Sorry...long blog

I wanted to wait until I had some pictures to share, but it looks like I’ll just have to post them later…

This time of year is my absolute favorite. We were busy busy busy this past weekend. Thursday Jasmine and Cash’s cousins spent the night and boy did they all have fun. After we got home from Jasmine’s soccer practice it was straight to the tub. Two 2 year olds and two 4 year olds make for a very adventurous bath time. Luke (2yrs) thinks it is super fun to jump up in the bathtub and land flat on his bottom and make a BIG splash. Cash thought that was the most hilarious thing he has ever seen. He was giggling so hard he couldn’t breathe. Then one by one they get out of the tub and dry off and get lotion and PJs on. Unfortunately Cash was last and by the time I got to him, he pooped on the floor. SO GROSS!!

Friday was CASH’S BIRTHDAY! We went to McDonald’s and to the Dr. for a checkup. He weighs 35lbs and is 32ins, which puts him off the charts in his age group for weight and average for height. The whole way to the Dr. Jasmine kept needing reassurance that she was not getting shots, I dread next time we go and she need them it’ll be a fight to the end! Cash did have to get one shot, but is such a toughie he didn’t even cry.

That evening was our Fall Festival at church. Tons and tons of bounce houses and slides and food and a petting zoo… Speaking of the petting zoo, Cash kept trying to climb up the fence to get into the pen with the animals. When that did not work he ran to the pen with the calf and pony and crawled under. Luckily I was able to grab onto his foot before he was out of reach. For being such a big boy, he is FAST!

Saturday we went to Boo at the Zoo. They were so cute when going to each station to trick or treat. Jasmine would walk up and say ‘Trick or Treat’ and ‘Thank You’, I was very proud. Cash got to where he would run up and say ‘Treat’ and hold his bag up. As soon as they dropped something in, he’d stick his head in the opening of the bag and start jumping up and down. So cute! We had lots of fun until…Jasmine disappeared! We are running all over the place looking for her, yelling her name. Luckily mom stayed back where we started and said Jasmine came walking out of the restaurant with a Coke. Apparently she was thirsty and took it upon herself to go and find something to drink. Needless to say, we were very happy to find her unharmed…but proceeded to let her know how much trouble she was in for running off. Soo scary!

The next morning when I was making breakfast we were talking about next time we go to the zoo and she said ‘next time I will not run off. I will just say Momma, I am so thirsty so we can get a drink’. Hopefully this lesson will stick with her and we won’t have to experience that again.
