Dude....Jr

Nate was look'n sharp at dinner on Black Friday.

Insanity

Melissa wanted to start early. CRAZY early. Isn't it illegal to have
a Christmas tree up before thanksgiving.

First Time Ice Skating

Took Kailee and Nate ice skating for the first time....was a little leary...but with cousin Rose to help...it was a breeze. The kids took the ice very well...Kailee was skating holding onto just one of my hands after just 45 minutes.....
It was a little tough on the back...all that leaning over...but worth it to have a great first experience on the ice...definitely going back!!

Thanksgiving costume

Kailee is getting her costume ready for Thanksgiving.

School Pics

About this picture..
Kailee says "I am Kailee, I am 4 1/2 and this picture was taken at my school. I love my dad."

Missing Dad...

Kids were missing dad so much today...we took there mind of it by going to Pump It Up (the gigantic jump castle place)...I think they forgot...until we got in the car anyway!

"Wheeeeeeee!"

Funny how we gauge our children are growing up....today I thought they were going up because they both ate a Go-Gurt (yogurt in a tube) without making a total mess....makes a mother so proud.

Happy Birthday Brian

Tub Time & a sign of things to come?

Dad's on a week long business trip.....solo mom blog for 5 days.....
Kids love the tub.....2nd picture is Kailee's version of "I'm not touching you.."


She thought of this little game all by herself....sign of future activities as a teenager (minus the tub-water hopefully)? Yikes!

Bath Time

Nate decided to give himself a bath. The tub was a little small.

Fort Breakfast

For those times when you need protection from your younger brother!

Our next little rider....

Nate decided it was his turn to ride....he started riding with training wheels on his big kid bike a couple weeks ago. With the exception of not watching where he's going...oh yah...and not really being able to brake..he's good to go! YEAH NATE!


Oh yes...one more proud parent moment for the day....post his shower Nate called me in to show me this little (well not so little) prize! We couldn't be more proud....getting teary just thinking about it....

Its Started

After school/evening activities. Gymnastics! She did great.

Wake up

If your kids normally get up at 5:45am. What time do they get up when
daylight savings ends?... Even when you keep them up late trick or
treating.

4:45am

So much for getting my hour back.

Halloween Scary

Kailee, Nate and neighborhood friends just before our Trick or Treating adventure. They ran like a pack of wolves to each door.....at least the big kids....until they finally dropped (into the candy bucket)!
