MY 5-YEAR OLD!

OUR SON IS F-I-V-E!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my gosh. I am the luckiest mom on the planet. As I am typing this, he is upstairs in his room...four...for the very last night. (tears are flowing everywhere.) I keep sneaking a peek through the crack in the door, as if I am going to miss something. And, I am going to miss something. I already miss four. This has been a great year, full of fun, and happiness in our family, because of our little four year old. He is growing up so fast, and I know it is cliche to say this when it comes to your child growing up, but THEY GROW UP WAY TOO FAST!

At five, Brooklyn's
Favorite food is: Spaghetti with meatballs
Favorite cereal is: "Mommy's cereal" as he calls is. (Quaker Oatmeal Squares)

At five, Brooklyn:
is Sweet,
loves music,
is Loving,
is Gentle, and a little shy,
is Wild,
is a good listener,
is Happy,
is already hilarious,
is (uh-oh) a flirt,

And Nathan and I are so grateful EVERY DAY that we have him! Happy birthday, to my sweet little 5-year old!

What a BUSY fall!

This Fall has been absolutely INSANE around here! Homework is coming by the truck-load and fall activities have been crazy! Forgive me for not updating sooner!!! Anyway...Brooklyn was Harry Potter for Halloween, Here he is (I can't get the kid to just be normal in pictures these days! haha!) in his costume, with a milk-mustache.

Here we are carving pumpkins. Brooklyn wouldn't touch the pumpkin-goo, unless he had this scoop. He called in pumpkin ickies.

Hopefully now that the semester is winding down, I will be able to update more often!!!
