Happy Halloween!!

Well Halloween is upon us again. In our little town we did not trick-or-treat on Halloween we went the night before. It does not seem to make much sense but we had fun anyway. This year we had 10 children in our group to set off and conquer the neighborhood. It took us about an hour and a half and we ended up finishing with 7 children. A few were tired and headed home early. We had a ninja turtle, a stormtrooper, a mad scientist, and a frog with pink glasses in our family!! With all the children we had two ninja turtles, two scientist, a stormtrooper, a vampire, a spider man, a cow girl, a monkey and still a froggy with pink glasses. We were quite a sight walking down the street. It was a really nice night and the weather was actually great for us this year. Nana is always nice enough to stay at our house and pass out the candy, this way Todd and I are able to take the kids around. Well another Halloween down and now off to the holiday season.......

Root Beer Floats

This summer the boys discovered rootbeer floats when we were outin New York. Eric and Alex love them along with daddy. Tyler does not care for soda, so he passes. Eric has been bugging me to make them at home ever since August. This past weekend we decided to have a little fun for Football day and I think that we have started a new tradition. Eric now wants floats everytime there is football on. I think that we may have to nogotiate the contract on that one.

Fall Time

Well fall is finally here. We now are getting the cool weather. It was very hot last week for this time of year. The weather is very nice now. We have enjoyed going Apple picking and getting our pumpkins. I can't get the pictures from my phone to the computer yet so we don't have any pictures of the kids in the orchid. The place that we went to this year has the best cider donuts. They are truely the best I have ever tasted. They had a hay maze there and a hay ride. It was a great day. Elizabeth has enjoyed playing in the leaves every day when we are outside and she says "Yeah Fall" Teea likes to jump in the leaves with her as well. The boys are all in school and are doing well. Tyler and Eric are starting an indoor soccer league this weekend and finishing up our outdoor soccer. They will do this until basketball starts in a couple of months. It was a crazy week with Todd gone last week. Not only did we get a puppy, but the kids had a bomb scare at school (yes I am serious) and Tyler's teacher left suddenly on Friday and will no longer be his teacher. To say the least it was a little stressful. We are all adjusting to these things it is just taking some time. We all know how Tyler likes change!!! Well I just wanted to update you all on what has been happening here. I will try to update more frequently.

Yes We Are Crazy!!

Well we finally have a new addition to our family. It has been two and half years since the last new addition we thought it was time. Her name is Teea (Tyler, Eric, Elizabeth, Alex) and she is an 81/2 week bigion frize puppy. We picked her up yesterday and spent the afternoon at Nana's house. She was a gift to the kids from Nana. Mind you that Todd is away for the week at his national convention in Las Vegas and now I am home with the four kids and the puppy for the rest of the week by myself. Thank goodness for Nana and Papa being a mile down the road. I guess since Elizabeth is potty trained and in a big girl bed it was time for a new challenge. We had been looking on line and this dog has real hair and does not shed. I have been holding her alot and I do not have one dog hair on me, it is so nice.

Getting Started

My neighbor has had a blog for a while now and I enjoy being able to go and read it almost every day. I have decided to start my own so that I can update everyone on what is going on in our lives without having to be on the phone. It is also a way that we can post pictures and videos so everyone can watch how the kids are growing and how crazy they are. I am new at this so please be patient while I try to figure out how to do everything on here.
