Push-up

The kids think it's funny when Maddie plays on her tummy... they think she's doing push-ups! :0) She loves to play on her tummy and she's rolled over at Lisa's house... but of course, she hasn't done that yet for Mommy.

Decorated

Yesterday the boys came running to me, giggling with delight. They were so proud of themselves!!! They said, "Mommy! Come look... we decorated Maddie!"

Preschool Thanksgiving

On Tuesday, Westside Preschool celebrated Thanksgiving. Here is Joey's class full of pilgrims and Joey with his friend, Hunter who he is most thankful for.

Fuzzy Wuzzy

The first week of November has been unusually warm... averaging a high of 72F each day. But last week it got downright chilly. Here's Maddie sporting her funky fall jacket!

Halloween Fun!!

Jennifer and I picked the scariest costumes ever!!!... we dressed up like Pastor John and Pastor Lindell!!!

Halloween meant Mommy had to get EIGHT costumes/outfits together! All 5 of us had a costume Friday night PLUS.... Riley had Career Day at school, Mira had Jammie Day at school, and Joey had Nursery Rhyme Day at preschool. Here Riley is dressed as a soldier, Mira in her Halloween jammies, and Joey was "Old King Cole". He recited the nursery rhyme in front of his class. This kid has a TERIFFIC memory!

Maddie tried on my "Pastor John" wig. I think she looked like a Cabbage Patch Kid!! Too cute!

More from Halloween

My storm trooper and my spider man!! Joey was supposed to be a transformer but we lost his costume.... and then found it 2 days later!! Oh well... now he has a costume for next year!

My 2 beautiful girls... my butterfly and my fairy princess.
