We basically had to wrestle JOey to get his halloween costume on, and we still couldn't get the pants on. But we were able to hit a couple houses on our street.
Kelly and I dressed up for work as pirates. I had to trade my boots for a pair of Nike's at about 3:00. I was a pirate on the run... hahhaha
Leo stopped by with his mom and dad and baby Clark. Leo calls Joey, Joey Hey-Ho (Aho). He was a construction worker from Hoover Construction.
Joey in action......
Well it's been a while since we had a play date. The last one we were supposed to have, Julie had to cancel to have baby Clark. The boys have gotten a lot busier! Katie, Will, Me, Joey, Jules, Clark and Leo. We hosted at our house and had a fun time!
The convertible crib has been converted! Joey was successful in climbing out of his crib last night, not so successful in the landing. There were a few tears. Today's mission, get Joey to stay and sleep in his bed. Daddy was successful!!
Derek went to Best Buy today and purchased a new HP desktop computer. So now I have to try and figure out how to use it!! Above is JOey's new potty chair. As you can see he's finding multiple uses for it.
JUst playing in the leaves!
Joey's helping Grandma B with her crutches. The MD told mom to try and ween off her crutches over the weekend. She still has the staples in, and those will come out Monday. She's off of work until Nov 1st, but she is doing well. Keep on truck'n Grandma!!!
While Grandma has been forced to elevate and ice her leg, she was able to knit Joey a new winter hat!!
Joey had fun running through the pile!
Daddy carved Joey's pumpkin the other night. Every time he comes down from upstairs he gets so excited! It has been so fun experiencing things through a child's eyes.
Drew and Hailey were working on their pumpkins when we were over. Joey helped clean some pumpkin guts, and Derek helped draw Drew's face design.
No, we still don't have a new computer, so I'm blogging at my brother-in-law's. I was so proud when Joey could put pennies in his piggy bank.... the start of his college fund....
Mommy accidentally spilled some noodles, so we let Joey play with them. It entertained him long enough for Derek and I to enjoy supper together! He was having fun stirring, scooping and pouring.
Joey's new hat!
Our big project! Derek and I bought new storm and front/back doors. My dad was awesome in installing them. Unfortunately, besides spilling noodles in the above picture.. i may have not measured the front door, therefore ordering the wrong size... Dad and I had to run back to Lowes in Hibbing to exchange the ordered door for the right size. So we had a wide open door for about 2 hours. Thankfully.....
We got it in (Dad got it in), and i've got 2 coates of paint on it. Thanks dad for installing and thanks mom for watching Joey. Mom is doing well with her ACL surgery, except when she took the bandage off the first time, she almost passed out and had to go lay down for a 1/2 hr. This woman draws blood for a living!!! =)
