Life






has been rolling along. Crazy how busy things get when your kids start school. Yes, even preschool. We have been doing play dates, trying not to catch swin flu or any other type of flu, I've been busy with the 2 businesses, and Kevin has been busy working on his television ideas for kids' shows. One show is going to be pitched to Disney in a week or so. Yes, Disney! So we'll see. He has been working his tail off to make sure we can make ends meet and can move one day. :o)

In addition the Mothers of Multiples board I am now part of the board for a foundation that is raising money to buy additional RV's for families to stay in while their child/children are in the NICU. Even though our drive was a good 30 minutes each way, there were some families we met that lived hours away! I can't imagine what we would have done. Here's a link to the foundation if anyone is interested. They are looking for fabric, people who know how to knit/sew/etc. So if you know how to make any of the NICU items, most have patterns online, it would be a wonderful gift to pass along the info so that we can receive as many of these items as we can to share with the local hospitals and families. http://alybooandizybee.org/

Let's see what else has been going on... TJ is slowly learning Spanish. Hee Hee Hee I heard her yelling "E-u-da-may!" "E-da-may!" At first it just sound like "Eda May" and I kept wondering who "Eda May" was! I looked around the corner and saw her pretending to be stuck and needing help from Noah. She was actually saying, "Ayudame" which is Spanish for "help me". LOL It was pretty funny. She'll also speaks nonsense words whenever we go through a drive-thru and the person is Spanish "looking". Then she'll say, "adios!" It is pretty funny.

They are continuing to grow and learn and could not be more inquisitive. TJ drives me bonkers with her "why" questions and other traits however I know that I used to do the EXACT same thing when I was younger. Ah karma... gotta love it!

The kids are SOOOOOO excited for Chrsitmas. They already informed me that our house was "NOT cool" for Halloween so I definitely have to step it up this year! I cannot have two 3 year olds thinking our house is not cool.

Well, it's official, the holidays are here! My favorite Christmas music radio station is on and the kids and I LOVE it!!

Well, my 'free' time is over for now. We are off to the library! Hugs to you all.

Fall

is upon us and the change in weather is fabulous! Love all of the leaves changing, love all of the changes in my kids, ... life is certainly changing.

The kids are LOVING school and they are both growing and developing in such a way that the director noticed it and mentioned it to me. Noah is completely comfortable with his body now and his movements and is taking a lot of risks. WONDERFUL news for him!! They both love being able to paint their arms/legs/etc. and make body prints or just let it dry and run around painted. They love coloring eggs at school. They love painting pumpkins. They love climbing on the pirate ship. They love working with a friend to get the ship from one side of the yard to the other. They love climbing across rope mountain to get to the zip line. And they LOVE spinning around as fast as they can on the indoor swing.

For those of you with swings, put little bells at the top that will jingle/chime as the kids swing. Make sure to get some that have a light, ethereal sound. It's so relaxing!

I will work on getting pictures uploaded and posted. I am still getting used to a different format on this computer.

I am also working on a Halloween post.
