Trick-or-Treat!

Whew! What a weekend! Halloween weekend was quite eventful. After a long night on Friday night listening to the dueling pianos at Hey Joe's and celebrating my birthday (the big 2-7)we had to take Sherrod to get lots and lots of sugar! Originally we were planning on taking Carlisle but since the weather has been so crazy, we decided it would be best for her to stay in and watch the Bulldogs WIN with her daddy. She was supposed to be a ballerina, but with all the spitting up she does, I didn't bother putting on her costume. So this year, Candice and I took Sherrod and Hudson. Sherrod was Rocky Balboa and Hudson was the cutest little Indian I've ever seen! When we got Sherrod's costume, Russell wanted to spray his hair black, but I just couldn't stand the thought of doing anything to that pretty white hair of his. And I told him it just wouldn't look right with black hair and very fair skin-so daddy dearest's idea: "Just get Candice to give him a spray tan..." HA! So needless to say, Sherrod was Rocky Balboa, the "Irish" stallion-even though his robe said Italian. The boys had such a good time! Happy Halloween!

Sleepy Time

Bath Time

Bath time has really turned into swim time at our house. After Trick or Treating, Sherrod and Hudson were some dirty boys, so they played in the tub for quite awhile! Not to be a sicko, but we thought their little booties were cute :)

Baby Einstein

Baby Carlisle loves her some Baby Einstein (and so do I)! Even Sherrod loves it. He says "I wanna watch the baby movie." Glad they aren't fighting over which movie to watch yet! However, they are fighting over the boppy pillow!

Lately...

So since we added baby Carlisle to our family, life has been super busy! She is growing like a weed-almost 9 weeks already! She'll be getting her 8 week shots on Tuesday (boo!) and we have LOTS of questions for the pediatrician. Just as we did with Sherrod, she is having to try every kind of formula out there because nothing seems to work-not even the expensive "liquid gold" as my doctor calls it. Poor baby girl! But she is beginning to smile a good bit :)
Sherrod has been a great big brother. I thought when we came home from the hospital that it was going to be rough considering he loved to hit her but daddy dearest put a stop to that quickly! Now he always wants to know where she is and why she isn't going somewhere that he is. He loves holding her hands and playing with her feet. Sweet boy! I can't wait til they can actually play together and communicate with each other!
Two healthy babies-God sure has been good to our family!

Best Buddies

This little boy has been in lots of my previous posts. Sherrod and Hudson absolutely love playing together. Last week their school went to the PDS pumpkin patch to pick out a pumpkin. I didn't get to attend since I just started back to work from maternity leave, so thanks Candice for the pictures! We also took the boys to the air show in Merigold where they could see old fighter planes and ride on a hayride. They had lots of fun and we finished at Locals where they got to pick out and paint a pumpkin. It was a wonderful, relaxing weekend with perfect weather!

Jackson Street Fall Festival and State Fair

We went down to visit my parents a couple of weeks ago so that Sherrod could go to the Fall Fest in Ridgeland and to the Mississippi State Fair. He had a blast! He was able to ride a train, paint pumpkins, ride a pony and more at the Fall Fest. It was a bit chilly, but fun for the family. We also went to the fair and I think the highlight was either the race car ride or the petting zoo. He insisted we do those twice and of course we did. I was disappointed I didn't get to eat much of the greasy fair food, but it's a little bit different with a little one wanting to go in a million different directions all at once! Can't wait for next year!
