A man's job...carving a pumpkin??????

We, John carved pumpkins last night, and yes he did use an electric saw or some type of manly tool. I guess a good old kitchen knife is not good enough. We were overly zealous and opened up 3 pumpkins to carve. Kate wanted to nurse, and Hannah was only interested in the 1st pumpkin, so daddy had to do it all.

The Ultimate

Today, actually this morning... I get up at 5:30 because that is when my precious gift from God wakes up screaming. I nurse her, remind John that if I wasn't breastfeeding he would have to get up and make a bottle and feed her. He mumbles something about having to work and I don't. He doesn't think staying home with the two kids is work, but that's an other story. Anyways, I feed her, put her back down, go throw in a load of laundry and get the clean clothes out of the dryer to fold. I turn on the television and blah blah blah something about an access code. I call frantically to Direct TV, they try and try, but to no avail. To make a long story short, in 3-5 days I will receive and access card that allows my television to work. So in the meantime...WHAT DO I DO??????

Lots to say

I haven't posted in a while, but not much has been going on. Most importantly Candace and Matt's house is okay. They were evacuated on Sunday, but no damage to their house. The last pictures show the 2 refugees/evacuees Bennett and Mallory. Candace had no clothes for them. We took them to the play yard at the mall and while she was buying them clothes she had me watch them. I made sure everyone knew they weren't mine. Bennett Mallory, come to AUNTIE. YOUR MOMMY is getting you clothes to wear!! Just kidding. Thankfully they are safe.

The girls went to my school's fall festival. They were Little Bo Peep and a lost sheep. My friend's mom had made them a few years back for her 2 kids and she lent them to us. They were very cute.

The Buckeyes won again, so Johnny is very happy. He is flying to Ohio next weekend to watch them play. Hopefully he is good luck

Sorry for the double picture of Little Bo Peep and the first picture Mallory belongs down with Bennett. This was pre having any clothes!!!

swimming in a bra

Tonight as I was giving Hannah a bath she demanded that she take a bath in her bra. NO not a real bra, she has a little undertop that matches her princess underwear. She threw a fit because I would not let her wear her 'bra' in the bath. I couldn't figure out where all this was coming. Finally as she took a quick breath in between screams, she said "Ariel wears a bra when she swims." I tried to explain to her that Ariel lives in the water. Hannah decided she wanted to live in the water too..Hmm, I'm thinking of some ideas to make it work. On a brighter note, preschool tomorrow!! I don't know who like it more, Hannah or her mom!!!

Buckeyes #1

...even if it is because every team who was in front of them in the polls has lost. Either way. The girls got new outfits from John's sister. We tried to take a picture and as usual, Kate was crying!! We had a fun day of watching the Buckeyes and all the other fun games with Julie, Seth, and Seth's mom and dad!!

Just from God!!

I have changed Kate's nickname. Her name precious gift from God has been changed. It is just from God. She unrolled an entire roll of toilet paper!!!

Hannah, Kate, and I went to Arizona for the weekend. JJ was going on a weekend getaway with some of his friends in the desert, so we were there to keep kelsey company. Only problem is that JJ went and quickly came back with food poisoning or something. So all the tivo watching, swimming, and all the other LAZY things we were going to do were interrupted by good old J. We had fun either way. The kids love being together, even though Hannah and the twins fight like crazy and they all 3 just pummel my poor precious gift from god!!!

Hannah thinks everything is hers including the Michigan uniform which her father would die if he saw her!!! She put it on, we took a few pictures and then gave it back to Kaelyn.

The Toy Whores strike again

The toy whores have struck again. Kelsey and JJ got the biggest play structure I have ever seen in a house. The kids love it, so I can't complain, but this is big time toy whore in action. The Dora play tent is more for JJ and Kelsey. Now don't get me wrong, the girls do like Dora, but it is majorly prompted by their parents. In any case, all the kids, Kate included, had a great time!!
