Halloween Fun!

We've had a number of Halloween Activities, we had a fall festival at church,pumpkin carving at Tara and Jayce's, and a Halloween parade at Peyton's School. Peyton has really enjoyed all of them. We are so lucky to have such great friends to share these times with!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

We've had a lot going on with Halloween activities, and a big day planned today, I will post all of those pictures tomorrow. For now HAPPY HALLOWEEN FROM OUR SWEET LITTLE COW!

School

Peyton is getting a little better at school, we are just taking it one day at a time. This is a typical day.

In the parking lot when we pull into school! (pitiful)

I am having to really talk him into going each morning. Once he gets there he loves it, he told me yesterday he wanted to go back to school but this morning he cried and wanted me to stay at school and play with him. It is still hard, but he will get better!

Pumkin Patch

Peyton and I went Saturday to McBee to visit the pumpkin patch with Tara, Jayce, DeAnn, Weatherly, Kelli and Jackson. We had so much fun, you never know what is going to happen when you pack four children under the age of two in a car and take a trip, but we are all so proud of the children they were so well behaved. The kiddos absolutely loved it, we were able to take a horse drawn carriage to the pumpkin patch and then pick a pumpkin of our choice. We ended the afternoon with a meal at Myami's and the children were so well behaved, I cannot wait for our next outing. See Pictures!

All loaded in my car!

Bye Bye Paci!

I have not posted about Peyton not having a Paci because I did not want to brag on how well he was doing until I knew for sure the paci was gone. Friday a week ago Peyton was outside and had his paci in his mouth and must have dropped and his puppy that we just got took off running with his paci. I heard Peyton screaming my paci, my paci, so I got up and he was chasing the PY (this is what Peyton named the puppy) saying give me my paci it was pitiful but it was also pretty funny. He was so devastated, I decided then this may be a good way to go ahead and get rid of the paci, so I went in the House and got all of his pacis and put them where he could not get them. I explained to him that PY was a baby and needed his paci. He has asked for it several times and it is a little harder to get him to sleep but all in all it has not been to bad. This weekend he told said "We need to go target to buy me paci" he is too smart. Poor Peyton has lost his paci and had to start school in the last two weeks.

A Lot Going on

It has been a long time since I last posted. I had to have emergency gallbladder surgery on the 20th. I am doing much better now, it all happened so fast, I will be able to go back to work on Monday. With that being said in the mist of all of this I had to fire Peyton's Nanny after 2 1/2 years. To make a long story short I caught her steeling my pain medication I had from surgery. The lord just seems to work things out, i would have never known had i not been home and Peyton could have been in danger. I do not think this has been going on with her for long, I have beet myself up over the fact of leaving Peyton with her and she is on Pain Medication but we are in and out the house so much I do not think she has been, i am not sure what got into her. She was so dependable, Peyton adored her, I just do not get it! We found this out on Monday I immediately thought what am I going to do with Peyton, he has never stayed with anyone. I was not prepared for this I had it all planned out that Peyton would stay with her until next fall and then go to All Saints for 3k. I immediately thought about A Step Ahead Day School, I had heard so many great things about it. Jackson is their and Ava and both Kelli and Paige say they love it. I called them on Monday afternoon knowing that it would be forever before I could get him in and the director said they had a spot for 2k come available on Friday if I wanted to come look around. I went Monday afternoon and toured the facility, I was very impressed with it and the curriculum that they offer. If it pleased me they really have their stuff together. I went ahead and enrolled him and he will start Monday. I hope that I can survive, Peyton will probably be better off than me. We have been taking him a couple of hours everyday this week and he did not do well Tuesday or Wednesday, but today he did great. It is going to be an adjustment for him and myself but I keep telling myself that everything feel into place so it must be the lord's plan. When I take him in that room, I look at how lost he looks and I feel like someone is ripping my heart out of my chest. I just want to go get him and go home, but it is what is best for him, he needs to be around other children and get used to things before he starts school next year. I guess sometimes what is best for your child is not always what YOU want, that is one thing that makes being a parent such a tough job. Just be thinking about us next week I am not sure I have another tear left to shed, we will see on Monday!
