise today when we got Halloween treats from Great Grammy in the mail!!! The boys have their special baskets in the pics.

And yes, that is Luke with his own DVD player set-up. My kids love TV/Videos when they are sick ....and mommy is just trying to survive till we feel better!:)

Some Random Pics of the Boys

Just thought Grandma and Papa might like to see the boys!

Halloween Jammies and Orange Bathroom

Here are some pics of the new orange bathroom...per Evan's request. It actually turned out really nicely. We have done 2 painting projects inthe last month and we have 2 left (the front room and Evan's room) before our master bedroom overhaul. We are taking a break though....I need to pace Jon to keep him motivated.

The boys in their new Halloween jammies didn't turn out great but pictures after the mood swing at 4PM typically don't!:)
