Friday was of course October 31st and our children were dressed as a Candy Corn and a Bumblebee. We went trick-or-treating to a few places and then went to the Family Fun Fest at the Civic Center. It's put on every year by a local church and we'd never tried it before. It was fabulous!!! There were three big rooms full of fun things for kids to do. There were ring tosses, bean bag tosses, face painting, an awesome inflatable, and LOTS of candy! It's nice that it takes place indoors too because it doesn't matter what the weather is doing - everybody is dry, comfortable and happy. :) Lily loved it and after every booth she'd say, "Can we try something else??? Can we play another game???" She just had a ball and I'm sure we'll be back at the fun fest next year. :)
Taylor is doing really well. His personality is really blossoming. He is just such a fun little guy. He is so alert and is always turning his head and craning his neck to check things out. His eczema has been better the last few days. I've really made an effort to keep his face moisturized, especially while he's sleeping. I had a total epiphany while Dave and April were here. Hailey had some terrible eczema on her face/neck and has been put on a steroid cream which cleared her skin up. But before that she used to wake up throughout the night and they think her face was bothering her. Taylor often wakes up and scratches at his face and so I wonder if his skin is bothering him too??? And if we could give him some relief would he sleep better? His 4 month well child exam is coming up and I'm planning to discuss that with our doctor. He has decided that he doesn't like bottles. He was doing so well with that and then we slacked off for awhile and now he refuses! It's so frustrating. But since nursing is going well I'm trying to hang in there. I stopped nursing Lily at 3 months so I've already nursed him longer and I feel good about that.
The weather has been absolutely phenomenal around here for NOVEMBER! Yesterday we went for a stroller ride to the park. Lily had a light jacket on and Taylor just had his little hat and I covered his legs with a blanket. It was just gorgeous. Today was beautiful again but I think this may be the end of it. :( Winter is coming...
So here are some pics of the week. I'll save my comments about today's historic election for another time...

He had a good time being outside too. He can join his sister on the swings next year. :)
Look how hard she's focused on climing up the slide - she's got her tongue out :)
