Happy Halloween!

We had a lot of fun Trick-or-Treating tonight! When we started out tonight, I figured the kids would only be up for a few houses, I totally misjudged them! They walked for three blocks tonight with a group of their friends! They just wanted to keep going,going,and going, like little energizer bunnies! It was an awesome Halloween!

Wordless Wednesday-Painting Pumpkins!

Blah....Weekend......

This weekend was the absolute pits.....We were all sickity, sick, sick! Emma and Teddy both had pink eye, and Dan and I both came down with the flu! Yes, we did have our flu shots, but we still got the flu! This past weekend was spent putting eye drops in eyes, blowing noses, and watching movies. Thank God for Blockbuster online! Mr. Flu you had just better go away, so we can trick-or-treat on Friday night......One of my favorite things I look forward to all year!

Highland Orchard

Yesterday Emma's pre-school class went to Highland Orhard. They went on a hay ride, and got to pick some apples! After they had a tour of the orchard they had apple cider doughnuts (yum) and apple cider for snack! We had a great time, it was heartwarming to see how much fun all the kids were having!

Heaven?

Emma my curious 2 1/2 year old asks me today "What happens to you when you go to heaven?". For you to understand where that is coming from, I have to do a little bit of explaining. My uncle passed away today after a long battle with cancer. The right words were just not coming to me. So, then I ask her....well "what do you think happens when you go to heaven?" She proceeds to say...."You feel better there, and get to eat lollipops all day." Very impressive, considering this is really the first death in the family close to her. It was so hard to try and explain this her, because you want to answer their questions, but you don't want to scare them in the process.

This was just one of the moments in parenting when you wish the child came with a manuel. Happily she likes the idea of going somewhere and eating lollipops all day. It is just so funny how curious kids can be.

World Series Here We Come!

Teddy and his Daddy love the Phillies. This year Teddy would sit and watch the games with his Dad, and he would clap and cheer! We had his pictures taken on Wednesday in his Phillies shirt, that he would probably sleep in, and wear all the time if we let him! Needless to say Dan is very excited about the Phillies going to the World Series, and Teddy will really enjoy watching the games with his Dad, and having that "male bonding time".

GO PHILLIES!

Wordless Wednesday-Hey Mom, Look I Can Dress Myself!

Are Tires Really Exciting?????

Dan had new tires put on the van today....and to be honest I really don't understand what is so exciting about that! He was like a kid in a porno store ready to ejaculate! When the van was done he asks if I notice anything different about it, and gets really offended because my response was "No, I don't everything looks the same". The only thing he was missing when he strutted off was long flowing hair to flip out of his face in disgust! A tire is a tire, there is no excitement in that......maybe if he said " I just bought you a new BMW SUV with a DVD player, and a GPS, I would get excited.....But tires are pretty damn boring in my book. Sorry Dan.

Ted Ate The Paint

Friday, we had an apple stamping playgroup at our house. The kids had a lot of fun, especially Teddy! This was Ted's first time painting, and he had an absolute ball! However, we did have one little problem......He also like eating the paint! By the time we were done Ted had a blue mouth! He had a lot of fun, and that is all that mattered!

SHE LIKES IT, SHE REALLY LIKES IT!

Emma had her first day of school without the "binky". She forgot to take it with her today, and Mrs. Ellis said she did a great job! We knew she could do it!

Emma talked a mile a minute when I picked her up today.....She kept saying what a fun day she had at school today. It was "Mommy we played outside" and "Mommy I got to paint today".

The best part was when she said "Mommy I love school"!

What relief we finally LOVE IT! We are very proud of her today! WOO HOO EMMA!
