I know much busier moms who also happen to be awesome bloggers as well. I think when other kids are napping their moms get updating their blogs. When my kids nap, I just want to crash as well. Sometimes I do and sometimes I have to catch up with more pressing things.
Grandma Bernotski was able to help so much when she was here. I couldn't have made it without her great help. She is wonderful and I don't know who misses her more, the kids or me.
Halloween was perfect. The YW were in charge of the ward trunk-or-treat and chili cookoff. I was in charge of doing the table decorations. We made fun pumpkins out of paper. They turned out cute. By the end of the night, people were wearing them as hats.
Luke loved dressing up as a Gorilla. Noah was a sleepy pumpkin (thanks Aunt Kimmy for the cute punkin' costume). He didn't stir the whole night. Jared's costume was thrown together, but I must say he was a really cute Ratatouille. All the kiddos in the ward kept saying "HI Ratatouille!" We had fun eating chili and other yummy things. I made some chili that I like and some focaccia. Yummo!
Grandma stayed home with Noah on candy duty while we took Luke around the neighborhood trick-or-treating. Luke didn't quite get the whole candy thing at first, but he quickly caught on that this Halloween thing is a GOOD deal!!
Luke is getting to be so big. He's almost 1 1/2 years old and we decided to "try out" nursery last week at church. He saw the kids and had to be where they were. He did great and he even gave us our first refrigerator masterpiece!
With Luke growing so does his "adventurous" spirit. He's getting more daring all the time climbing and getting into anything and everything. The morning of October 30th he fell down our garage steps and banged his little noggin. He got a fairly good shiner. About a week before that, he slipped in the bathtub and got a little cut above his eye. I was worried about the cut and took him to the doctor. He didn't need stitches, thank goodness. It's healed well.
Noah is also growing by leaps and bounds. Sometimes I look at this darling little guy and think that he looks bigger all the time. We get comments on his cute face and mounds of black hair everyday!
He passed his one month mark October 30th. To commemorate we decided to have his pictures taken. The options are few--oh so very few. So I made an appointment at our only choice here locally--WalMart. Ten o'clock was our appointment and at 11:20 we left very disappointed because nobody showed up to take the photos. We did a little photo shoot at home and got a couple of good shots. Happy ONE MONTH, Noah!

Jessica-
I don't think it gets any easier, the older the kids get, the busier they are. Blogs just get put on hold. Cute pictures, I was very impressed with Jared's costume and the boys were adorable.
Your photography skills are so great! And look how much money you saved! :) Your two little boys are just the cutest! Mary Ann can't wait to play with Luke this holiday season, and we both are excited to meet little Noah. Thanks for all the sweet birthday wishes, and I'm so lucky to be the 5th Barnson sister! :) I totally understand the crashing while kids are napping thing...that's what I'm off to do! Don't see how you do it with two! Loves, Elizabeth
Jess, I love that first picture because that is how life really is. It is not always easy but it is worth it. And don't feel bad about napping, you need your rest to be a good mom. If you do not rejuvenate and take care of yourself, you can't be the best mom you can be.
Jessica,
Don't feel bad about napping instead of blogging, if you look back at my blog, for example, I blogged MUCH less when Sophia was tiny ( : That's because sleep was WAY more important than computer time. I love that first picture ( : There are certainly days and moments like that. After everyone is well, we'll have to do something together before the holidays ( :
