Pink Eye
Well we got our first pink eye infection this week. Sunday night into Monday, Will started to get a nasty cold and has been up most nights coughing and sneezing. Tuesday at daycare, Will woke up with slightly pink colored eyes and goopie stuff in them. Wednesday morning he woke up with the same thick goopie stuff in his eyes and the right one was matted shut. I called Brook, an nurse practitioner and our own personal doctor = ) and she said yep, I believe he has pink eye! So I called the doctor's office to get an appointment and I was informed that he did not actually need an appointment but the nurse would call in a prescription. Will's eyes started to clear up so I insisted on bringing him in for a second opinion. And it is a good thing I did because not only did Will have pink eye but he had an ear infection as well!! And I guess just because I am a mean mom, I decided it would be a great time to get his flu shot as well. Will was a trooper though and did great. He now has eye drops and antibiotics for his ear. I stayed home with him on Wednesday and today and if you didn't know you wouldn't be able to tell he is sick...outside of the crusty nose = ) He has been running around the house playing the last two days with no problems. Sorry no pictures to post. Maybe I can get some tomorrow but seriously you can't even tell he is sick!! He has been doing something really cute in the morning though. He yells...really loud I might add...."mommy, mommy!" and I go running into his room thinking he is hurt or something and then he says "I need a tissue". He is a character.

Halloween 2010
Sorry for the delayed post! Here is an overview of our Halloween weekend:
The weekend started with a Halloween party at daycare on Friday. Will got to dress up with his friends and was super excited. Two of the boys were dinosaurs. Will thought that was great and kept telling everyone he was a garden gnome!!
Friday night Brian had to work and Will and I got an invite to a friend's house to carve pumpkins. It was a great time and Will had so much fun. He loved dancing around with his new friends!! Will was also excited about the pumpkins. He loved to see them in the dark!
The carvers!
Will and Kenall
Saturday morning we headed to the KC Pumpkin Patch with the Lattas. Will had been talking about it all week and was very excited to see Maci!
The kids rode in the wagon up to the gate but then decided they wanted to walk/run so we ditched the wagon = )
Big jumping pillow = lots of fun! (and very tired legs for me anyways)
Big chair = excited Brian = ) Cant you tell?!
Will loved playing in the corn and probably could have stayed there all day if we would have let him!
They were very excited to pick out their pumpkins!
After the pumpkin patch, we went to check out the Latta's new place for lunch. The kids had fun playing and the new apartment looks great. When we got home, Will and I took a super long nap...it was an exhausting morning! Saturday night, Brian smoked a chicken, Will played outside and I worked on our Halloween costumes.
Sunday we relaxed all day and watched the Chiefs pull out a victory (just barely!). Then we headed to the Couper's for their annual Halloween party. We had pizza, went trick or treating, sat around the fire and enjoyed great company!
Excited just thinking about trick or treating!
The Schnabel Garden Gnome Family! Or as our friends would say...Lumberjack and the 12th Dugger child!
Being silly taking pictures before trick or treating. Maci thought Will was Santa Clause when he first got in his costume. She was belly laughing she thought it was so funny. Will loved Maci's wings too!
Trick or Treating! Will either said "trick or treat" or "thank you" but for some reason couldn't get both of them together! He loved being able to pick out his own candy though. And at the last house, he took his candy and told the gentleman to shut his door. He had the routine down...someone opens the door, gives him candy, and then they shut the door and go back inside = )
Fun toys he got in the mail from Grandma and Grandpa Schnabel. Thanks!! Will loves playing the the light up toys and watching his movie.
Sorry for the long post...it was a super busy Halloween weekend but it was a ton of fun!!

Bumble Bee
Will has been learning all sorts of new songs at daycare. The bumble bee song has been the hit the last few weeks!
lyrics/translation: I'm bringing home a baby bumble bee, won't my mommy be so proud of me, I'm bringing home a baby bubble bee. Ouch! it stung me.
I'm smashing (i think) up a baby bumble bee, won't my mommy be s o proud me. It's all over me.
Last night he was also singing/saying the months of the year!! I overheard him say "March, April, May" and asked him to what he was saying and he said "January, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, October!" so he forgot February and December but seriously how smart is my child?! He amazes us every day!
And have I mentioned how great our sitter is? She is fabulous! Thanks for teaching him every day he is there!!

A Great Weekend!
This past weekend, we headed back to Sioux City to see great friends from college. We started out at a friend's place for a BBQ. There we hung out, talked and played yard games and then got ready to head out on the town! We all felt super old when we were yawning around 9 o'clock but we made it out and had a great time. On Sunday, I definitely realized how old I was when it took all day to recover. It was fun to see everyone though since it has been a couple years. Hopefully we can get together again sometime soon.
While Brian and I hung out with friends, Will got to go to Grandma and Papa's for the night. He got to play, paint a pumpkin, read books, jump on the bed and have a slumber party with grandma. What fun?! Sorry no pictures of Will from the weekend.
Here are a few pictures that I got with friends. Sorry they aren't the best. Check out Jodi's blog (http://ajemfamily.blogspot.com/)for better pictures...she really is the blog queen = )
Kyle and Aaron playing a horseshoe game of sorts
Mark and Megan's little guy Cullen. Such a cutie!
Kyle, Megan and Paige(Nate and Kristen's little girl) playing washers
Part of the gang watching the yard games
Sarah and Megan at Prince's
Jodi and Kyle at Prince's. Check out Kratz in the background...too funny!
And this is where the camera battery went dead so no more pictures for the night. It really was a ton of fun though and great to see old friends!
Thought I would add this pictures so that Will can join the post as well. This was taken last weekend when we went to the Royals game with friends. Will was super excited to get into the stadium and watch baseball!!

My future model
Tonight Brian had to work late and it was so beautiful outside, so when I picked Will up from daycare we got supper and headed to the park to eat and play. We walked a path around the park and noticed that there was a couple people taking different pictures. One girl was posing on a bench, which I am hoping was for a senior picture or something but Will was super fascinated by it and just kept watching her. We kept walking and when we got to the next bench Will said "wait mom". Then he proceeded to climb into the bench and started to lie down. I was't so sure what he was doing until he said "picture mom". He was posing just like the girl. I couldn't stop laughing. It was so cute and yet very funny at the same time. Here is the picture of our future model = )
Light the Night & Whisper Walk
This past weekend, I participated in the Light the Night walk for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society on Friday night. There was a great turn out and it was very inspiring. The walkers all carried a balloon with a light in it (red for supporters, gold for in memory, and white for survivors)and had a green light up necklace on. It was great to see all the lights after dark and all the supporters. Here are a few pictures of the event...the pictures really don't do it justice. It was really fabulous. Also, thank you to all of those who sponsored me and donated to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society!
On Sunday, Brian, Will and I participated in the Whisper Walk for ovarian cancer to honor a great lady, Rhonda! Rhonda is the mother to one of my BFFs Shannon. So it was great to join their family for the walk to honor her and then we enjoyed a fabulous BBQ at the Couper's home. Here is a picture of "Team Rhonda".
