Bryson had a great birthday this month. He had a car cake and a car pinata. His best friends came over (the Blickenstaffs, Cales and Bernie and Denise). He recently qualified for the special education program in our school district and he loves it. He qualified in the area of social skills. He is very excited to take the bus, he will be going on the bus for the first time tomorrow (early 7:15!). I hope I can get him up that early. He is very interested in letters and their sounds. His favorite programs are word world and super why (they teach early reading skills). He even likes to practice writing his letters. He will sit at the table and practice for at least 15 min.(I never thought he's sit still that long).
Kyle is doing great, he moved up to the next class at daycare and we are going to start working on potty training while Bryson is at school. He had a few successful trials, but nothing consistent. His favorite movie is Dumbo. He breaks out crying during the scene when dumbo and his mother are separated, it's adorable! He can jump much better, he can get a few inches under his feet now.
We went to a pumpkin patch and took a hayride out to pick out pumpkins. Kyle loved the hayride and cried when we got off. The boys even helped to carve their pumpkins this year. Bryson wanted his pumpkin smiling.They also helped to make the scarecrow which Bryson named Ernie. Every night we take a "train" ride outside to light the pumpkins.
Ken has been working on a swing set/play structure for the boys using left over lumber. It's going pretty well, but we've still had to buy quite a bit of stuff, it's amazing how it all adds up. No wonder they are so expensive to buy!
Ken and I are trying to shape up a bit. We are taking a yoga class once a week and I love it! I have also started running. I ran the Portland "run like hell" race last weekend and had a great time. It was a 5k (3miles) and everyone was in costume.I went with our friends Cory and Melissa and their kids. The theme was zombies, so I painted my face like a zombie. I'm considering working up to a half marathon for the spring. It's going pretty well, I've been able to run up to 4 miles so far!
