Star Wars

Jango and Boba Fett are not well known in most homes but we hear about them all the time around here. They are bounty hunters in one of the Star Wars movies, maybe more than one. I really have never watched Star Wars. I am only educated by Connor who knows way more than a 3 yr. old should know about Star Wars. The boys agreed that Connor would be Boba and Jaxon would be Jango, no arguing, it was just going to be that way. We were done with Halloween fesitivities by Tuesday. We took part in the "Trick or Treat around Town" and then went on to Jaxon's fall festival. The first business we went in was the local bank, Connor immediately walked in and shouted give me all your money, I'm a bounty hunter. I thought I was going to die, he didn't even know we were in a bank. So here they are my little bounty hunters.

Pumpkin Decorating

The boys both had pumpkin decorating contests. Last Monday night, after a delightful family trip to Walmart, I decorated pumpkins for 3 hours. Jaxon got third place, He won a $10 giftcard to Alco (the rainbow walmart, as Connor calls it). I asked him if I should be the one getting the giftcard. He told me no, that the mom's and dad's are supposed to decorate the pumpkins and the kids get to keep the money. It was very obvious, both at preschool and elementary, the parents take this very seriously and the kids don't do much at all. Connor didn't win anything, and I promise, even though it is hard to tell, the scarecrow has arms.

Another Boy!

We learned Thursday that we are having another boy. I would have been very surprised had the doctor told us it was a girl, but I must say I had hoped it was. I can't complain at all. I really didn't know what all they were checking for on the midway sonogram, I really thought it was mainly to determine the sex of the child. Anyhow, the Dr. went over everything, baby's mouth, feet and hands, heart, brain and then he told me that the arrow I could see was not an arrow at all. Friends, I really wasn't sad, as much as I wanted a girl, I was so thankful for everything being perfect, as far as he could tell. So, Saturday night as Jason watched the big game I went through the single rubbermaid container of baby boy clothes I have and put the sweet little things on hangers and hung them in the closet. The room hasn't been painted, the only room in this house that remains the dingy off white from 30 years ago. Now, that I know I won't be choosing a shade of pink I want it done, yesterday. Anyhow, it is fun trying to find the perfect bedding for the final baby boy I will have, not too sissy, but something that will be really sweet for the baby I want to stay under six months forever. As for Jaxon and Connor, Jaxon was really okay that God is giving him a baby brother despite his prayer for the past 14 months for a baby sister. Connor who doesn't like babies, and doesn't like girls either, was good with the news, if it there is going to be a baby it will be okay since it is a boy. As for names, we didn't begin talking names until we knew, we had a very hard time naming Connor, Jaxon is all for Luke Skywalker and Connor says it will just be Boy. We'll keep you posted.
