the kids

Well for those of you know AJ, you know how particular he can be. So Mark put him to bed tonight and everything seemed fine and quiet and then we hear him talking... so Mark goes to see what is wrong and he says he needs mom. Well he has a teddy bear that we put on outfit on a few days ago and he keeps in his bed, he was holding the bear saying get it off and I happen to catch out of the corner of my eye that the light is on in his room.... not the night light but the 4 bulb big overhead light. This probably won't be such a big deal BUT he shares a room with TK. So I hit the light and look at her... just sprawled out in the crib and could care less. Now seriously how does this happen that she can sleep through that light being turned on, but can't possible start to sleep through the night!!! Anyways I go back to AJ who is saying mom just get the yucky stuff off. I'm guessing he must have wiped his nose on the bear, 'cause something crusty and gross was on the bear's outfit. Well thankfully we got it all off and taken care of and everyone is sleeping. This was so surprising to me because whenever he has need to check something out before he always goes in our room and looks at it there using our light (I leave our reading lamp on until we go to bed), so I surprised to see this bright light on.

On a different note , fall kinda of surprised me this year and I am totally unprepared. Meaning I didn't have any clothes for the kids for this cooler weather. I think they each had a sweatshirt and that was about it. So we have been doing some shopping these last couple of days. I think AJ is going to be like his dad and love shopping!! The only probably is he has no concept at 2 1/2 that we don't just pick up whatever we want, we actually have to pay for it... he thinks we should just always take one of each. One of the purchases we made was his halloween costume ~ a dragon (he's been asking to either be that or a dinosaur). Well he loves that costume, of course he wouldn't try it on until we brought it home and cut out the tags. It was the first thing he put on this morning and he took his nap in it this afternoon. The only problem with the costume is it has wings which means mom or dad gets to fly him all over!!! We should have great looking arms by time halloween gets here (-:
