Belated Halloween/Late October Post

For some reason I have had issues with wanting to post blogs lately. I have been trying to get motivated for the past week to make this post. I am now combining a few posts into one b/c of my laziness. I have alot to cover, so here goes:
The week of Halloween I bought Brendon a very large pumpkin and I let him and Eric carve it with a template Eric got off of the internet. I think they did a great job.

On Halloween, we of course decided to go Trick or Treat with Heather and her two kids Cody and Maddox. Brendon and Cody are only 2 months apart in age, and have become very good friends over the past year. Cody was some sort of psycho clown and Brendon was Darth Vader.

Maddox looked adorable in his chicken suit, but b/c he had not had a nap he was pretty ticked off that his mommy kept trying to put the hood on. He really did look adorable.

I think that Heather and I did pretty well keeping up with the kids considering we are both pregnant. We made it to the retirement home, through her neighborhood, and then another neighborhood before it was just too cold to do any more. When we got back to her house, we dumped all of the candy out over top of Brendon and Cody. This is Brendon's new favorite thing to do on Halloween.

As most of you know, I hate cats! There have only been a select few that I have ever cared for. Well, meet the newest addition to our family. The kitten appeared on our doorstep about two months ago. For two days he sat on our doorstep meowing and I could not get him to go away. After two days, I knew he had not eaten anything, so we fed him, and decided to keep him. I have to admit, he is the sweetest kitty I have ever come in contact with. Brendon loves him. We named him Spagetti Cat, and you will only get that if you watch "The Soup" on E!.

Brendon is now enjoying being a member of the cub scouts. Last week he got to go to a city council meeting, and say the "Pledge of Allegiance" and introduce himself. The mayor let all of the boys sit in a chair of a city council member before they all got there. It was a great experience for him and all of the kids.

In other news at the White household:

1. Despite having dyslexia, Brendon made straight A's on his report card. His teacher says that only two kids were able to get A honor roll. She also said Brendon is shaping up to be a great leader in his class, and she is giving him more responsibility. (Brendon already says he wants to go to Chapel Hill b/c they have a concierge)
2. I will be 29 in a week from today. This is my last year in my twenties. Next year is the big 3-0, but this year doesn't really feel any different than any other year in my twenties.
3. I have most of my Christmas shopping already done, and I don't have to get out in the shopping madhouse to do much more. I am very happy about that.
4. Eric and I were having trouble finding the $750 dollars for Brendon's adoption considering the holidays are right around the corner and my car needed $700 worth of work done to it. We have been praying about the situation, and told our small group to help us pray. Last week they handed us a check for $750 and told us to take care of the adoption. We were in complete shock. I immediately burst into tears. I have never seen such generous people in all of my life. Eric, Brendon and myself are very blessed to have these guys in our lives. I don't know how we can ever thank them enough. Brendon had the great idea of making some really nice gift baskets for each family, so that is what we are going to do. By the end of December Brendon will be Brendon White. He will even get a new birth certificate!
   
   And that is all I have for now...
