5 weeks and counting!

I made it to Halloween! Next holiday is Thanksgiving and once that comes and goes Rowan is free to make his appearance.

So tomorrow is technically 6 weeks but I go by this ticker that shows 5 weeks 6 days. I plan to go natural and into labor on my own this time so I am probably going to go overdue but I am counting down just the same in hopes that shortly after Thanksgiving the Turkey and Pumpkin Pie will fatten him up enough to make him want to come out (perfect bribery in my opinion). That's the lovely unpredictability of having a child. When I told my friend about bribing him with Turkey she said "Wow the mental image for that is astounding . . . . You holding a turkey leg ummm . . . . well . . . .down there and calling for Rowan to come get the Turkey leg" The places people's minds go lol.

Halloween was pretty fun, Gavin is starting to get the hang of the trick or treating thing with help from his older cousins who are his greatest example of how to do things. He dressed as a plump spider and had his spider bucket in tow. We headed out at 6:00ish and walked around the block and around the neighborhood. I dunno if its just because I'm pregnant and my two year old already has a hard enough time with getting scared of clowns let alone anything else but I couldn't believe the stupidity of grown ADULTS! There was a man handing out candy at his house and thought it funny to wear this gruesome "phantom of the opera" type mask with blood. Of course Gavin turns tail and doesn't want to go near him, I said to him could you take your mask off so he can see you're not scary and he wouldn't do it! So I grabbed the candy from him, gave him a dirty look and left. The worst offender though was this house where a woman answered the door with two dogs so we were all distracted by the smallest (about the size of a rat) I accidentally stepped on it at one point. Well I was so distracted that I didn't see her son stick his head out the door with a horrible skeleton mask with big fangs until Gavin screamed bloody murder and clung to my legs. I was about ready to sock this kid until his mom did it for me and told him there is a little guy out here don't be dumb. Halloween and being scared when you know its fake is all good and dandy but when there is little kids that think its real, I think its terribly inapropriate and wish people would tone it down for the little ones. Luckily for us Gavin is resilient and didn't have nightmares. Sadly I didn't realize my camera's battery was dieing when we got to my parent's house so pictures will have to be sent to me and posted at a later time. Watch for updates. Hope you all had a wonderful Halloween!
