• Evan has started into the tantrum phase. If he doesn't get EXACTLY what he wants he flops on the floor, smacks his head into the ground and kicks his feet. The girls think it is hilarious and can't stop laughing every time he does it. I especially like it when he peaks up to see if anyone is watching him and then continues to kick and scream.
• To try and stop the Evan tantrums I taught him how to saw "please' and 'more' in sign language. I'm amazed at how fast he caught on and how often he does it. Between the signing and all 4 molars finally coming in, the screaming is almost all gone.
• We all got entrance bracelets when we went to the corn maze in the middle of October. Sydney is still wearing hers. She has covered it in black tape and refuses to take it off. I told her it is starting to smell and she told me she washes it every time she gets in the tub.
• Abigail is obsessed with camo pants. She tries to wear them to school at least 3 times a week. I wouldn't mind it so much, but she pairs them with the most interesting tops and shoes. She says it is her style....I say it is her being lazy and not wanting to look for more clothes.
• I am in full party planning mode right now. I'm in charge of a couple of things over the next few weeks: Thursday night I have a RS dinner, Saturday night is a family party, Monday night is the Rivetal party, and then the Lasson party is the next week. Derek thinks I should be totally stressing out, but I love doing stuff like this....it makes the holidays more fun to me.
• Derek's company is in the middle of a HUGE video shoot right now. We're talking extra's and semi trucks full of equipment. They spent yesterday shooting at the airport and a hotel and today they are moving onto a couple markets and sound stages.
