Here I am blogging, kids asleep, husband away for the weekend, and it's finally time for me to relax. Things have gotten much better with Charlie, and he finally got some medicine and seems to have kicked his sickness. It still seems like it really jet depends on the day if Charlie is going to take a few long naps, or just cat-nap all day. The days are much easier when he takes longer stretches of naps and it gives me more time to get stuff done, spend time with Kenley, and he is easier to take out. Or, there are days like today when I have to eat lunch in 5 minutes, get off the treadmill 5 times during a 30 minute run, and let Kenley watch too many cartoons. Yesterday, I took them both to story time at the library, and it was great! I think we will be going back there really soon, and we finally got a library card.
We had a great time on Halloween, even though the weather wasn't great. I got to go to preschool with Kenley for her party. It was so cute to finally put a face to all of her friends that she talks about. We might be in trouble though because most of them seem to be boys! Hmmmmm....
Kenley had so much fun answering the door for our tick-or-treaters, and didn't seem to mind one bit that we waited around for a while since Ray got stuck in bad traffic on the way home. She had a blast going around our neighborhood, and would scream "trick-or-treat" at the top of her lungs, many times even before the person answered the door. She got tons of candy, and I've been taking handfuls out of her bag each day and hiding it away so she won't notice. We also stopped by my sister's house and were able to get some of my favorite pictures of her & Kayla. Unfortunately, getting Charlie in too was pretty much impossible, but one of these days we will try for one of all 3 of them.
Over the weekend, we went to Greg's bodybuilding competition to cheer him on. He worked his ass off preparing for this and has had the dedication of a saint with working out and following a strict diet. Then, Ray and I went to one of his co-worker's weddings at the Knickerbocker Hotel. We had such a fun night, but definitely paid for it on Sunday. Luckily, I got myself together to go to one of my best friend's baby shower! Joan's baby boy is due in December, and I am so excited that we will have boys just a few months apart. It is so awesome that my pregnancy overlapped with all 3 of my best friend's pregnancies this year. Now we all get to experience motherhood together and can really relate to one another.
Well, it's 10pm, and I'm already ready for bed. I know Charlie will be calling for me soon, so I'm about to get as much sleep as possible!
