Where Did October Go?!

October has come and gone! Halloween was fun! Ben was a "mischievous monkey". We took him into town to the little Halloween parade with my sister, brother in law, and their daughter. Ben didn't win the costume contest, but he definitely won first place in my eyes, but I suppose I am just a tad bit biased. Eric is currently sick so I am in super sanitize mode. The baby had a stuffy nose for two days but that is all! Fingers crossed it stays that way! I am sure to catch it a week after Eric is all better, that's usually how it goes.

I have been testing out some more recipes I have found through pinterest. I will do a post on them when I have more time! But, so far, all delicious! Man, I love pinterest and Eric does not complain when I spend 3 hours looking at recipes and pinning. The way to a mans heart...

I am so excited that Catching Fire comes out in 21 days!! Eric and I are going to see it at 9 PM. Baby is having a sleepover with Aunt Ashley, Uncle Joe, and Madeline so we can have a date night and sleep in a bit since we won't get home until late. Thankful for all the family Eric and I are surrounded by, they are always willing to take him for a night or couple hours so we can have our time together. He is so loved!

Eric and I went to see a Giants game with our good friends Brad and Heather, they have a baby 5 weeks older than Ben so that's nice. It was so much fun! I was so nervous about leaving Ben overnight for the first time but he did great and so did I! We had a blast, tailgated for a bit and grilled and our seats were awesome! Right behind the end zone. Such a great night and Eric was so happy to be at a Giants game since he didn't get to go to one last year. The drive isn't bad, either; only about 2.5 hours.

That's all the news for now, I suppose! Eric and I still make it a point to have a date every week and it has helped us to stay connected. We also spend at least an hour together after Ben goes to bed to catch up and relax together.
