This past Sunday we went fishing with my dad at his ranch. It was a lot of fun. JB & Drew had the best time. It's so funny because Drew is always so gun-ho, ready to go. JB is a bit more reserved, not so sure. It's fun to see the differences in them. It was even funnier when JB pulls up his line and screams, "I caught the biggest one!" My dad and I were both just laughing! And then he caught another big one. Oh, and one more big one. Needless to say, Drew wasn't happy about that. Thankfully, Joe took him on a ride on the four wheeler and that was over.
My boys are definetly more on the city slicker side. We need to get down to the ranch more often. When JB came back from his four wheeler ride he had some cow poop on him. Well, we all thought it was funny. But JB, no- not so funny to him. JB got to pet the cows. He pet a mama and after that Joe said that every cow was "Hi Mama Cow!" JB is so funny!
The boys also went to their first funeral and they did very well. JB was a little giggly but I kind of thought that Uncle Henry would actually like that even though I told him to be quiet. When I first told them that we were going to a funeral and explained that my uncle had died, Drew announces, "Mom, we're sad too because we didn't get to meet Uncle Henry and we really wanted to." I thought that was so sweet.
We are heading back down south for Thanksgiving. It will be the first one in years. I'm not sure that I've been back home for the holidays since the boys have been born. It has just always been too expensive. Of course, I'll have to fix Drew a hamburger because the boy is pickier than I was when I was a kid! It will still be fun to be all together. JB's birthday is that Sunday so I'm sure we'll have cake or something.
Oh- Halloween was a hoot! Drew dressed up as a vampire. And, since it's his birthday, there is always a lot of commotion around the day. JB dressed up as a red PowerRanger. I wish I could get them to dress up in a theme like Scooby and Shaggy or Woody and Buzz. But there's always one character who is cooler than the other. I'm not going to give up on that though. Maybe one day they'll see it my way! We went trick or treating with my good friend from high school, Kristi and her kids. Dawson is about 6 months older than Drew and then Elizabeth is in the 2.5 range. The kids were the only ones out on their street. Drew and Dawson ran from house to house and probably could have been done in 15 minutes if we didn't hold them back so the JB and Elizabeth could keep up.
One of the cuter parts of the night was when JB ran up behind Dawson and Drew finishing up at one house, he got his candy and the lady was trying to close the door and he stood there yelling, "Wait! Wait! We've got one more!" And here comes Elizabeth to get her candy. It was too cute! I'm really glad that Kristi called Halloween night and we went to her house instead of going to Main Street here in Grapevine. We drove past Main Street on the way home and it looked like a zoo. This was way better! It reminded me of when I was a kid.
There's your Halloween & November Adventures!
