Nolan's Big Boy Bedroom!

I am so excited about Nolan's Big Boy Room!  We chose a vintage airplane theme, and we bought him bunk beds.  We decided to skip the toddler bed, and go right to a big bed.  Nolan is super excited about his new room too!  Today, I finally got around to placing the bedding on the beds.  I am still in the process of decorating, but I wanted to share some pictures.  We have not yet moved Nolan into the new room, and it will be a gradual process.  He likes his crib, and doesn't try to climb out, so for now that just seems to work for us.

Gotta love the little man, telling me, "mommy this is a FORT!"

Take note of Nolan climbing through from the bed onto the desk!

Just relaxing!

Trick or Treating

Halloween is finally here, and the day Nolan has been waiting for has arrived.  TRICK OR TREATING!  He decided to dress as Thomas the Train, and he was ready to be off and go about the neighborhood.

And Nolan's favorite dog other than Wrigley...Montgomery!

Thomas the Train Pajamas!

Nolan received these adorable Thomas the Train PJ's from Grandma Nancy for Halloween!  And he was eager to try them on.  I think since he doesn't seem to want to be a dinosaur for Halloween, maybe tomorrow he will Trick or Treat as Thomas!

Palatine Park District Halloween 2010

We had an exceptionally FUN day today at the Park District's Halloween Party.  Nolan was lucky and both of his Grandma's came to celebrate, along with Grandpa Rich.  He played several carnival games, two of his favorites were Hockey, and Golf, along with all the other fun bean bag type games.  I had to giggle when he picked out a prize at each game, and he picked a lollipop every single time!  I guess we know he loves LOLLIPOPS!

I really liked the Hockey, I even went back to play this one again!

Basketball was lots of fun too!

And Golf, I am taking after my Daddy!

Gym Time Fun!

An Artist in the Making!

Halloween Preschool Fun 2010

Today, Nolan had his preschool Halloween Party at Holy Family, it was really a great little party.  All the children seemed to be so happy when the parents arrived to join in the festivities.  They played party games, and won prizes.  They did musical carpets, and played with the parachute.  At the end of the morning he told me, "school is so FUN!"  I am glad he loves to go to preschool!  He really seems to enjoy it, and I frequently hear about his teachers Mrs. G, and Mrs. S throughout his week.
