Randomness

I am not sure that is even a word but it describes the pictures below! And speaking of random... My friend Holly and I were taking advantage of the beautiful weather this afternoon by taking a walk with the kids and on the way back home a man came out of his house and said Hey girls can I talk to you a minute. So immediately we are wondering what he wants with us! He began telling us that he has a friend that he e-mails everyday in England and he has been telling him how great the weather is and he wanted to know if he could take a picture of us to send him! Okay so as he went in the house to get his camera we starting laughing because we were thinking surely he can't he a weirdo because here we are two moms not showered and can't remember if we had brushed out teeth! He thanked us and told us we would be on our way to England that night. The beauty of the Internet.




So much candy so little time!
She loved the ducks! We had to pull her out by her moccasins!
Head out on the highway! Looking for Adventure!
Born to be wild!! This is Joanna. Holly's little girl.

This is Nate and his buddy Ella. She stayed with us one day and we had too much fun!

This is the two of them at Halloween. Nate would have made a cute Bam-Bam to match Pebbles!
Brian and I borrowed this rickshaw from a friend to see how the kids would like it. It was fun for a little while then Jenna would get tired of being that close to Nate.

Jenna's Almost Birthday

We celebrated Thanksgiving this weekend with my parents and decided to Happy Birthday Jenna early. We are going to have her party at her Nanny and Pa's house Thanksgiving weekend. She was not too sure about the cake but she looked so cute in her crown!

Trying her cake!

Halloween Cuties

Sorry for the delay with the Halloween picture! They were so cute and had lots of fun at the fall festival. I will post the rest of those pictures later!

Happy Birthday!!!

Hey I just wanted to say Happy Birthday to my wonderful sis-in-law Susan!!
We love you! (that is the real reason that I sent Jenna up there early -just for your birthday present:)
See you this weekend!

Never say...

Never say that your day can not get any worse!!!! Friday was just one of those days. Our sweet Jenna has been sick for the past few days so she has not been sleeping well. Therefore neither has mommy. We took her to the doctor on Thurs and Friday she just did not want to let go of mommy. That is fine until you throw her active brother in the mix so Friday was finding creative ways to play with him and ride her on my hip. At about 3 the doctor called to let us know to start her medicine so we were getting ready to head to the pharmacy to pick it up. Well my too smart boy locked the doors on the car and when I got both of them strapped in the car, I shut the door! So there they are strapped in and locked in. I tried not the go into panic mood but I was quickly approaching this emotion!!! I asked Nate to unlock the door ( he can reach the lock with his foot) to this he replies no mommy do it. Calmly I say no mommy needs you to and this conversation continues. I then pulled out the incentive - reese's. I told him that I would give him a piece of candy if he would unlock the door for mommy. I then added that I might even give him two! So this got him motivated and the door was opened. Lesson learned! Then we traipse into target get the medicine and are on the way home when mommy looks up and sees the cop car! Yes I got pulled over. He asked me if there was a family emergency-I guess I could have given him my sob story about my day but hey I was speeding and just ready to get home. The funny part comes when I look in the rear view mirror and at the red light sits my sweet husband trying to figure out if this is his wife or not. So I just leaned forward and waved. As I walked in the door I said don't ever say this day can not get worse! Being the great man that he is he said you go do what you need to I got the kids. I think he knew that I was ready to give it up!! Needless to say the weekend has been much better:)
