Night times around here are not much different than our day times...CrAZy!! Between Jaden's sleepwalking and Night Terrors, Chloe's inability to stay in her own bed, and Maddie's need for midnight potty breaks, sometimes sleep comes only in our daydreams. The other night when I checked on the kids before I went to bed, it came as no surprise to me that Chloe was not in her bed. What was a surprise, however, was when I checked on Lexie I could see her and two little legs, but no Chloe. Somehow, someway, the top half of Chloe's body had fallen off of the bed, and it didn't wake her up...she was literally sleeping on her head!!

Here we go AGAIN!!!
Tonight was Jaden's first game playing in the "big" league. His team is made up of 3rd graders playing in a 4th grade division. You wouldn't think that that much would change in one year, but it has. All dressed down in his Bobcat uniform, proudly wearing the number 3, he was all ready to go...
With two little Cheerleaders in tow!
This is the first season in which his team has played full court, 5 on 5 with 4 quarters, fouls counting against you, and foul shots being shot.
Jaden actually fouled out tonight--and I have to say, I was a little surprised. He's not really one that enjoys watching from the sidelines, so even though he was benched, he was still "in" the game.
Our season didn't quite get the start that we wanted, but a little piece of humble pie never hurt anybody...especially our team!!

What a month! Much like for everyone, this has been a crazy month at the Schwab house. Between football games and practices, the start of Jaden's basketball season, and all the extra activities Travis has to attend...who new life could get so crazy. I've been horrible at keeping up with posts so I'll try to fill you in in one big swoop! As I've said before, we have been very blessed over the years to get to know some wonderful young men through coaching basketball. Each year my kids grow quite fond of particular players, and one of the boys from this past season was Bo Dayton. What a wonderful young man. Jaden had actually wanted Bo to baptize him, but because of timing (him leaving on a mission) he wasn't able too. The night Bo left for Salt Lake to enter the MTC he stopped by to take a quick picture with the kiddos...Thanks Bo, this meant the world to us!!!
This month brought lots of sickness to our house. Chloe was diagnosed with Mono (crazy how a 4 year old can get the "kissing" disease, makes you wonder what actually goes on at preschool), followed by a full-on outbreak of the actual Flu; everyone got it except for me...knock on wood. (Here the kids are enjoying some chicken noodle soup with their "throw-up" bowls close at hand.)
Jaden has only been doing Cub Scouts for a couple of months now, since we were gone all summer, and he was so excited to get his Bobcat.
Like most "new" things, he is loving Cub Scouts. He was beaming from ear to ear when I was able to pin his new Bobcat patch on his shirt...I forget it's the simple things in life that make kids so happy!
Of course, you can't have Halloween without carving pumpkins. I personally wouldn't mind skipping this part of the Halloween tradition, I detest the scrapping out of the pumpkin guts and the nasty smell, as well as the mess, but since Travis was correcting the kid's homework...
I did my "Motherly duty" and helped them out.
The kids had a great time, and the pumpkins turned out pretty cute--the only mishap for this year was Chloe's hair catching on fire...not big thing right?!
Like in most schools, the kids were able to wear their Halloween costumes on Friday. After much debate and deliberation, Lexie and Jaden decided to be babies...
and Chloe decided to be a witch.
Halloween day was such a long day for the kids, they were anxious, and crazy, and bouncing off the walls. I tried to help pass the time by making caramel apples...but unfortunately, it doesn't take as long as one would hope!
Finally it was time to get dressed and ready to go. Jaden decided being a baby wasn't manly enough for him so for Trick-or-Treating he decide to change things up and be a Dallas Cowboy football player.
Even Maddie joined in on the festivities and allowed me to put Chloe's witch hat on her...for a very short second!
We had a great night! The kids got lots of candy, and at 46 degrees, the weather was actually pretty warm!
