It feels a little weird to be titling this happy Halloween, as Halloween feels like it was quite a while ago. We had a lot of Halloween stuff happen over the weekend, but it leaked into Monday as well! The Cammacks invited us over for some chili and then to trick or treat in their neighborhood. There ended up being a whole group of us, and this was Grayson's first time really getting to go! He had a lot of fun. Definitely loves when people give him candy. So far his favorites are everything we've let him try! He gets that from me. When we got back I put Grayson to bed, and then Brooke and I headed for a loop around our neighborhood.
Monica has been feeling pretty good, so I gave work a go this past week. It actually went really well. I came up to change diapers and put Grayson down for his naps, but other then that I just worked and Monica watched the kids, got them food, etc. So it seems like we'll be pretty much back to normal in the future. Monica had her 6 week follow up on Friday, and they told her she could start progressing, but listen to how she's feeling. It'll take 6 months to be fully healed, but she can start increasing how much she does so long as she feels okay doing it. So no dead lifts with Grayson or anything, but if he'll climb a chair, etc. then she can pick him up, and she can get him in and out of the car/crib now. All of that said, I've had the occasional buddy at work. I heard the piano music and came out to see Grayson rocking on the horse while listening. What a game! Oh, and in the dark.
I wasn't around for this next one, but both girls are in there so this would be school pick up. Looks like they had some fun in the leaves before coming home. Looks like a good time! I finally raked up all our leaves and almost burst a 55 gallon bag cramming them all in. It was my last bag, so I had to make it fit...
I decided to play the piano on Saturday, and the main take away for me was that I need to play the piano more. I very much enjoyed it. Anyway, Jelly ever the lap hunter, noticed I wasn't moving and will always take a still lap when she finds one. I'd say it made things a bit more difficult.
Saturday afternoon I took Grayson on a walk, and Brooke wanted to come too. Grayson loves wandering the paths, and we headed over to see the creek. We didn't have a lot of time before dinner, so we went to the creek and turned right around.
The girls wanted to play hair stylist while calming for bed, and I was their subject. It was a lot of fun. I don't mind the bows, etc. and I thought it felt nice getting my hair brushed. We had a great time, and then they headed to bed.
Grayson and Brooke both wanted to go on a walk again, so we headed out this morning. With daylight savings it's unlikely that Grayson will get up with much light left today, so it was the morning or never. We went to the same place as yesterday, and then kept walking down the creek and exploring the trails.
We found a little overlook like place down to the creek that was very pretty. It's also kind of funny to see how green everything still is right next to the water.
Grayson's been picking up songs from nursery. He can sing Popcorn Popping now, and I don't ever remember singing that one with him. I'm glad he listens sometimes. This week when I went to get him he was sitting in the hall on a rocking dog thing. The nursery leaders said they had to take them out during singing time because the kids wouldn't do anything other then rock on them with them in the room. So at least sometimes he listens!
And that's a wrap for this week! Hope you're having a great life!
