Will and I made sugar cookies this morning before school and work. The perks of working at 10am are hanging out with the kids before work! Will just got back from Utah with Blaine and Shane. They were visiting Shane's family. Will had a great time, but dang I missed him! He had a good time cutting out the cookies and I tried to let him decorate the cookies tonight before bed, but he just wanted to eat the frosting, who can blame him...


Well my Mom surprised me tonight by coming over while I was at work and decorating my tree out front for Halloween... cute!!!! She also left a pumpkin for me under the tree. It was like Christmas on Halloween. I love my Mommy!!

Well now I need to make some crafty things for a friend's baby shower...A crafting I will go...

More from the Crawfords

Hey everyone. Edward Riley's birthday us quickly approaching! Mimi is coming to town to visit us and will be here for his first birthday! We are so excited.
This weekend we had a lot of fun... The boys and I went to Kiwanis Park for a picnic with my work. We played some games and Will got to smash the heck out of a pinata.
He was so excited he shouted, " I'm gonna kick your butt!" Everyone started laughing. I was embarrassed and entertained all at the same time. It was so hot at the park, the baby eventually was stripped to his diaper and he was still not having a great time. I think he needs to be able to walk in order to enjoy a day at the park.
Will made some friends too... My co-worker has a daughter named Casey, she is three and she is adorable! Will and Casey loved going to the top of the hill and rolling the soccer ball down the hill and chasing it. It was so cute and Will had such a good time.

The Weekend Fun!

We tried the Hulk costume on the baby to start the weekend off right!

This weekend was great! Blake didn't have to work on Saturday... his first Saturday off in 4 weeks. We went to the Fat Tire Festival, but ended up drinking a couple of delicious brews at Bison Witches instead. You see the Festival was cash only and none of us had cash... So, Ricky and I went on a search for a local ATM. On our journey I jokingly told Ricky about my really bad luck with ATMs. Low and behold, the first ATM was out of service due to construction and the next one was out of money...we walked pretty far down Mill looking for the next ATM and finally called Blake and told him to meet us at Bison Witches to drink a beer and grab a sandwich. We ended up having a good time eating and drinking and repeating movie quotes. They were giving away full sized pumpkins with a Bud Light draft, so me and Ricky both got a pumpkin! It was fun!!!
Today I went to the Race for the Cure, 5k race in Phoenix. At work I am involved in a group called the Health and Wellness Committee and we are always looking for ways to stay active and involved in our community. About 7 of us registered to donate money and run in the 2008 Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. It was pretty great watching the sea of people flood downtown Phoenix for a common cause. The amount of money raised is important but it is almost secondary to the experience of seeing all of the strong women who have fought, are fighting or are supporting a person with breast cancer. I felt good being there. Here are some pics from the weekend.

I finally got my password reset!

Sorry to all... I could not access my blog because I forgot my password, again. Anyhow, things are going really well. William is in Pennsylvania with his Dad visiting Grandma. We miss him so much! I played his video game the other morning just to have the normal noise around the house... sad right?!
Speaking of Will's video game, he saved over $25 this last year and bought himself a new leapster game this weekend. I think buying his own toy helped him appreciate the process of saving for a specific item.
William and Edward have birthdays coming up. We are having a little get together on Halloween to celebrate Eddie's first b-day. It will be so great watching him destroy his first birthday cake. I will take lots of photos to show you all. Eddie is going to the Incredible Hulk, Will's choice, and Will is going to be Harry Potter. Will is so silly, he is terrified of the Harry Potter movies and yet desperately wants to dress like him for Halloween. I will definitely post pics from Halloween for you to see.
William has been making a mental list of things he would like for his birthday. During the morning cartoons it seems like every commercial break is advertising for a toy he 'must' have. So, in order to remember the things he wants, I started a wish list at Target online. I never remember what he wants for a birthday or Christmas gift, this is just an easy way to keep up with his list and it's easy to access for everyone else. I made one for Eddie too...

I will update this every week... so keep checking back... and this time I won't forget my password!
