Blah Blah! October is Over!
I probably say this in every entry, but time goes too fast! The month of October was full of fun for the Deen family. Of course, the grand finale of it all, Halloween!
I have always wanted to have a Halloween party but have never lived anywhere big enough or even had enough friends to invite! This year we finally did it and I think it turned out great. It was pretty stressful planning, and I wanted to bag it several times, but I'm glad we didn't. We had some great costumes and great food.
Another exciting thing that happened in October was that Arthur and I found out we are expecting baby #5! We are excited, a little bit nervous and a whole lot overwhelmed already! (At least I am!) I have been feeling pretty good up until these last couple days. I am so not ready to be sick! I hate that part of pregnancy! But, to get the baby, you do what you gotta do! The kids were less then thrilled. Ezri pouted and said, "It's just going to be another boy!" Chances are leaning in the boy direction, but there's always hope. I would love to have my "girl book ends" as my mother-in-law puts it. Xavier was fine and decided we have to name the baby Allen, after the main character in Jumanji, and Tanis is ok with it as long as we name the baby Shark Boy. So, Shark Boy Allen Deen it is.
The kids enjoyed Trick-or-treating. It seems by the time Halloween is actually here, we are all so sick of dressing up that we trick-or-treat in our regular clothes plus accessories- such as cape, with hat . . . Oh well. Whatever gets the candy!
We started November off with a Bang! Zarek took a flying leap off my bed and broke his leg. We just got the cast on today and he has to keep it on for 6 weeks. He has been miserable, but I hope that now that his cast is on, he will feel much better.
Ezri's birthday was on the 2nd. I can't believe my baby is 8 years old! She will be baptized on Dec 6th, so mark your calendars and come on down!
Well, I'm hoping that things slow down a bit here. I'm ready for some down time. I hope all is well with you and that you had a fun, safe holiday.
