Never a dull moment

It's never a dull moment around here. You just never know what may occur. I was minding my own business, just helping Nik with his homework. I noticed Noah circling us and trying to wait patiently to tell me something. I finally asked him what was up.

"Mom, your toilet had too much water. I fixed it with your towel. All clean!" He was so proud of himself. I snapped this picture of him after he revealed his cleaning method.

He was so proud, I didn't have the heart to get upset that he used my extra absorbent, 100% cotton super soft feel and touch terry, built for absorbency towel to clean an overflowing toilet. I did tell him to use a mop next time.

Meet Berry

"Hi Mom! Meet Berry. Berry, meet my mom." Noah came barreling out of the school bus yesterday, wearing an ear to ear smile. He had Berry in his hands and was so excited. And he was all too eager to walk Berry around the house and introduce him to his tent, the couch, the fridge, the oven.  "But don't touch it, Berry!"

Noah is earning classroom money in exchange for meeting class expectations. The idea is to earn money to be able to buy Christmas gifts. I think Berry was supposed to be a part of that, but he clearly loves the bear too much to give it away.

Last night, Noah fell asleep with Berry, and left him on top of his i pad this morning when he went to school. He loves Berry.

Halloween 2013

This was a fun Halloween season. On Saturday, Nik and Noah participated in a Halloween party with our Special needs ministry at church. They had so much fun. Here they are on our way to the party.

On Halloween day, Nik's class had a big party. They invited other special needs classes from neighboring schools. The class did a fundraiser and handled all the planning on their own. What an awesome way to teach them some very important life skills. And Nik had a blast at the party.

In the evening, we did our traditional carving of the pumpkin.

I, Jack, the Pumpkin King!

Then it was our turn to trick or treat. No, I did not get candy for myself. But this was my costume that I wore to work. 

Noah must have had a great time. I could hear him singing himself to sleep. "Yahoo! Celebrate good times, come on! Celebrate good times, come on!" He's either a fan of Halloween or Kool & the Gang.

Happy Halloween!
