Bitty wore his costume today (yay!) and he was soooo adorable :). Maybe he was just waiting for the actual day to arrive? He actually went trick-or-treating for the first time ever. We went to about five or six houses and then he was ready to come home. He scored some M&M's so he was excited about that. :) Cuddlebug and Bearhug took off ahead of us and made the rounds of the whole neighborhood along with their friend and his parents. Pictures coming soon! :)Published with Blogger-droid...

Pilchard costume
Comments (3)Labels: autism, Halloween, pictures
In years past Bitty really hasn't shown any interest in Halloween. I love Halloween, so I was pretty excited when I asked him what he wanted to dress up as this year instead of saying "no" or ignoring me, he said, "you want to wear Pilchard." Pilchard is, of course, Bob the Builder's cat.I asked him several times for a couple of weeks to make sure he really wanted to be Pilchard...
Pumpkin patch!

Last weekend we took the boys to visit a local farm to find pumpkins :). It was Bitty's first visit (I've taken Cuddlebug and Bearhug before). We ended up coming home with some yummy pumpkin bread, apple bread, and honey in addition to the pumpkins :).Checking out the pumpkins:Pulling a wagon full of pumpkins is good "heavy work."These caught Bitty's attention - Pokemon pumpkins,...

We took the whole family to the Family Fun Day this year. Dh took Cuddlebug and Bearhug to the inflatables, where they spent most of their time bouncing :).Meanwhile, I took Bitty on the train ride (he wasn't quite sure what to think of it at first, but he was enjoying himself by the time we finished).After that we went to the petting zoo, Bitty loved it and we spent the rest...

Magic Marker Monday: Helping others
1 commentsLabels: Magic Marker Monday, school, social awareness, writing
When the 4th and 5th graders were offered a chance to run for student council, both Bearhug and Cuddlebug decided they wanted to run (they each ran for different positions). One of the requirements was to write a short essay describing a time they helped someone and what they learned from it. Here are their essays (click to enlarge).Cuddlebug wrote about helping a Kindergartener...

Trout hatchery
Comments (2)Labels: family, fishing, pictures
A few weeks ago we took the boys to the trout hatchery to check it out. They raise trout, and also have a fishing pond where you can fish for trout and are pretty much guaranteed to catch something ;). Great place to take kids!They had a box of fish food there, the boys had a great time feeding the fish :).After feeding the fish, we headed down the trail to the fishing pond.Since...
