So today Scott leaves and heads off to Montana for the whole month of October, and part of November. It has been a crazy weekend getting things ready for his little excursion. And I'm hoping I can stay busy this month and it will go faster...? Please?Scott will be living it up in a little trailer outside the clinic with the shower & washer and dryer inside the clinic:) Atleast there's heat and a small fridge. Hopefully he can get some studying done and his second draft on his senior paper while hes away.. We are sure going to miss him. Scott will miss Spencer's birthday this week, so we celebrated as a family last night. Spencer chose cheeseburgers and chips with a vanilla cake. Nice and simple, it was great. We opened presents early and he loved his bumblebee transformer from his Daddy, his clay art kit, and a lunch box so he can take cold lunch a couple of days a week. Cameron gave him a mater bubble bath car, and Travis gave him a Dr.Suess book. Wish my camera wasn't dead! We will celebrate on his birthday as well, by taking treats to school and maybe doing a special movie night or something. It is a little bit different, but you do what you can. Spencer sure felt special having an early birthday because his daddy wanted to spend it with him. I cant believe he will be 7! wow. Time flies and keeps going faster.
A little update on the rest of us:
Cameron is loving preschool and I am told that all the girls are fighting over who gets to marry him. He is still a picky eater and doesn't eat much. He starts swim lessons tomorrow morning and I hope he will do well. he is very nice and helpful and a very good rhymer. He loves to play the game and you give him a word and the word he chooses to rhyme has to begin with an H. for example, what rhymes with book? hook. wrw pool? hool. wrw bed? head. It is quite funny, and we do try to stay away from words like bell and door.:) Cameron's getting really good at writing his name and his counting is up to 30.
Travis is 15months old now and walks everywhere. He tries running but either face plants, or balances with his arm up. He loves music and is very curious. He loves to roam the pantry to play in it or destroy it:) He says mom for mom, and mom for more. Dad, happy, hi. And he signs more and is starting to wave more. he is a pure joy.his smile lights up his whole face and those dimples are to adorable.
Spencer's in first grade, and I was able to switch him out of his class(due to another child in that classroom), and he seems to be enjoying it. His favorite subject is P.E. and he is learning addition and subtraction in math. He will be starting 1st grade basketball in November, and he is very excited. Spencer is very tenderhearted and sweet. He is always picking flowers for me and is really into drawing, so theres usually a picture a day. Love it.
I am 24.5 weeks prego. I am doing pretty well. I feel like I got bigger faster with my 4th, and I am sick once a week which isnt so bad, unless it happens while your driving...:( I have had two choice experiences like that this last month. One I was able to pull over and get out. The other I tried pulling off up by campus and found myself in student zone. They were everywhere and I couldnt even get past to find a parking spot... So thankful for that empty cup...anyways, other than that no complaints. No names yet either. Ive used a lot of my boy names and need some inspiration I guess.
Thats whats going on here.loving life and keeping busy.
I love the idea of your kids getting each other presents. Hope you guys are okay through the month. I wish I was there to help!
ReplyDeleteGood luck Scott!! You need to post some more pics of the boys Katy!! :)
ReplyDeleteI have the baby name book that you gave us. I could tell you all the names you underlined. Maybe it'll stir up some ideas. :)
