Buddies

I love that Charley and Matthias have a special bond. He sticks up for her and loves on her. They really are buddies, and I love it.

Wii

For the first time in a really long time Jon and I hooked our Wii up so the boys could play. Up until now we never really had the spare time since both of us were working second jobs. We don't have many games geared towards small children, but we do have bowling/tennis/baseball. Anyways...the boys really loved it. Matthias was actually really good at bowling. He got a couple of spares and even got a strike. I was pretty impressed since he is not the one to usually catch on to things quickly. He did though with this. Hopefully we can rent some games or find some other cheap ones the boys would like to play.

Fall Fest

This afternoon we went to the middle school in our school district for fall fest. They had carnival-like games set up for the kids to play. The kids had a lot of fun. They enjoyed winning little prizes and playing games. They even got to go on a little hayride.m It was a lot of fun for all of us.

Fun

It's kind of funny how my idea of fun and the kids idea of fun are two completely different things. This evening I headed to my bedroom to lay on the bed and call Jonathan at work. Before I know it all three kids are sitting on my back bouncing. They thought it was hilarious. I, however, did not.

Cold Day

Today has been a cold, rainy, gloomy day. We stayed in the house and out of the cold...except the boys getting on and off the bus. Charley was in her p.j.'s all day...sometimes you just need one of those days.

Sunshine

The neighbor across the street from us has the most beautiful tree. It's leaves turn a bright sunny yellow in the fall. I have been envious of this tree since we moved in. It's leaves are such a bright spot and I just love the pretty color. Today the kids were playing in the leaves so I went to grab my camera. I'm really glad I did because I got a couple really cute ones.

Happy Birthday Thi!

Today is Thi's birthday...which means we officially have two 4 year olds in the house! It's hard to believe Thi is 4! This morning started off with presents from Aunt Barbara and Cousins Greg and Kate. Thi was so excited about each present. At the end of opening them he said, "I love all these presents!" I love that he is such a sweet little boy and gets excited about things. I'm not sure what the rest of his birthday holds, but I'm sure it will include something fun...maybe McDonald's playplace or a trip to get a cookie of his choosing. He has school today so I'm going to send some speacial treats for him to share with his friends. Even if we did nothing else I think he has already had a fun birthday in his book.
