Happy Halloween!!

What an original title?! We hope everyone had a fun and safe Halloween!! We had a great day. This afternoon Blake and I went to a party with our New Mom's group. It was a lot of fun and boy are our kids cute! I unfortunately forgot my camera, so hopefully a few of the mom's will email me some pictures. There's been quite a change from our Halloween party last year. Last year the kids weren't mobile, but this year they're all over the place and some are fighting over toys!! Makes it a bit more interesting of a party! After the Halloween party we came home and waited for Cal and my parents to arrive. Cal had to stop and buy more Halloween candy, as we'd put a bit of a "dent" in what we had. My parents came over and played with Blake for awhile and took some pictures. He was putting on quite the performance! Then Cal and I took Blake to his godparents house and when we got home Cal took Blake around to a few of the neighbours' houses and I handed out candy and made supper. Blake was pretty tired by the time he got back so we had supper and the little monster went to bed! It was a fun day :) Too bad they only wear their costumes for the day - they look so cute in them! I was quite surprised that Blake didn't try and take off his costume at all. I thought for sure he'd be trying to take the hood off!! Not too much else is new. I did the gestational diabetes test on Thursday. It wasn't quite as bad as I remember it being, but I think that may be because with Blake I was a lot more sick and I remember trying my hardest not to throw up while drinking the sugary orange stuff! This time it was still gross, but not as bad as I remembered! I have a Dr. appointment on Monday afternoon and Blake has his 18 month Pediatrician appointment on Tuesday afternoon. We'll see how much he weighs now! He certainly feels quite heavy. We were discussing our children's sizes when we met up with our New Mom's group at the play gym last week and everyone was quite surprised to hear that Blake weighed 26 lbs!! He still looks skinnier than most of the kids, but weighs more! Not sure where he keeps his weight?! On Friday (Nov. 7) I'm taking Blake for his 18 month photos at Sears in the a.m. and then in the afternoon we're going wedding dress shopping with Lindsay!! Yay!!! It's going to be so fun and she's going to look gorgeous :) I much prefer shopping when other people are trying on the clothes! Ha, ha, ha! Tomorrow Blake and I are meeting Lesley and Colby at the mall to start on some Christmas shopping hopefully. We've done a bit already and I hope to be done in the next few weeks. I hope Blake does okay at the mall - he's not a big fan of shopping or sitting still in his stroller! Anyways, it will be nice to see Colby, as we don't see each other that often and the boys are growing so fast. Have a great weekend everyone!! Ration that candy ... LOL!
