A Typical Week

Our week went by fast. Here is a glimpse of what happened:
Brooklyn loves lotion and yogurt, but I think she confuses the two sometimes. Luckily, she hasn't eaten any lotion yet!
It's a good thing she is so cute because that was one big mess!
Wednesday we had a costume party to go to, so we got all dressed up and made goofy faces...
...and then looked adorable!
We made a point to have a night to make some Halloween cookies. They turned out great!

Daddy and Micah were the chefs.
Saturday was soccer. I keep thinking Micah is like the little Asian girl on Ladybugs (anyone remember that movie?). He is always distracted and would rather tickle or tackle the other boys than go after the ball.
After the game, I asked Micah why he didn't try to get the ball. He told me that all the other boys got in the way. He is afraid to be aggressive and get after the ball. I guess I have to go against all the things I have taught him and tell him to start pushing his way in there. Time to be rude dude!
After the game, we headed to a carnival that my friend Carrie was throwing. I helped out in a booth for a while, which was a breeze and in return we got free lunch and the kids got to play and enjoy the "petting zoo." I put that in quotations because it wasn't your typical petting zoo. It was a reptile zoo and that cute little turtle was the only cute thing they had!
The rest of the animals looked like this, which Brooklyn loved for some reason. They also had several kinds of snakes, toads, roaches and spiders. Not the kind of petting zoo I would enjoy, but the kids had a blast!

I would say we are busy people around here, but I think that everyone is busy. It is a choice you make and although I would like to try and simplify my life a bit more, it is fun to do these things sometimes. We decided to make Sunday truly lazy and rest up for the week ahead. We all know it is going to be a full one!
