#2 Item Destroyed

I actually love these pumpkins. He brought it over to the wood floor and just threw it. I am so sad. I knew boys were destructive, I didn't know how often.

The Springs Preserve

On Saturday we went to the Springs Preserve. The kids were able to do some Trick or Treating, see some fun scarecrows and go on a spooky hayride. It was a lot of fun. The trick is to go early, when we were leaving it was packed. We were so glad we were on our way out!!
Dave is a bundle of energy!! He had ran 10 miles that day and I think it kicked his tail!
Ali was the only one brave enough to get a balloon animal made. Ali got a cat, but it looked like other kid's rats and dogs. It was free and she loved it!





Someone did Missionary Scarecrows. They were really cute.

#1 Item Destroyed

$70 Apple Mouse. It went for a nice swim in the bathtub. Rachael told me I should keep a list of all the things Brock destroys. This one hurt a little!

Scoli Update

That is my daughter's spine! I can't believe she is so crooked inside. Thanks to a 16 yr old gymnastics coach we were made aware of the problem. Now it is so obvious, I can't believe we never noticed. I feel like an idiot. However, we are going through the steps to help her. I took her into the specialist yesterday. He did a new set of x-rays and measured the curves. The worst one is about 51 degrees. The other is not too far behind. If she were 12 it would be surgery right away. An angle that severe cannot usually be corrected by a brace. For now we will fit her for a brace and she will wear that for 20 hours a day and see how things go. The Dr. didn't seem to think the brace would do much of anything, but would possible keep it from getting worse. Next week, casting for the brace and an MRI to check for any other problems associated with Scoliosis!!

Vacuum crazy

Brock is completely intrigued with vacuums. He simply can’t stay away when someone is vacuuming. He likes to put his mouth on the light, the hose, and even the bag. This morning, he spilled something on the floor and slid around in it with his pajamas. So, we took them off and let him walk around in just a diaper. We decided to vacuum and mop, but Brock couldn’t leave the vacuum alone. So, Nancy took off the attachment and let him play with it. He started pulling it on and off of his diaper repeatedly, which prompted the camera. By the time we started videoing, he had moved from his diaper to his face.
