Sunday and Monday Activities

After such a crazy and party-filled Saturday, we couldn't let Sunday be boring!  Lincoln was so happy to go to Sunday School and learn about David and Goliath, and Beau was happy to stay out in big church.  We had a delicious brunch at Deli News with omelets, bagels, pancakes, and bacon . . . everyone loves Deli News! 
There was a big Cowboys game to get ready for on Sunday night, and my boys were looking their best to cheer on their favorite football team!  When we announced that it was time for a picture, Beau ran to get his little plastic camera from the treat bowl at swimming lessons.  He was determined to take Mommy's picture while I took their picture.  We all had to "cheese" at the same time!   
When asked to put down the fake camera, Beau couldn't muster a smile.  He just does not like to be told what to do when he has his own ideas! 
Daddy went to the game with a client, so we watched and cheered from home.  Actually, we mostly didn't watch, but we had lots of fun.  We did have dessert and do a little cheering before baths and bedtime.   
Everyone loves Columbus Day at our house because we get to stay home from school and work.  We slept in on a rainy morning and enjoyed breakfast cooked by Daddy.  Who doesn't love to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on a free day home?  It has been a few months since the boys have had a hair cut, so we went to visit our favorite stylist.  Two cute little guys got all cleaned up at Cool Cuts!   
Our next stop in the rain was Target, and the boys were happy to help me find the things on my list.  We made Halloween cupcakes after lunch, and the boys were thrilled to be the official sprinklers.  And sprinkle they did . . . I'm not sure how they actually ate any cupcake under all of those sprinkles!   
We definitely made some yummy and super cute Halloween cupcakes that we can enjoy all week.  I predict that this isn't the last time we'll make Halloween cupcakes in the next two weeks.  Yum for all!
Still in the Halloween spirit, Lincoln wanted to decorate the mini pumpkins with Halloween stickers.  He carefully selected the stickers and placed them just right.  I love that he's really embracing the spirit of the upcoming holiday! 
Of course, we spent some time in our Halloween costumes as well.  It is back to school and work for a few days, and the boys have so much to tell to their friends and teachers.  Beau has been so great about telling when he needs to go to the potty, and I love that he's not having accidents.  While sitting on the potty trying to poop this evening, he made up a crazy story.  With his big blue eyes looking so innocent and amazing, he described to me about how the poop comes out.  The poop is sleeping in there, but the Father comes in and wakes up the poop.  The Mother is vacuuming and comes to help.  The poop finally is awake and ready to come out.  When the poop comes out, his brother comes too.  I listened with amazement as he crafted this story, and sure enough a big brother poop and a little brother poop splashed in the potty.  Beau was completely thrilled that his little story came true!!!  That is five minutes that I might never forget . . . so sweet and so weird!
