What’s new?

Well, this is my attempt at finally posting something to our new site. It seems I’ve been caught up with Twitter updates and all of the other chaotic stuff that comes with life as a full-time mom that works too. If it weren’t for my iPhone, I probably would go insane.

Anyway, so what’s going on with the Stepniowski family? Halloween, one of our top picks for holidays, came and went. Skye kind of got the shaft because of her quirky need to get to bed by 7pm. We got a few pics of her in a pumpkin shirt and that was about it! As for Aidan, he was supposed to be a clone trooper but later changed his mind after we had purchased the costume. How could I resist him making a special request for me to make him a pirate? We trimmed up some jeans and a white shirt, ironed on some patches, applied tattoos, an eye patch and some fake cuts and scratches and were ready to go. It turned out quite cute, if I do say so myself. Aidan and I scoured the entire neighborhood and scored a whole bag full of candy that will probably still be sitting in our food closet come next year. But, it sure was fun collecting it. We stationed Luke outside so no one would wake up Skye. We both came to the same conclusion that our neighbors aren’t the friendliest of folk, but whatever. We usually go down to Gulfport to see my friend Karen and her family, so hanging out in our hood was somewhat of a change.

Speaking of Skye, she is growing at warp speed. Much unlike Aidan, she gets into absolutely everything and can’t sit still for a moment. I’m glad Aidan is such a cuddler because we’re not getting any cuddle time from her anytime soon. It’s all go, go go. At ten months, she’s not walking but she is scooting across the furniture. It won’t be long before she gets the courage to let go. And, then all hell officially breaks loose!

As for Aidan, he’s still doing very well in school and seems to have all of the teachers wrapped around his little finger. One of them stopped me the other day just to say how lucky I was to have such a smart and sweet little kid… ha ha. Another one calls him the “Mayor of Hunter’s Green” because he personally greets everyone and hugs the teachers. I won’t bring up the debacle at the HGE Hoe Down here because it would certainly change the tone. I’ll just say that the night ended with Aidan screaming about how much hates me on his hands and knees through the school. Fortunately, the teachers didn’t notice and only the moms caught sight. I can’t tell you how excited I am to see them all again tomorrow at the Pow Wow… woo hoo.

Hmmm… as for Luke and I, same old stuff I guess. But, there’s no complaining there. The same old stuff is pretty good if you ask me.
