Halloween Weekend

Our weekend started off very exciting with plumbers here for over an hour in the afternoon and then several hours in the evening. They even had to take out one of our toliets! Needless to say, we had raw sewage on our walls, floors, etc. Around 10pm Friday we started cleaning and deotarizing so we could feel comfortable walking into our bathroom. We finally got everything cleaned and went to bed. I couldn't believe it but Noah slept through all the noise of the plumbers and cleaning! I guess he was pretty tired. It was his first day to switch from two naps to one. He completed the day like a champ by talking away, pretending he was a motor boat, pushing his new walker (thanks to the Gibsons!), and everything else he could find to play with. John could win husband of the year too. He was so much help cleaning (as always), washing dirty towels (more than once just in case!), and so much more. He even let me sleep in Saturday morning (as he often does), got Noah up, feed him breakfast, did a couple loads of laundry, folded the laundry, did the dishes...and whatever else I may have not notice. What a good hubby he is! I feel so blessed that he always does what he can although he is so busy. He treats me like a queen. Ok, enough bragging (John says not to brag on him like I do but I can't help it. The Proberbs 31 women did and he was praised at the gates...just trying to be like her...Ha)...

Saturday night was fun, we took Noah to the Trunk or Treat at our Church. Noah started out in his OSU stuff like Dad and Mom but changed into his Tigger (thanks Azi!) costume later.

Noah was so tired at the end of the night. The 'one nap thing' was a little harder with a later bedtime. He was past the climbing out of your hands tired stage and into zoning out. It is a rare event to have Noah sitting still on your lap!Really...do I have to wear the hat?

Meet my friend Caleb, the Lion.

We were also able to get a lot of cleaning/organizing done. I organized my scrapbooking stuff (I now know where everything is!), cleaned several areas in the house, cleaned out our closets for good will (how do we always end up with so much to give away when we RARELY buy clothes?). Boy, it is nice to be home, get things organized, and be rested for a new week! We even had an extra hour this weekend! But, I do feel sorry for those on the night shift...they had to work 9 hours instead of 8...what a bummer!

I hope you all had a good weekend too!
