November has come and gone

Wow, I can't believe it's already December and I've gone a whole month without posting. Cory's been bugging me asking "when are you going to update the blog?" My latest response was "when the kids leave the house." I seriously feel like I have no personal time. It's midnight, Drew finally fell asleep 2 hours ago, I've showered, read my scriptures and am ready for bed. Why am I still up? I figure once I get this post out of the way I'll most likely go back to blogging a little more frequent (I hope). So here's a little recap of what's been going on in the Garrett household.

Halloween:

Christopher was a monkey (a really cute one may I add) and Drew was a penguin. I feel sorry for Drew having to use Christopher's last year costume, but I refuse to buy a new one. We had Cory's family over and the cousins got to go trick or treating together. It was fun to take the boys and to be able to pass out candy.

Christopher:

He's been speaking more and more by the day. He had his first official nursery day this Sunday and it didn't go very well. He was way too tired due to lack of sleep and cried pretty much the whole time. (I don't like 1pm church!! Can't wait till next year for a new schedule.)

He can jump out of his crib, jump the stairs' gate and plug and unplug the Christmas tree lights (oh and he learned how to do his all on Sunday before church). I forgot to add he can open our child proof locks in the kitchen drawers.

Our Christmas tree is only decorated from the top half, because I'm tired of chasing Christopher away from the ornaments. Although, he still finds it amusing to shake the tree and see ornaments drop from the top.

Andrew:

He's becoming a much more pleasant child!! He smiles and giggles often and is a very mellow baby compared to Christopher at this age. He can roll from his back to his tummy, but gets stuck and can't roll back. We are trying to get him on an earlier schedule (which didn't happen today). We are putting him down at 9:00 pm now (instead of 11:30) and are trying to have him fall asleep on his own. Lets just hope he gets used to this SOON!

Thanksgiving:

We got to go visit my sister in Florida. It was great to spend time with my family and see her new adorable baby girl. My mom was also there, so we had fun shopping the day after Thanksgiving and staying up late chatting every night.

As for the trip itself, all I can say is that my kids don't travel well. By kids I mostly mean Christopher. Making the LONG story short, he didn't sleep well while at my sister's because we were all sleeping in the same room, and we missed our flight back home because of HORRIBLE holiday traffic combined with Christopher puking TWICE in the car on the way to the airport. Luckily we made it in time for the last flight leaving Orlando that night and made it home past midnight.
