October

We had a busy October!! Time to catch everyone up!
Trey has been doing amazing in 1st grade. We cannot believe all he is learning. Some of the stuff he is working on I did not learn until the end of 2nd grade. He reads very well and loves to do math. He is in football right now and will move on to basketball in the new year.
Coby is getting to be such a big boy! He loves his older brother and the fact that he can boss him around too. He loves playing outside and football with Mark and Trey. He is talking so much! Including sending Trey to time out if he makes him mad. He also calls Mark "Mark", so Mark will say, "I am Dad" in which Coby will respond, "I am Coby".
We went to a pumpkin patch two weekends ago. The boys loved the corn mazes and jumping castle. They each got to pick their own pumpkins at the end. We also went to an outdoor mall and they were able to dress up early and go trick or treating to all the stores. They also had a lot of activities and food. Coby was very excited, he would say, "trick in treat" instead. After he got his first treats he said,"Mom, two candies". Needless to say he talked about trick in treating for the whole week! So when Halloween did arrive he was ready to go. He loved the decorations at our house and around the neighborhood. He is going to love Christmas!
We carved our pumpkins and cooked the seeds the night before. Trey likes to draw his own face. Coby wanted nothing to do with them, he just keep saying, "gross" or "disgusting". Which, by the way is one of his favorite words. This week at the grocery store, everything I put in the cart was "disgusting".
The boys had fun trick or treating and were thrilled with all their candy! We would tell Coby to say thank you to each person and he would say, "say thank you". Everyone was laughing and him, but he was serious about getting his candy. He really loves fire trucks and every year our fire truck goes around with its lights on and hands out candy. He was so in awe that he stopped chewing the candy in his mouth. Trey got to sit shotgun in the truck when it stopped. Trey loved to hand out the candy, we all went and sat out on the sidewalk. He was especially excited when some of his classmates stopped by.
