It's Halloween, another birthday for Lucian. He is officially five years old and has grown so much. His birthday was a little rough on him this year. He didn't get enough sleep the night before and that took a toll on him throughout the day. Even with a family nap. The day was filled with cartoons, playing, cake and presents. We didn't go all out this year like in previous years. We didn't have a party. But we did have a balloon scavenger hunt that he really enjoyed. Plus, he got to pop the balloons to find some little toys inside. Mostly bouncy balls. It's hard to fit things in balloons. I think it would have been a busier day if I wasn't so exhausted. Baby brother decided he was going to arrive very early in the morning on his big brother's birthday. That's right, the baby has arrived and it's a boy! And they are exactly 5 years apart to the day. I was hoping to avoid it, but the universe decided that they should share a birthday. We will have to figure that one out in the future, but for now we will just enjoy our time together. The best thing is, Lucian has been getting lots of attention from his grandparents. His imagination is vast. He can come up with long stories and play on it for hours. I didn't realize how big Lucian was getting until baby brother has come. Walking around with a newborn really put the size of Lucian in prospective. He is huge. Almost as big as myself. I can hardly believe it.
But tonight is Halloween. We have trick or treating to do. Lucian has decided to dress up as the red bird from angry birds. I finished his costume right before going into labor. That is another story altogether. Tonight is about family and festive holidays. I hope everyone gets to enjoy this time of year. It is certainly my favorite time. Right now I'm feeling blessed to be around family. Now mine has been expanded by one. I can't wait to see what is to come. I'm especially grateful for my boys: Lucian and Apollo. For more Halloweens and adventures to come.
Happy Birthday Lucian!
Welcome and Happy Birthday Apollo!
