And baby makes 5: FALLing more often....

Home from vacation and Fall is in full swing.

Am finally over the hump of feeling nauseous and tired, so it's time to have fun. Now that I feel good, I have made it my mission to go to the gym every Monday when both kids are in school. I am and will stick with it. Feels so good to run on the treadmill, and release tension. I usually get 3 miles in, and then do some arm exercises. Luckily I don't look pregnant enough to get many side eye looks at the gym just yet. The kids have named the baby "Cookie". Anytime they refer to my belly or the baby they call baby B, cookie, kinda cute. Wonder if it'll stick once Baby B #3 comes out.

Late October Bump

The weeks seem to be flying by with Ashlyn in school 3 days a week, ballet, and gymnastics. Austin has quickly adjusted to school, and we don't have tears at drop off. He goes NUTS when he sees me at pick up though, jumping up and down with excitement. Glad it only took a few weeks for him to want to go to school. He LOVES Miss Amy, talks about her all the time, think he might have his first crush.

And the weekends are filling up with fun activities like Bengals games and hayrides. This time of year makes me so happy, sunny days, cool nights, light jackets, crisp apples, pumpkin carving, school parties, zoo visits, and Halloween.

And of course it wouldn't be October without Halloween. Ashlyn got a bride costume for her birthday, so she decided she'd like to be a bride for Halloween. Sweet, no added cost of a costume for me, done! Now, what to dress Austin up as? Every bride needs a groom of course. I know.... I really did it... It's a bit crazy. I made my kids, brother and sister, a bride and groom. It was sooo cute and will only work at this stage in life, so why not?!?! Cutest bride and groom i've EVER had for sure. And Austin in his little tuxedo (borrowed from Lisa) was a huge hit.
