Happy Halloween, and Happy Birthday Grammy Ri!

What a busy weekend we've had! Friday was Halloween. Josh was a Dinosaur. We made a few visits on Friday, and the grandparents all came over to see the "star" in his costume. Don't mind my messy house....




Saturday we took the family for a trip to Augusta to get some size 4 diapers. They look huge! The 3's still fit him, but some days when Josh drinks a lot (he's such a lush... hahaha) he can soak through them in no time at all--well, realistically, about an hour. We still have some size 3's, but we're trying out the 4's tonight.

Saturday evening, Dave and I had a much-needed night without baby (not that we don't love him, it's just nice to know that he's well taken care of by someone else once in a while).

Today, we did our usual grocery run and came home to cook and clean. I was doing just that when I heard an crazy loud crash, looked up and there was a car going sideways in front of door. Two kids were going too fast and hit a telephone pole right next to our house on the other side of our "spare" driveway. It freaked me out! I've never had to call 911, but I did today. There were only the two boys in the car and they were walking around, but one was covered in blood. He was wearing his seat belt but his head hit the windshield. He was crawling out of the passenger side window when I rushed outside. I was stunned, I didn't really know what to do. I told the boy he could come in my house and wash his face. He ended up going to the hospital (I can only assume he had glass all through his face--there was so much blood!!) He came over this evening and to thanked us--which I thought was really sweet. But since this is Josh's blog, I'll tell you about what he was doing. He loved all the commotion. It was cold out so I kept him inside but I let him look out the window (and bang on the window). He loved it when the fire truck pulled up. "Truck, truck, truck" which sounds more like "uck uck uck". Here are a couple of pics:




Then tonight was Madre/Grammy Ri's birthday party, even though yesterday was her birthday. I won't say her age! :) She'll thank me for that. It was very nice to see Mom and Dad and Daniel. We'll be able to get together again soon too for Josh's party and then Dad's birthday and then Thanksgiving! It's a month of family gatherings.

One more pic... during my shopping day in Kittery with Mom last weekend, I bought Josh a "birthday present" which I use quotations because I buy something for the boy nearly daily, ya know, usually just to meet his basic needs, but hey, I spend a lot of money on this kid. And he's turning ONE so I feel that I really don't need to buy him a gift.... Anyway, I bought him a winter coat because A) he needed one, B) I could hold off on giving it to him for a couple weeks, and C) I had a coupon. We tried it on him to see how it fit. This was his reaction:


He loved it.

OMG I love the costume. He looks so cute. Love the pictures of him looking out the front door. That must have been scary.

Oh how cute the little dino is. I love the pic of Josh and Toby. Hey Toby better watch out Josh is almost as big as him. Sorry to hear of the accident and glad to hear the young man came back to say thank you. See you on your birthday Josh!
