Graeme Turns Five
Graeme had Show and Tell at school. He brought his Batman figure.
I brought M&M cookies (his favorite) as a treat and his class sang to him.
He got to pick his favorite breakfast which is Monkey Bread and we sang to him at breakfast.
We gave him a Spiderman flip couch.

Halloween Pics
Caroline's first Halloween
She has to wear her patch for 6 hours a day for the next three weeks. The eye is improving but, when the patch is removed, it becomes "lazy" again.
Storybook Day
Graeme had to wear a storybook character to school and bring the book with him. He was Woody from Toy Story. Of course, we had that book!
Graeme was given an early birthday present which he opened on Halloween. It was an OU football helmet, jersey and shoulder pads. He was so excited! He informed me that he was Demarco Murray.
He told Gavin he was going to be Sam Bradford. He didn't seem to mind.
Caroline was an OU cheerleader:

They went trick or treating with their cousins, Jared and Karissa. Note the football in Graeme's hand; it never left his hand the whole time he was trick or treating.

A Patch a Day...
We found out this week at the doctor that Caroline has a lazy eye. I was all ready to schedule her second surgery but this needs to be corrected before they can proceed to the next step. She has to have a patch over her left eye 3 hours a day for a week. We are praying that this will fix her lazy eye so she can have her surgery.
2 Brothers -- 1 Room
Graeme and Gavin are now sleeping in the same room. We will eventually transition them into bunk beds but this is our first step. They have done amazingly well. They both love it so much. The first night was hard for them to settle down but +3 days and they go right to sleep. Graeme keeps asking me if Gavin can sleep IN his bed with him.

Graeme's Superhero Training Camp Party
Graeme's 5th birthday party was a Superhero Training Camp theme. He dressed up as Spiderman.
There was an obstacle course, sports and other games to play beyond the fence. There were 8 stations set up; you just can't see them in this picture.
Here are all his friends. Most of them dressed up as their favorite superhero. They also decorated capes and masks once they completed their training camp.
We had a Spiderman cake and Hulk cupcakes. It was a SUPER day!!!

My Life Just Got a Little Easier...
Now that sister can sit up by herself, I can bathe all of them in the tub at once instead of in shifts. Yeah for me!

Trip to Chester's Pumpkin Patch
We all had a great time at the pumpkin patch today. Hopefully, Graeme will ride a pony next year and feed the animals. Here are some pictures of the things we did. I have no photographic abilities so I was just snapping the subjects as fast as I could. Please look beyond the fact that no one is looking at the camera and try to imagine that they are smiling RIGHT at you.
It looks like sister is standing but that is not the case.

Hey! Look at anything but me! Thanks!
MAZE
Gavin wasn't cooperating at all when it came to posing for the camera so we have some shots of Graeme by himself.
THE FAST SLIDE
They told us they waxed it the night before and I believe it! There is no stopping once you get going which is very fast and then land in a huge pile of sand. Not good for the shoes...
