Halloween Birthdays and a Walking Girl

That pretty much sums up this last weekend. The boys and I made cookies on Thursday night and I took them to school on Friday for Collin's birthday/halloween party at school. Then it was Steve's turn to take over that night while I went to work. He had strict instructions to take pictures, which he did, but not as many as I would have taken. He took all 3 kids trick or treating, then off to the fair at church. Overall it sounded like they had a great time. One of the games at the fair was a shooting gallery which Steve said both boys hit and knocked over the cans. He was very proud! They were still up and wired when I got home a little after 9 and I was glad to get to hear about everything from them before they were scooted off into bed.

The next day was Collin's birthday. He was so excited to be turning 8 and no longer have to use his carseat! Milestones, they come so fast. We had a quick celebration that morning before I had to go to work again. He had his best friend over for the day to help celebrate. He wanted a star wars cake, but I have to admit it did not turn out the way I wanted it to. Unfortunately I didn't have a lot of time to concentrate on decorating the cake with having to work, but Collin was still pleased.

Talking about milestones, Allison started walking Saturday while I was at work! She still is more comfortable crawling, but you should have seen the look on her face when I came home and she walked to me. She was just so proud of herself as was her mommy! Steve was so excited to be able to set her down to let her walk to me! I can't believe how fast she is growing.
