That Kid Will Never Be Fat

Spencer's favorite cookies ever are No-Bakes (the chocolate and oatmeal ones). All day Thursday Spencer asked for me to make him No-Bake Cookies. He ate well at dinner so I told him I would. He was in the family room wrestling with Chad and came running in the kitchen, "mmmmm, No-Bakes. It smells so good." I put them on waxed paper and told him they were ready. He came back in the kitchen and said, "No thanks."

"But Spencer you have been asking all day for me to make these."

"Yah mom, I wanted you to make them. I didn't want to eat them."

And that would be my Spencer. I kept offering them to him and he kept saying, "no thanks."

No worries, Mommy ate the entire batch---by herself. Until the next day when Spencer saw that there was only one left in the container--he finally agreed to eat the last one.

Halloween

Halloween was kind of a bust this year because of the rain. Luckily Nat had a Halloween party the end of September so we were able to wear our family costumes at least once. Abby was a loaf of Wonder Bread. I was a jar of strawberry jam. Chad--Jiff Peanut Butter. Spencer- a glass of milk. Cam--an EPI pen (epinepherin pen for allergies.) Since they didn't want to be a glass of milk, or epi pen for school activities they went as Batman and a magician.

My "First Baby" Turns 7!!

Oh my goodness Cam-Bam--you're seven. I can't believe how the time has flown. You are such a handsome little man with an infectious laugh. I love that you are a nerd in training---asking for a chemistry experiment kit and robot kits for your birthday. You try so hard to be so good and are learning to not be negative and hard on yourself. You have so many good friends, there aren't many days that we don't get numerous phone calls for you to play.

I am so proud of what a good big brother you are. Spencer is always included when you are playing with friends and when you aren't teasing him you are so kind and patient. Abby will always be able to count on you for whatever she needs in a big brother.

Happy Birthday my love!!
