Sorry!

Sorry it's been so long since a new post! We're still catching up from the holidays! I'll try to get some pics out tonight or tomorrow!
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Just in case I don't get a post out before Turkey Day...
have a great Thanksgiving everyone! And a great shopping day on Friday!



You all know how much the geek loves his green bean casserole!

And Perhaps The Most Exciting of All!

We can fit a car in our garage! Good work Daddy!

Mommy, I'm helping you dust...

Paper towels everywhere- with DS in the middle of all of it!

Some Pics From the Weekend...

We had a small Thanksgiving dinner this weekend with family in Boone. The kids had a great time!

Doesn't DS look like his daddy?



Look at that hair!



Not sure what DD was doing in this picture, but she's making good eye contact, huh?

Christmas Lists

Many of you have been asking what the kids could use (or want) for Christmas. Here are a few ideas for you!

DD could always use more "Dora" stuff (clothes, dolls, whatever). She has so many of the movies, I can't tell you which ones she has or doesn't have. She could also use clothes for school- she's in 3T pants and 4T shirts. As always, books are very much loved in this household!


Now, DS is all about trucks, cars, and noisy stuff. He also loves blocks (especially Duplos). We would love to start getting him some train stuff (Thomas, etc.)- preferably the bigger pieces for safety's sake!



They both do a lot of puzzles during their therapy sessions, so those would come in handy as well. I would recommend that you keep them pretty simple- 3-5 big pieces are what they're working on right now.

Feel free to give us a call if you want more ideas!

So much for daily posts...

Sorry I didn't get a post out yesterday. Life sometimes gets in the way, you know?
The geek's car has been giving us fits the past few days. Lots of trips to Napa Auto Parts... but we think it's finally fixed. It has 180,000 miles or something... sadly, it might be on it's last leg.
DD had her second session with her new speech therapist today. We're learning different techniques to use with her and figuring out what works and what doesn't. Today we learned that a 1:45pm session is much too late in the afternoon for her... she definitely needed a nap! Lesson learned.
Here's a new Thanksgiving banner I made for the fireplace! I got to use my new laminator- that always makes me happy!


I'll try to get some pics of the kids out tonight- but no promises!

Completed Room #1

Now, this blog can't be ALL about the kids!
I think we can finally declare that one room in our house is done (at least until I decide to change it AGAIN!). Not much was done with it... painting and a few knick-knacks added, but we're happy with it!






Never mind that it's the smallest room in the house (too small to get good pictures).
Never mind that it's hardly ever used... it will be the kid's bathroom once ONE of them is potty trained (maybe in 2008?)!! The potty chair was conveniently moved out of view for these pics!
One room is done- we have to start somewhere, right?

Like Father, Like Son

Maybe I'll be an engineer like Daddy when I grow up!? I LOVE building with my blocks!

He's All Boy!

DS (dear son) really is all boy! Bumps, bruises, scrapes and cuts have become a way of life around here!




From diving head first off the couch (or ottoman or bed or stairs) to climbing the chairs and table, DS is as rough and tumble as they come!




I think his t-shirt really says it all, "I do all my own stunts!"

School Day!

When is the bus going to be here? I'm ready to see Miss Kim, Miss Deb and Miss Deb (yes, she has two teachers named Deb).
DD (dear daughter) now carries small pictures of her teachers all the time when she's at home. On days that she doesn't have school she carries a picture of her classroom as well. I guess Mommy and Daddy are chopped liver...





I love school!

So tired...

Mom and Dad- This blogging is exhausting!

A Visit with Grandma Sharon!

Grandma Sharon came to visit a couple weeks ago, and we had a great time shopping, visiting and playing! We managed to get a few good pics of the kids during her visit (not an easy task these days!). Enjoy!

Fun at the Pumpkin Patch!

A few weeks ago our playgroup hosted an evening at the local pumpkin patch. The kids really seemed to enjoy it- and the geek LOVED the corn maze! Here are a few pics from our fun-filled day!



Look how big the three of you have gotten!







A little quiet time with Mommy on the swing!



This was fun- now let's go home!

And so it begins...
