October 24, 2004
Halloween is so close...and we have lots planned. Tuesday we are going to a Halloween at the YMCA, Thursday I am going with James' class to the pumpkin patch, and Sarurday we have a party in Downtown McKinney to go to. Then Sunday its the obvious- trick-or-treating!!
James III told me, "Mom, you need to go to every store until you find me a spider man costume". I just looked at him and told him he was going to be the dinosaur for Halloween. But, his dad saw a spiderman costume at Toys 'R' Us, and got it for him. I have to say we have gotten our $20 worth, he wore that thing to bed when we gave it to him. He was so excited.
Benjamin and Madeline are still going to be the cheerleader and football player, although they refuse to try on their costumes. I guess we'll see how it goes Tuesday.
James III has an appoinment tuesday to check his kidneys, he was born with hydronephrosis. If this visit shows that it hasn't worsened than I think it will be the last one.
Madeline's hair is finally begining to grow. We started putting conditioner in it and that has helped to. It was just sticking up wild for a long time there.
Benjamin fell and bumped his head on the wall and ended up in the ER. They didn't stitch it, but they used some type of medical glue. While we were there we walked up to the newborn nursery and NICU. It feels so strange to be there. If we have any more I pray that they are healthy enough to go right to the newborn nursery, I would love that experience again.
Luke is cute as always. All of the kids love to halp me take care of him. His eyes are so blue right now, I hope they stay like that. I love looking at Ben's beautiful blue eyes.
If anyone has any ideas for a Christmas present for Benjamin I would love suggestions!
