Pumpkin Patch and Ready for Halloween!

 READY for Halloween!  I LOVE the month of October and Halloween has always been a favorite holiday of mine.  I have awesome memories of my Dad taking us trick or treating....he would always let me go for as long as I wanted....we would even stop at home and get a second bag to fill up! Our costumes were always home made....I think I was a gypsy like 5 times! That and a black cat....I seemed to have been a black cat a lot as well!  I hope my boys enjoy Halloween as much as I did/do.

 Sam is starting to smile and coo now.  It is so awesome!

 Woo hoo!  4 weeks postpartum and these are actually not maternity clothes!  Not much fits, but it is a start!

 We took a trip to Sweetberry farms with Grandma, Aunt Marci, Uncle Jeremy, and cousin Jeremiah during OU weekend since Richard was in Dallas.  The boys had a blast!  Since Sam was only a month old, I had to avoid the crowds with him and I stayed in the open fields of the farm...Marci and Jeremy took good care of August and RDH!

 Our crew of BOYS

 RDH and August with Cousin Jeremiah....he is 5 mos old

 Uncle Jeremy took August to get his face painted, this is how he emerged!  What a cool uncle!

 This is how Sam spent the day.....strapped to me!

 Riding the train.  They loved it of course!

 The next day was Georgia's 1 yr bday party.  This cake was delish!

 The boys loved playing in the backyard.

 Here is August telling me the car has no gas (ie - the battery is taken out)

Sneak peek to Halloween!  RDH is having his 2 yr bday party next week and it is a costume party :-)  we had to make sure their costumes fit.  It is now 2 days later and August has yet to take this mask off.....he wears it EVERYWHERE!  I have to keep watching him in the video camera at night or he would wear it asleep too!

BUSY!

WOW!  how is it already the end of October!  Sorry if you are waiting on an email reply or a thank you note from me....I am WAY behind on both!  But please know I am thinking of you and appreciate your thoughts!  I am been SUPER busy with work....too busy in fact.  You probably wonder why I am working - arent I on maternity leave?  Why yes, I am on leave, but I have been working since the day I got out of the hospital!  whew!!!!  and recently when putting together my Board Presentation for October 31st, I realized I have been averaging 35 hour weeks since I had Sam!  YIKES  No wonder I am really tired.  That and oh yeah - I have three boys :-)  But I love the Company I work for and there are some exciting things going on with it....and usually exciting equates to BUSY! 
I need to put the pumpkin patch pictures up from the other weekend...the Boys had a blast out there! 

Sam 2 weeks to 1 MONTH and August/RDH updates

Sam at 2 wks old!

My boys.  August got to hold Sam this day (you will see on the birth announcements :-)  and he was SO excited!!!  He LOVES Sam....he sings to him, smiles at him, talks to him, and is very unselfish (for a 3 yr old) when it comes to Sam taking Mommy time away from him.  RDH loves to tickle Sam.  

This is a scanned in page from a book RDH made at Ginas  Here he is with all his friends.  These books are priceless!  They have pages of the boys art and favorite things!

Here are pages from August's book

August is so tall next to his friends!

Gina sent August home with this picture the other day.  August and RDH are becoming very good playmates

Sam with a sweet little smile....in the same frog outfit that was worn by both his brothers.  Sam is starting to smile and coo....I love it!

Here Sam is busting out of his 0-3 month clothes!  He is a chunky little guy!  I am so sad to pack up all the newborn and some of the 0-3 mo clothes!  I can't believe how big he is!

Sam at 1 mo!  Sam turned one month on the day I turned 35 YIKES!  We have his apt tomorrow so I will post stats later.  he nurses good - still every 2-3 hours.  the longest stretch of sleep he has done is 4 hours and that has only been once!  Hopefully he will start sleeping longer at night soon...because I am tired!
