Weiner Dog Day

Conner thinks that Halloween is called Weiner Dog Day. Meme bought him this book. It is about a little weiner dog named Oscar whose mother has him dress up like a hot dog for Halloween. All of the other dogs make fun of him, but he ends up saving the day! Anyway, Conner has been looking at that book in Judd's car. It stays in there and he reads it every time he rides with Judd. Conner has been talking about "Weiner Dog Day" for a couple of weeks now. He has been asking me if it is "Weiner Dog Day" yet; I could never figure it out. Well, this evening he said that he was going to be a weiner dog for Halloween and it all became clear!

Funday Sunday

We have had some rough weekends lately. The kids are tired and so are we. Friday and Saturday Conner had a really bad nights. He didn't sleep very much and he was extremely foul. Saturday, he had one of his terrible, hysterical meltdowns and I ended up driving him around to get him to fall asleep.

Well, he woke up delightful this morning at 5:30, but I didn't mind. He was soooo sweet and had gotten his much needed rest. He had gone to be at 7:00 the night before.

The weather was brisk and chilly. Conner asked me ALL day if it was Christmas time yet. I kept telling him "not yet." When we were putting on our jackets to go to the park he asked if he could have his mittens and if it was going to snow. He was cracking me up!! One day of a little chilliness in the air and he thinks it is going to snow.

We had a great day. We went to the park and played. The weather was fabulous. We got some burritos from Jumburrito, went home, ate, and ALL took naps. We all needed it.

Both of the kids seemed more rested and happy today. They were so cute and funny. It was a great relief and blessing to to relax and enjoy each other today!!
