Everyday Happening

Today the weather outside is absolutely perfect, its 70* with clear, sunny skies. Our adventure to the park will begin after naptime...or rest time as we call it since Aiden doesn't know what the word NAP means! Although I thought for sure he was going to nap today, since we had a complete melt down at the library today...the poor kid didn't want to leave, but who would, they had 2 lego tables, a magnetic car table, a puzzle table, busy beads and tons of books!
We are all getting excited about our up and coming trip to RI in Dec! I told Aiden he is going for his birthday and every morning he has been waking up, asking if its his birthday and singing Happy Birthday to himself! Its really cute...but the sad part is I have another 70 days of him singing to himself! LOL!
This past weekend we went to the White Sands Hot Air Balloon Invitational. It was a blast. I got everyone in the house up around 6am to get there for 7am, which of course turned into 730am! But it felt GREAT to wake the kids up...and when they both fussed at my waking them up, I ever so lovinly said "How does it feel to be woken up, sweetie?" I loved it...give them a taste of thier own medicine. Anyways, the hot air balloons were fabulous and we had a great time. We went down to the main deck and were smoozing with all the people who worked there, we don't even know if we were allowed to be there, but as a result we got free coffee & donuts and a free ride in the hot air balloon for all 4 of us...of course it was tethered but it was still fun!
This up coming weekend we are going to Oktoberfest. This base also houses the German Air Force so we will be having a proper Oktoberfest in the German Hanger. They are flying in beer, food and entertainment the night before the festivities being. The kids and I won't be staying as long as Todd since it doesn't end until way past the kids bed time.
There are lots of upcoming Fall Festivies here in Alamogordo and surrounding areas. I still can't believe how many people said this base was horrible and that we'd hate it here....when in fact we love it!
Perfect timing- the kiddos are done with thier nap- aka Keegan is awake and Aiden is saying "Good Morning Aiden, How'd you sleep?" So its off to the park we go on this wonderful day!
