Cold Season

Oh Yeah! The cold season has hit! Each one of us has had one symptom or another. K an ear infection, B a runny nose, P and A a cough, Jacee has had a bit of both here and there, and I have had a cold. I think J is the only one who has not had anything but a headache and I am sure that was due to lack of wanting to do homework! :) Well, here's hoping we are all getting it out of the way before February. I would hate to bring home a new baby to a house full of sick people!

Stupid Bird


No it's not dead just in shock!


The other day on our way out a bird flew in! Crazy stupid bird I know it really didn't know any better but it sure was having a hard time getting out I don't know how many times it hit one window or another. It reminded me of the Windex commercials where the bird hits the window not realizing there is a window. Except our windows are far from clean. Anyways it kept hitting the window and at one point it hit the back door so hard it fell to the floor. It seemed to be in shock and would not move but we eventually got it shooed out the garage door!

Halloween

My favorite part of Halloween was carving pumpkins. K did not want to touch the pumpkin guts which is so funny since he is such a boy (don't boys like gross things?)

A Day at the Park




Last week we walked over to the park to get some fresh air and sunshine! It was a bit cold but worth it. Sometimes you just need to be outside! 10/28/08

Sweet Indulgence!









There isn't much better than a huge chocolate chip cookie topped with ice cream, fudge, caramel, and whipped cream! Their eyes completely lit up when they saw what desert was!

Monkey Bar Mug Shots (veiwer discretion advised!)



This was taken this morning before school. She looks a little better!


So a couple weeks ago the nurse from school called to inform me that A had fallen from the monkey bars and had a goose egg on her head. She said it had gone down quite a bit just since she had been in the office and had put ice on it. I can only imagine how big it must have been right after the fall because by the time I saw her it was HUGE! I know why they call it a goose egg it really was the size of an egg! Photos do not do justice on this one!
Yesterday evening Aspyn comes running in the house yelling B fell off the monkey bars and has a bloody nose! B of course (I wouldn't expect anything less from my Drama Queen whom I love) was screaming or should I say shrilling either way she was completely flipping out. So we grab her a paper towel and she calms so I can see the damage. She bit her inner lower lip luckily not all the way through, she scrapped up her nose (hopefully not broken still too swollen to tell), and hopefully she won't have a black eye.
Neither of them wanted their photo taken but cooperated Mug Shot style!




Photo Shoot








It was such a bright beautiful fall day so I thought I would get a few photos of JC. She was soo cooperative and cute. It ended up being a bit too bright and shadowy but I did get a few that I love. K decided he wanted his picture taken too. He was super cooperative as well. They are such cute stinkers! (Unfortunately the other 3 were at school. At some point I will have to get some of them before it is too cold!)
