2018 :: 44/52 :: Halloween :: Tova 8 months




Tova: when she wants to be picked up she'll crawl over to us, put her one arm up and if we don't pick her up right away she'll run her head into our shins :), she got her 2nd bottom tooth in without me even knowing it (her 4th), first time in a pool she loved it, she loves to crawl into the bathroom (I think it's the rug she likes), is really into her books now and will always pull them off the shelf

Trevor: we were going to go to fleet farm and he didn't want to go, then I told him they had a bunch of toys there right now and he said, "i'm gonna be a comin' then," he'll give himself pep talks under his breath usually "you can do this, trevor," he loves to memorize his books so he can "read" them instead of us, he's great at counting and simple math, still loves to craft, he's loving school: every day when I tell him it's a school day he says, "YES!" he really likes library day and picking out a book on his own, he's good at telling me what he had for snack and lunch every day at school, and he knows everyone in his class's name,



Monday morning Trevor slept until 830 am when I woke him up and Tova was down for nap at 845am; we'd had a busy weekend! there was no school but Al and I had our dentist appts to get our cavities filled. I went to the dentist at 1 and then got back just in time for Al to head to his appointment.

Tuesday morning we went on our annual trip to beaver creek nature reserve. it was a nice day out and we loved it, as usual. Tova stayed awake for almost 5 hours but was cranky at the end so we didn't stay as long as we wanted. we had her in the backpack, hiking carrier and she liked it in there. then back home for lunch before trevor went off to school. then once trevor was back and I got some cleaning done, we all went outside and did leaves for almost 2 hours.

Wednesday was Halloween. the kids and I went to Jodi's in the morning for a little Halloween party with the daycare kids. tova took a quick nap there and trevor ate lunch there before coming home to get on the bus. Al took some of our leaves to the brush site once awake and he got to see trevor for a bit before heading to work. tova didn't take her last nap, so the 3 of us went trick or treating for a little bit while it was still light outside. we just went around the block and that was plenty for trevor. between costumes, pjs, feeding tova, eating, we turned our lights on and trevor again loved handing out candy. we had lots of trick or treaters!

Thursday we stayed home so that tova could have a normal nap, routine day. trevor went to school, Al woke up and had to get ready for work right away, tova and I packed for the weekend then went to pick up trevor. once home, we played, had supper, played some more, then did our bedtime routine.

Friday morning we left at 10ish for silver bay to see my grama/gg for her 101st birthday. we met nana in Duluth and it was really nice out especially for the north shore in November so we stopped to pick rocks in our usual spot and had lunch in Duluth. then we headed to the hotel; once there we unpacked and went swimming. trevor had been asking to swim in a pool for months so he was so excited and tova got to swim in a pool for the first time. then we ordered pizza, took baths/showers, watched a movie and put the kids to bed.

Saturday morning we had the continental breakfast, went swimming while tova napped, then we went to marion and ray's house to see them and sit on ray's 'chines. :) then mom and her sister's went to grama's while the 4 of us went shopping at the awesome thrift store. then we went to grama's place to visit for a bit before we took her to lunch. we stopped at a playground quick to play while I fed tova and then met mom, auntie judie, auntie kari, and grama for lunch and yummy bundt cakes before hitting the road home. we stopped in beaver bay at a super cute little shop and then met mom in Duluth to pick rocks again since it was still nice out. then we drove home.

sunday it snowed and rained all day so we got a lot done inside and hung out with Al since he was off work.
