Family Pictures

We got family pictures taken a few weeks ago, and thanks to my new scanner I got for my birthday I can now share them with you. :)

Little Bit of Magic

Wednesday I took the kids to the Magic House. I had been wanting to take them there for some time now, but was a little nervous going at it alone. It is a big place with many ups, downs, and places to hide. We pretty much stuck to the toddler area, but even there it was hard to keep my 2 eyes on 3 kids. Rebecca was a little daredevil. She loved going through the plastic and mesh tubes and even went over the balance beam way up in the air. Natalie wasn't as adventurous and was content to carry around a couple pieces of chalk and watch. John was all over the place. He was pretty good about going to play on something and come right back to me to check in before moving on to something else.John heading up to the slide.

Natalie and her chalk

Rebecca loved this little door. When you open it up there is a little mouse family inside. She must have opened and closed that door 20 times, laughing hysterically every time she saw the mice.

The one area all the kids loved was the water room.

John worked the gas pump so Natalie could continue on her way

New Pics

I got a new camera and I am in L-O-V-E! I by no means have figured out all the settings, but I have been playing around and got a few cute ones of the kids. Hopefully I can find the time to read up on it and actually know what I'm doing when I take it off "auto".

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween everyone. We just got back from Trick or Treating, the kids are in bed, and I am exhausted! I have been itching to put the pictures up of the kids costumes, but wanted to wait until it was officially Halloween.Our first Halloween activity was playgroup on Monday. John (the policeman) and Natalie & Rebecca (the jailbirds) had a great time playing with all of their friends.



Thursday was John's preschool Halloween parade. He is in the back row, sans mustache.



Finally, tonight we took the girls out in the "paddy" wagon and got some real trick or treating done! We have WAY too much candy at our house now!

1964

So, I was bored and playing around on the computer waiting for Mike to get home and found a website where you upload a picture of yourself and it shows you what your yearbook photo would look like from different years. Thank goodness I graduated in 1998 and not 1964!

Fall pics of Rebecca & Natalie

While John was taking an extened nap, I grabbed the girls and went outside to take some pictures in the yard. I didn't label the pictures, so Natalie is in blue and Rebecca is in red. Oh, and John is finally potty trained overnight. Woo hoo! One less kid to buy diapers for.

Dancing Queen

Here is a short video I took of Natalie "dancing". Oh, and John is not showing off for the camera. The circles he's wearing in the carpet is his newest dance move.
