long absence

Ok. so it has been a really long time since i posted. ridiculous i know. halloween was great- oliver was spiderman and charlie was a chicken. oliver was sooo excited about trick or treating, he kept saying ' you mean i just go up to the house and they'll give me candy?' it was so funny and sweet! charlie stayed at home with nick crying to hand out candy to trick or treaters. she hated the hood on her costume. oliver and i drove over to my mom's house after we were done in our neighborhood, and he asked me ' what comes after halloween' i told him thanksgiving, and he asked ' now, who is going to thanksgive us?' it was hilarious b/c i had been telling him who all was coming to our house for thanksgiving (ashli, chris and girls), and he was soo excited! Another funny Oliver story is that he must be taking cues from sam (his cousin) and he told his babysitter a few months ago that his name is Oliver 'Cool' Swanson, not Oliver Cole Swanson. Pretty funny boy. In preschool he has a friend named Chloe, he came home last tuesday kind of upset and when i asked him why he said that it was because Chloe had cut her hair, ' and i just don't like it, i liked it better when it was long'. i thought that was funny that he is 3 and has an opinion about this! new with charlie, she is crawling everywhere and pulling up on everything, and she can stand for 5 seconds by herself without holding onto anything!! she can also say BYE BYE. and BABY. Very sweet (although those two sound kind of similar.) i'll leave you w/ some halloween pictures of spiderman and the baby chickie.
