Eli has been feeling a tad under the weather lately. He's had runny nose and is pretty cranky from trying to get a molar. I think it's gonna break the skin any day now. I need to find another kazoo for him because he loves this one. I've also posted a video of him just walking around blowing it (even coughing a few times). I then start taping Aiden who is excited about the card Nana sent for Halloween. "H for Hoyt" is what he says time after time.After I finished up some dishes, I found Eli sitting on his play table watching Sprout. The boys are up to about 40 min of TV a day when Brad isn't here and I have them all day. Sometimes I just need a little time to get dinner/lunch ready and/or dishes again.
When we were outside the other day, a big plane went over and Aiden waved hi to "daddy's friends." It was too cute.

This video of Aiden cracks me up. He was walking around the house saying, "me so cute." He does hear me say that quite often because it's true but it was so funny to hear him say it. I wanted him to say the whole thing but by the time I realized what he was saying and found the video camera, he didn't want to do it anymore.Aiden helped me decorate some more. Nana sent some window clings and we picked some out to put up on the mirrors and sliding glass doors.
In the package she sent, she also sent a coloring book. Aiden is just starting to understand trying to stay in lines and attempts it for about 1 min and then goes back to his normal coloring. Aiden and I have been doing crafts quite a bit lately.
On Saturday night, I went to our sunday school church party. It was lots of fun but I wish Brad could have been there. We did a white elephant gift exchange (<$10) and I was a little frustrated when I picked the Cinderella puzzle that I think I saw at the dollar store. Needless to say, no one wanted it. However, when the last person got their gift and didn't want to exchange with me (shocker), someone said for me to open the puzzle. I did and beside the bag of puzzle inside the box was also a $25 gift card to a restaurant!! Score!

I also uploaded a video of Eli carrying this bad around. He was pretty focused on it for a while.
He then wanted his rake to play with a former ant mound. This kept him busy for a while until he broke his $1 rake. He was very upset and wanted me to fix it. I told him that while many things can be fixed, some can't and this one of the toys that can't be fixed. He was sad :(
I cut Aiden's hair while Eli was playing outside. I was going to cut Eli's too but the trimmers needed a charge. Aiden said he would cut Eli's hair with his saw. It was too funny. Eli wasn't so sure about the whole thing and thing and then wanted to grab the saw which then made Aiden very upset.
After we ate dinner last night, I changed the boys into their jammies and we headed out to see Christmas lights. We did this a few days ago but I told Aiden hopefully there would be more lights up after the weekend. We saw some cool lights but need to go out one more time to finish looking in our area.
This last picture is the boys in their new jackets. Eli's is big but I figure I'd rather have it big than small. I got Aiden's a Gap Kids on Friday. I showed up to Gymboree early and had to wonder around the mall for a bit. They had their sweaters and jammies 50% off so we got it for $12.50. Nice! He picked out the blue.
After nap time yesterday, we went outside for a bit in the backyard. Aiden can actually hammer in these nails on his workbench. I was a bit surprised.

Eli was all over the place playing with everything. Aiden is still learning how to share and Eli still has no idea that he can't have everything. It's is ongoing battle and I'm sure it will be for a long while.

I made an Advent calendar off of familyfun.com and Aiden and do it everyday. We have the day stared when dad comes home and he know at the top of the tree (the 25th) is when we get to have to have a birthday party for Jesus and open presents. He's pretty excited about the present part and wants me to make a fish cake (pretty appropriate) for the birthday party for Jesus (that was his birthday cake too this year if you missed it).
