Rachel turns 3!

Ok, it's been a long time since I last wrote. I'm pretty bad at this blogging thing. Rachel just turned 3 yesterday. We had a little bowling party for her with cupcake decorated with Dora the Explorer face. It came out really good. I will get pics up later. Rachel was LOVING it! The bowling alley was busy and overloaded with back to back parties. It was pretty crazy but the kids had fun.

Logan also had his first official sleepover at a friends house last night. Of course, Sean and I were there until about 10 and know he was tired and ready for bed. No phone call to pick him up in the middle of the night. I'll see how it went when I pick him up later.

ACCCKKK!! Just realized that my computer's clock and my alarm clock said different times. Almost forgot about the time change.
Anyways, back to blogging....let's see...Rachel is registered for the 2 day preschool for next year and Logan is also set for Kindergarten too. Just have the Kindy placement testing over the summer. My little babies are growing up too fast!!

Merry Christmas!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS to everyone...does anyone actually read this? I sure don't write often. The kids have taken over my computer most of the time. I don't kick them off because they are playing educational games and LEARNING!! Christmas is almost here, and we have yet to send the gifts to family. Ooops, so they get to open more presents after.
We took our own holiday photos and took several of them and made them into Christmas cards. I think the pics turned out great! I don't think the 2 would have cooperated in a studio in front of a stranger.
The pic with Rach sticking out her tongue is my favorite! It totally captures Rachel's personality and Logan looks so cute.

I hope everyone has a Happy Holiday and who knows when I'll write next. I'm such a bad blogger.

Lounging around

Rachel likes to unlock the door and sit out on the patio....all by herself. She's so quiet and stealthy about it that several times, I didn't even know she had gone outside. Luckily, she doesn't go past the rocks.

Not wanting to sleep

The other night, both kiddos didn't want to sleep, so we let them hang out on our bed watching a little video to calm them down. They ended up being silly and things turned into a photo shoot. Sorry the photos are all jumbled. I still haven't figured everything out on here. Can you see Rachel's hair is starting to grow longer??!! She still wants me to put her hair up ("pretty hair" is what she calls it), then ends up pulling them out before she gets to the end of the hallway.

Un-forgetting the blog

Ok, so I kinda forgot about blogging. I was getting bogged down trying to keep up with 'work', taking care of my kids, housework, and most importantly....playing and having fun with my kids. Since the weather has turned warmer, I have been trying to take them outside as much as possible, which means, I can't sit in front of the computer or knit or do any work. Hopefully, I will be able to start blogging and doing more work to help pay for our drive/trip to visit our parents next month. Gas is NOT cheap anymore! At the rate it's going, by christmas time, It might be cheaper for the 4 of us to fly to our parents and rent a car than to drive out.

We took them to see Thomas the Train not long ago. I think they liked it. There were lots of activities and things for the kids to do. We also rode on a train that Thomas was pulling.
