Halloween Costumes
As expected, Jacob is Harry Potter, and William chose Sponge Bob. At least, they are predictable!

Busy Thursday
Yesterday was a VERY busy day. I went on Jacob's field trip to the Western Museum of Mining and Industry. It was very interesting, and I actually learned quite a bit. The kids seemed to enjoy it too. We learned about steam engines, watched a movie, panned for gold and did an exercise with cookies to further understand mining. Afterwards, we ate our sack lunches outside. It was a beautiful October day.
Later that evening, the Norrie's attended a sibling class hosted by the hospital. It was just a 1 hour class to get the boys used to and thinking about how to behave around the new baby. They learned how to put on a diaper, fold a swaddling blanket, watched a movie, took a hospital tour, read a story and at the end they each got a 'I'm a big brother" t-shirt. William wasn't interested at first but he warmed up quickly and behaved like the ham that he is. Jacob couldn't stop talking.

Baby Shower
The baby shower was Saturday, October 15, and it was wonderful. My cousin, Jen, did an amazing job and my friend Patty cooked some excellent food! Thank you to all who came! It was so much fun.

An IKEA Birthday
October 8th was mom's birthday and we went to IKEA. It was a lot of fun. It wasn't easy getting there since it was the first snow and there 5 wrecks on I-25 but we made it.
After shopping, we worked up quite an appetite. The line was just like at Disney - long but always moving. The food was yummy. I had the Swedish meatballs, mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese - no veggies for me! Mom had fish, veggies and mashed potatoes. And of course, we had to have dessert.
My one suggestion if you're going, remember to be patient. You are going to be there a long time. There's lots to see and lots of people doing the same. So relax and have fun and get some cheap stuff!
