Chili Party & Corn Maze

At Aunt Brenda's Chili Party we dressed up the twins as Thing 1 and Thing 2. J was a Pirate.
After having some yummy chili and donuts we went to the Corn Maze in Syracuse.
Here are 7 of the grand kids. Camden, Tanner, Caleb, Jakub, J, Rylie, and James. Wyatt and Lucy were in strollers.
All the kids loved the slides. Here is one of the smaller ones. Perfect for James and Jakub.

The THINGS playing in the ghost.
James waved at everyone he passed on the train. Jakub cried when he got out and the train drove away without him.
By the end of the day the blue hair and mustache were fading, but not the smiles. We all had a great time. Thanks to Grandma Mills for a fun family day.

Pumpkin Bash

It was a again other year that I didn't win the pumpkin bash. But I don't care I had a lot of fun. This year my team was.....Jim, Kenny, Brandon, and Preston. We were in the craft room. I wish there was a picture of our pumpkin with the lights off because it was really cute. We used glow sticks for the ears and the tongue.

My mom and Ina played with all the kids making play dough pumpkins and coloring pumpkins, while the adults were in 3 teams creating. It so great to enjoy the game and not worry about my boys.
Dad and Uncle B tallied the votes. And the winner is......the team from the garage. They gave a POWERFUL performance.

Treats

I just finished the apple treats for the pumpkin bash tonight. I made some with chocolate and granola, some with whipped cream frosting and chocolate chips, and the 3rd kind is chocolate peanut butter.
I cut up some apples and dipped them in the chocolate peanut butter for Jakub,
and James. They would suck of the chocolate and give me back the apple and say. "More"

Give Thanks

The Amoxicillin is doing it's job.....4 ears are recovering......2 boys starting to get off mom's lap and play a little bit more.



Yes, my 19 month old twins still take a bottle at bedtime. I know I am a bad mom......James has to be holding a blanket or shirt sleeve when he is having his bottle and falling to sleep.
After 10 days with only 3 shoes to fill 4 feet..... I am happy to report.... I found the missing shoe.

ER

So last night we ended up in the ER with James. The Dr. found double ear infections. While James had a chest x-ray, I walked over to the Nursing Home to visit my Grandma. She was having a bad day and started to cry. She is so worried about crying in front of anyone. I took her it was ok, I cry too. When I got back to the ER, I walked into the room and James reached for me and started to scream. The cries didn't get any better, because with in minute we were holding him down while they took 2 blood samples out of his arm. I love to watch blood being drawn, but it was hard to see James so unhappy. As we waited for results I walked up and down the hall with James. He didn't want to go back in that room. Good news.....x-ray looked good. Blood test "fairly dry" but dehydration is not to the point that IV was needed. We went home with antibiotic and orders to get him to drink.

It was another sleep less night for me. But the fever is down this morning and he drank milk and ate some bread for breakfast. Hopefully we are on the way to recovery. I got my primary music covered for today, so I am going to send John, J and Jakub to church and maybe I will get a nap. LOL
