Keepin' the kiddies entertained...

I'll do just about anything to buy myself a few minutes to get some things done. Lately, Josie has been GLUED to my leg. I can't do anything without her within inches of me- and I can't even THINK about going anywhere without her permission, (which she rarely gives me) -so when I realized that she had a hard time getting out of this laundry basket, I decided to put both kids in them and put them in front of the tv! Brilliant, right? She quickly taught herself how to get out, and that was the end of that... but I think I got a good 15 minutes to do some things around the house, so I considered my idea a success!

tHe LiGhTs ArE uP!

Mark took advantage of the nice weather last Saturday and put our Christmas lights up! He talked Jonah into getting on the roof with him, I know... why did I let him do that? Jonah felt like such a big kid helping Dad. He was so proud of himself for being so brave. I know you're not supposed to turn your lights on until after Thanksgiving, but I think it makes my house look cute so I'm turning them on now!



I tried to get a picture of Josie outside that day, but she thought it was a fun game to not look at me when I'd say her name. What a stinker!

A trip to the Fire Station

Jonah is loving his preschool so much. His teacher is awesome and he really is learning a ton of stuff. His class went to the Fire Station a few weeks ago. It was his very first field trip so I volunteered to help. The Firemen were so funny with the kids. They had them laughing so hard. It was a really fun trip for him. On the way back to preschool I had one of the kid's from Jonah's class in my car. Well, he was saying that his stomach hurt really bad which I was getting a little nervous about. The second that we pulled into his preschool, the kid opened the door and threw up everywhere! I was extremely glad that he opened the door so that none of it was in my car. Can you imagine how awful that would be? Poor kid.

Orange Crush

I'm a little late posting these pictures. Jonah was on the funnest little fall soccer team. They were the ORANGE CRUSH and were actually pretty good! They won almost all of their games (they don't really keep score, but we do!) and Jonah had a blast. I just loved dressing him up in his tiny shin guards and tiny cleats.

Halloween

Here's Jonah and Josie in their Halloween Costumes...

And I just had to include this picture of the kids last Halloween.
It's so crazy how fast they grow up!
