Thanksgiving Party at Aiden's School

We had a great time at Aiden's preschool for his Thanksgiving party. The class sang 4 songs for us and Aiden did very well. He sang and did all the dance motions for the songs. Normally, he does not like doing this kind of stuff and just stands there but he really did good this time. The one funny thing he did was sometimes he would be singing and dancing and he would notice his hat and stop to flip it or something....typical Aiden :) Austin enjoyed spending time at preschool and got to sit with Aiden to eat. I LOVED watching the boys say their blessing before their meal. Austin said the prayer right along with the class as it is the same one we say at home!!!! Enjoy the pictures below and look for a Christmas update around Dec. 10th as Aiden and his class are going to the DHL to sign Christmas songs......I hope to video tape this one!!!!

Trick or Treat

The boys had a great time tonight getting candy. We stayed out for about an hour and a half. It was crazy busy but nice. The entire base as well as some Koreans seem to migrate to the Embassy housing area. It does not bother me but it was really busy and alot of houses ran out of candy. Everyone thought Austin was a cow instead of a dalmation but Aiden was quick to correct them. Towards the end, we were walking by some Koreans and they said "aw look at the cow", Aiden huffed at them heavily and said "he is NOT a cow he is a DALMATION"!!!! Then Aiden proceded to looks at me and ask " mommy why does everyone keep calling Austin a cow when he is clearly a dalmation"??? I about fell over laughing so hard :) There was even a Korean who wanted a picture of the boys.......I think the boys are getting used to it by now though as Austin looked at him with his rotten grin and proudly said "CHEESE"!!!!!!

Halloween Cake :)

Tonight the kids and I baked Halloween Cakes instead of carving pumpkins. They enjoyed doing this SO much more and could help out a little more. Then, best of all they got to eat their creation!!!!!! They both did SO good and we all had a great time. I have alot of pictures but tried to limit the ones I put up....it was just a fun night and lots of cute pictures. Tomorrow we have a halloween party with the playgroup here on base and then Saturday is Trick or Treat with a maze and party here at our housing compound. More pictures to come from the upcoming events......

"Community Helpers Parade"

Aiden's preschool had a "Community Helpers Parade". It was basically just dressing the kids up as different roles and they walked around the school. It was cute and the kids enjoyed it. Notice in some of the pictures, Austin was checking them all out. Then in one picture he could not sit up on the ledge with the kids so he sat in front of them on the curb.....he ALWAYS has to get in on the action :)

Not feeling so good

Poor little Austin was not feeling too good after he woke up from his nap. For the past week or so he has had a runny nose but otherwise been fine. Well, today after he woke up from his nap I could tell he was feeling awful even before I picked him up from his bed. When I did get him, he was very hot to touch. I took his temp. right away and it was 104.6......needless to say I had flashbacks of my emergency run on Thanksgiving last year. The one big difference was that other than being fussy and wanting me to hold him, he was not as listless, ect...... So I did break down and give him sone Motrin and within an hour his temp was down to 101.2 He still wanted to be held but you could tell he was feeling a little better. After his nice bath tonight he seems to be back to normal. Still not feeling the best but hopefully after a good nights rest he will be Austin again :) Poor kid!!!! Below is a picture of the boys in Aiden's bed watching cartoons. Aiden told me not to worry that he would take care of him. I love this picture but if you look closely (you can click on the picture to make it big), you can see how sick little Austin looks in it :(

Fire Safety at Aiden's Preschool

Today the fire station visited Aiden's preschool and let them try out some of the stuff. Austin was excited to see "trucks" and he got really excited when the teacher let him join in on the fun. He wants to be like big brother SO bad!!!! Aiden did alot better this year than he did last year. It is amazing what a few months will do. Last year at his preschool we took a trip to the fire department and he did not want to get close to the trucks...let alone try out the stuff. This year he jumped right in and was excited about it. Aiden has "grown up" alot and he really loves this preschool. I am glad he has adjusted well to everything and I know Austin is looking forward to going next year :)

Yikes!!!!

Ok, this really freaks me out!!!!! I just wanted to share this picture with our upcoming parents who plan on making the trip to Korea while we are here. This was outside of our house at the window ledge. This is the 3rd one we have found on our house...thankfully outside. EVERYONE knows how I feel about spiders and I know you can about imagine my reaction if I were to see one in the house....I think I would head back to Ohio :)
