Nice, NORMAL Family : Feeling the Fall Weather...October and early November 2014

Hello! Welcome to what I feel like really shows the beginning of fall--October--cooler weather, falling leaves, Halloween, and my birthday :) So here are a few things that have been happening around our spunky Halloween house:

Well, I busted out the kids Halloween cd's (monster mash, candy, ghostbusters) and the boys are/were obsessed with the Spiderman song....sure they have heard me kind of sort of sing the song before for fun, but have never seen any tv with it and do not own any spiderman paraphernalia, but still, Edward's already asking if he can be Spiderman next Halloween...
On Oct 14th, I asked Edward "what are you chewing on?" and he answered "bugar"...nice...
Eli loves to sing, and will sing with me all the time "Jesus loves me", "ABC's", and "Let it go" and many, many more
The boys' love playing Hide and Seek! Eli is actually really quiet and difficult to find, while Edward is loud and can not stay hidden, but now as an update and into the month of November, Edward's hiding skills have improved immensely!
Eli's best friends are his stuffed animals right now. He will line them up, put them on cars to ride on, lie them on bed, ect. Edward never did this, and I think it is just adorable his favorites right now are "pooh and tiger" along with "elephant, clifford, and polar bear"
I LOVE Eli's 'jig'--dance
On October 30th, Edward brought his chair and recorder into the closet with me while I was practicing my horn, such a cool and sweet moment.
Eli turned 2! On October 31st, we had his party the weekend before, and I made mini-cupcakes for everyone, but Eli got the normal sized cupcake and he loves retelling his cupcake experience. "Big cupcake" (because his was much bigger than the others) and then he will clinch his fists really hard because after eating some of the cupcake he decided it was more fun to squeeze his cupcake and let it slime through his fingers :) Seriously, he loves this story!
Around the first of November, Eli went through this phase for a few days where is said "mommy stinky" then would just laugh and laugh....not sure how I should feel about this.
Eli thinks if he closes HIS eyes, then you can't see him
One of the sweetest moments ever was this past week on the 7th and Edward, out of nowhere, states "I'm glad I have little brother"....me too, Edward, me too...
