Today I had one of those completely red-faced moments… I took Patrick to preschool and since we had brought the snack and it was heavy, they let us in before everyone else while the teachers were trying to scarf down their lunch. I put the snack away, took Patrick to go potty, and then we put his coat in his box. By the time we were done, the teachers had finished their 5 minute lunch break, and Patrick’s teacher started talking to him about going to the room. Patrick started walking into the room and when he had just gone through the door and was out of my line of sight, I realized that his teacher started making a face like she was trying not to laugh. I peaked around the corner and there was Patrick, with his pants dropped to his ankles, showing his teacher that he had spiderman undies. I nearly died!!!! We definitely need to teach Patrick that dropping your pants is not something to do in front of people, and I’m just hoping that he hasn’t done it again for any of his classmates today at preschool… boy oh boy!!!!

On Thanksgiving we went over to my parents’ to celebrate along with Jonny and a few friends from church. In keeping with what seems to be a new tradition, Jonny gave Ethan his first haircut. If you remember, it was last Thanksgiving when Sammy got his first haircut, and I’ve had Andrew and Jonny hounding me for months to cut the beautiful curls on Ethan’s soft, fuzzy head. And so, in order to make it quite evident that Ethan is indeed a little boy, I finally consented to give the go ahead to cut his hair. He looks so incredibly different now, and I’m feeling a bit sad that we no longer have a Mr. Curlylocks…

And now to the pictures…

Full of yummy food, covered in sweet potatoes, and ready for a haircut

This isn’t too bad!

Mommy had to hold my head steady so I wouldn’t wiggle too much

It all continues to come off…

Uncle Jonny is good at this

Time to do the top…

Definitely not the fun part…

All done, and we have a whole new man in the house!!!
