On a complete whim about 2 weeks ago Alden & I decided to give his room a total makeover. The walls are all officially painted and ready for the detailing. I am absolutely exhausted from painting at least 4 coats (two of Kilz, two of paint) every day for the past three days. I am really glad the big part is over and it's all just little stuff from here on out. There is an album on my Facebook full of photos of the project that I've been updating since the idea came to fruition.
Today was Alden's first field trip! Josh & I tagged along as chaperones and had a great time. We went through the corn maze, went on a hay ride, played games, and they played in the corn crib. I'm so thankful that he was moved into the big kid class this year. I realize that he is the baby, everyone else is at least a year older than him (and some of them are three years older than he is) but he is thriving and this is just the environment he needs. They are all rough and tumble and funny and verbal. All things he wasn't getting from the previous class he was in.
He isn't doing Halloween this year, we aren't sure why. He is afraid of it or something and refusing to participate so we're just going along with it. We'll be going out this weekend to celebrate with friends and he'll be hanging out with his grandparents. I'm pretty bummed that he isn't wanting to do anything because Halloween is my favorite holiday, but I don't want to upset him any more than he already is, so I'm not pushing it.
I guess that's about it, now to attempt to get him into bed after a long day that has totally thrown us off schedule.

so tired
Alden is doing absolutely brilliantly. I heard from a professional that I'm in touch with that his school teacher has been bragging about how well he's doing in class and how much speech he's gained in just a month and a half.
This week is the book fair and he's spent $28 there, and I thought I was obsessed with the book fair when I was a kid!
He and I have started a project together to give his bedroom a makeover. We bought about $50 worth of paint to fix it up. We're going to paint over his current theme (Dr. Seuss characters) with a comic book theme. It's going to be so cool! We got my old drum kit out of storage and it's now in his bedroom. He is loving it! I'm having to get used to them being in the house. If you aren't the one behind them it can be quiet scary if you're sitting in another part of the house & there is a huge cymbal crash!
