$1.88

Can I just say HOORAY?!?!?!?!? Gas is $1.88 here and at a nearby town it is $1.66. I think that is pure excitement. Gas hasn't been that cheap since David and I were first married. Those were the days when we could fill up the Honda for around $20.
Welcome back $1.88. I hope we have many more blissful years together. I have a feeling though that this is only going to be a 2 or 3 month relationship. I hate $3.14.

Baby in a Bonnet

Today we took some cute pictures of baby Madilyn in her pink dress with a matching hat. She also has her baby panty-hose on. I think baby panty-hose are very funny. They don't even come close to fitting. They're so saggy and all over the place. Anyway, I loved this picture of our new baby. She's such a sweet baby and we love her!!

Things that make me smile

1. Yesterday we had doctor appointments. David #3 had to have his eyes checked as part of the routine visit. The nurse asked him to read the letters on the chart and he did it!!! I thought he would get some of the letters mixed up (just because he wouldn't know them), but he read them!! Made me happy!!

2. Tyler is so giggly and funny lately. He went through a little temper tantrum phase and I wasn't sure I was going to make it through. Since my maternity leave and return, he's just been such a giggly fun little guy. He loves to play games, and he's talking so much better. I love happy little guys!!

3. David #3 is officially a professional at writing his name. He started writing it right before he turned 4 and now he writes it on everything he can. I'm proud of this little accomplishment of his (even if I did bribe him with a trip to Chuck-E-Cheese). Here's a little sample:

4. Birthdays--We've had several birthdays lately. Tyler turned 2 on Monday and hubby David hit the big 3-0 yesterday!!!! We really had some fun parties. Tyler was SO excited. He got his very own presents and I've never seen such joy. Almost all of the toys that he plays with are David's, and he was excited to get his own tractors and trucks!!! He loved his big stack of presents.

Happy Halloween!!

We had a great Halloween. The kids wore their Halloween spider shirts all day and we enjoyed some fun activities together. We made cookies and played outside.

We then took the boys out trick-or-treating. I was planning to make Tyler a ghost, but he kept pulling the outfit off. So, he was a cowboy. He really wanted to be the dragon, but gave in when we showed him the cool hat he got to wear. These picutes aren't the best because it was so sunny outside before we left.

The best part of the night was the fact that Tyler ate his entire bag of candy. David only ate a couple of pieces. I guess we should have restricted Tyler's candy eating, because he didn't want to go to sleep last night. Lesson learned!!
