Last week grandma Dino came to visit. Yay! Ironically, hubs had a conference in New Hampshire, so they switched places. It was a lovely visit. Big guy was of course in heaven because he loves Dino and only wants to be with her. And he got her big time. She took over bath and bed time while I fed little man. And even though she was meeting with friends during the day, she was always available for drop off and pick up from school. The best day was Friday though. Dino, little man and I had the whole day to ourselves. After dropping big guy at school, I fed little man and then we went to suburban square and walk around and shop. We visited the farmers market, which little man loved. Then we strolled outside and it was chilly but really fun. Little man eventually fell asleep in the Williams Sonoma and we went home. In the afternoon, we went to big guys school for the Halloween parade!
Hubs, grandpa J, grandma C and uncle I met us to watch the procession. Luckily, we got good seats and big guys class was the first to come through, which was good bc it was cold. Following the parade, we went home and hubs made everyone eggs and bacon for dinner. Then we got back into our costumes. Big guy was a doctor! Yes, he actually dressed up. Dino made the costume out of one of hubs' white button down shirts, a name tag she reused and one of her stethoscopes. Big guy looked awesome and was so proud. He even used his play drs kit as his candy bucket. Little man wore his pirate pumpkin onesie and pumpkin hat that grandma J knitted for him.
We bundled up and went to pick up our neighbors who have a 1 year old daughter. Surprisingly, big guy was totally into it. He loved having company I think and showing the little kids how to ring the doorbell and what to say to get the candy. We only stopped because little man was getting a bit cold. Which like a good big brother, he said he was cold and tired too. We found hubs at home giving out candy. Big guy promptly dumped his candy on the floor to take inventory!!
Saturday brought music class and a trip to the Bj's. Big guy stayed with Dino while hubs and I took little man. Both Dino and big guy were exhausted with the time alone. We had a huge pizza dinner in farewell to Dino, as she left early the next morning. We had a really nice Sunday. Hubs worked and the boys and I went to a free art festival with grandma C and crew. Big guy loved all the cool artwork, including a thanksgiving card, sun catcher and a cool mosaic tower. He also appreciated the free soft pretzels, watermelon and grapes. We took pretzels and cookies for the road. Upon coming home, he kept eating and we had a nice relaxing night before everyone turning in early. Day lights savings took it's roll on our family!!!
