Here are pics of the Train set Caleb and I built. He loves watching the trains go.

We had a nice week. Nothing too exciting. Wed Caleb and I had a playdate with a friend named JoAnna and her 2 yr old son Christian. We met at a McDonalds so the kids could play. Caleb had fun, he loves going down the slides. We are going to try and get together once a week. They live about 20 min north of us. Mike had to work in Tallahassee Thursday and Friday. Saturday we looked at a few new home builds, didn't find anything we liked. We have decided that when our lease is up, to buy a house. No point in throwing money down the toilet to rent. Maybe we will look at a resale. Central Florida's real estate is just as horrible as Phx, with hundreds of homes being sold at auctions due to foreclosers. We may look into that. I'd like to stay in this general neighborhood as it is "One of the most sought after addresses in Central Florida, a prestigious gated community" according to the paper. lol. I'd buy this house if they'd sell it. Especially since the kids friends live within easy walking distance. We also bought the boys Halloween costumes. Christina didn't want to get one, until she knew if she was going to do anything. They picked them out by themselves. We were surprised at Calebs choice, since he really hasn't watched Toy Story at all. (Zachary used to love it and watch it daily). They have 2 Woody dolls, and as soon as we got home Caleb ran in, got the dolls, and asked to wear his costume. He wore it for hours! Zachary's surprised us because he doesn't watch Nemo, and never plays anything Nemo, yet, this was what he wanted. (Caleb loves to watch Nemo) Isn't that funny? We are leaving on Wed for Pensacola. Mike has to work there on Friday, but its a 6 hour drive, so we decided to leave Wed when the kids get out early, and head up. We will come back on Sunday. (There is no school on Thur and Fri) We were looking at hotels, and then looked at Condos. They are a much better deal than a hotel. Especially for 4 days. We got a 2 bedroom, 2 bath full kitchen, laundry room, 2 balconies, right on the beach. (In the pics it looks like the one we had while in Florida last year) A full kitchen will be great with the kids. Christina is bringing a friend. It will eliminate eating out 3 meals a day! The weather is supposed to finally cool down a bit. I cant believe Phx is cooler than we are. Yesterday you had 79 degrees! We were 87, but with the humidity it felt 99. Pensacola is much cooler, today's paper says a forecast of 65 - 46 there! BRRR! I better pack some jackets. If I can find them. I had better look! If anybody wants to buy the boys clothes for Christmas please get them these sizes: Zachary a size 6, Caleb a size 5. Caleb is 41 inches tall and weighs 35 lbs, Zachary is 43 inches and weighs 40 lbs. I really hope that Caleb doesn't get taller than Zachary anytime soon. People already think they are twins. I don't want people thinking Caleb is the BIG brother. When it comes to shorts they both fit in 4's or 5's or an adjustable waistband. They really don't need any pants. Christina will send you her Christmas List. I know she is working on it. Or rather, she is working on a list of what NOT to get her. *sigh* Here is a picture of our 'bright' house. It doesnt look so bright in the picture, taken at 6 am, but considering noone else has lights on, it stands out. Especially with normal lightbulbs on the garage instead of Halloween ones. lol

I hope everyone has a good week. I'll let you know how Pensacola is. Lets hope there are no more tornadoes like the one that ripped thru there last week.
