...and you will find out what my child is going to be for Halloween.

Since Iliya is so young, and he doesn't know/care about Halloween, I am having a hard time getting into the whole costume thing. People keep asking me what he is going to be, and frankly, I had no clue. We don't "do" cartoons, and right now, Iliya doesn't have a favorite book character, or anything. So I figured I would be out & about sometime & see something that he should just have. And today, I found it. (**updated to say that I bought the costume - so I already know what Iliya will be...but...)

But it's a secret till Halloween.

In lieu of telling the secret, I will give you pictures from school...I promised that in my last post. These are not great pics - but they are the ones I have!






In other news, I believe the child is turning into a snot-monkey. It's not really a "sick" snot (knock on wood) but actually, I believe there must be something in the air that is causing allergies. The snot is nice (can snot be "nice??") & clear, but I feel like we're in Russia again, when I put him to sleep & listen to him breathe. I'm not really worried about it right now - in fact, I may start him back on the Zyrtec he was on while he was in the baby home & see what that does for him.

One of the kids in his class was sent home yesterday with croup, so hopefully they caught it quickly enough so it doesn't go around the classroom.

Let's see...what else..?

Oh, that's it! Nothing! Life is pretty routine & boring right now...but routine & boring is nice. Nathan is finally off his Guard orders - which means that we will actually get to see him this weekend. Which will be awfully nice.

Did I mention that my parents came down last weekend? We had a great Friday night & Saturday with them (this is only the 2nd time they've gotten to really see Iliya). In lieu of a snazzy ending, I'm going to end with a sweet picture. This was taken when my dad & Iliya were playing in little sandbox in our backyard. And as I close, I will say have a good weekend!
