Mustache

it started out around halloween when scott realized, the day of, that he should have dressed up as commissioner gordon to go with sawyer's batman costume. it was too late for him to grow a mustache, but the thought never left his mind. well, one day last month he decided to go for it. he shaved off his goatee and started the process of growing a mustache. well, by the middle of december he realized that he hated the way that it felt on his lips and it hadn't grown in a full as he wanted it to . . . so he shaved it off . . . but not before we got some cheesy pictures. . .enjoy!

Preggo Pictures

so we have made it to december and we realized that we hadn't taken a single picture of my big belly. when my friend amanda came over to make cookies we took the opportunity to snap a few. the baby was riding really high.
only a little longer until we have our baby girl. we are getting excited to see what she looks like. my non-stress tests and the many ultrasounds that i have already shown us that she is going to be a hand full. she moves a ton, i have to warn the nurses who are trying to monitor her heartbeat that she will move a lot and she never disappoints. only about a week and a half to go!

November

we have been really blessed so far with a child that is well behaved (most of the time). most parents have to worry when their child is quiet for too long, but we have never had that worry. when sawyer is quiet for too long, we usually find him playing in his room. that is. . .until now. one relaxing day in november sawyer went into the bathroom to wash his hands. well, he did wash his hands, but he also found his hair wax and decided to do his hair. when scott found him, he was so excited to show us his hair. he was so proud of what he had done, that we couldn't discipline him. he did a great job, right?
on thanksgiving morning we made cinnamon rolls. sawyer has been wanting to help with everything, so he was proud to show off his roll arranging skills.

i then attempted to make a small thanksgiving dinner for our family and scott's mom. out of all the things that i made, i had only previously made the rolls. this was my first attempt at a turkey, i think it turned out well. everything was delicious, if i say so myself.

Halloween

halloween is definitely sawyer's favorite holiday. he is still talking about it! we carved pumpkins. (i got the good one...scott's pumpkin guts were gross and slimy.) sawyer helped design and attempted to help carve. he was more interested in trying on his costume and running around the house, posing as batman. you should see him in action. he's got the moves down.
here are our finished pumpkins.
on halloween sawyer went to preschool and had a parade around a few of the high school classrooms. then they partied! i had the usual parade and party at school also. i decided to not dress up this year. i didn't want to make or buy a pregnant costume. right after school we went to amanda's house for trick-or-treating. it is becoming a tradition. we had two batmans! these are koren's little ones. (sawyer is second from the left.)

not bad for a put together costume, huh?

he wore his costume every day after school for about two weeks and still puts on the cape and mask several times a week. he loves dressing up and running around like a super hero. we feel very protected from any super villains that may come our way.
