Just for fun

Don’t really have much to say or anything to update, but here are some pictures of the kids from the weekend. All I can say is ADORABLE!!! My dad would say they get their good looks from him. According to Gramps, everyone looks just like him! :) Sorry for the picture OVERLOAD, but really, I didn’t even add half of what I have!

Gingerbread

Okay, I am a sucker for gingerbread! I could eat it all day long! Whats better than a gingerbread man? A house of course! So Michael and I found a kit to make everything and thought it would be something fun for him and the kids to do during the week. Little did he know all the time and detail that gets put into it. So, here is the product of Michael and the kids 2 hour project!

After dinner last night, Michael and I thought we should have a little taste test. It turned out we ate almost a whole slat of the roof, with the help of the kids of course! Gotta say, I'm a fan! But judging by Michael's piece, he might take the cake for that title!

Kids. My kids. They crack me up! I love how they play together! And believe it or not, they were actually sharing this little wagon/bucket on wheels. They are both getting to the age where they either love each other or hate each other. Luckily for me, they love to hug. When I look at these pictures, I cant help but burst out laughing. In the first picture, Darren looks like he is ready to dump Jaycee right out of the wagon. But my favorite has to be the second picture. I love both of their facial expressions! They both keep me going. They both make me laugh. I couldn't imagine having one and not the other. They definitely belong as brother and sister. All in all, I just love the heck out of these two! I couldn't ask for better kids.

Halloween 2008

The kids had a great Halloween this year! For the first time it seemed like they both really had a grip on what the whole candy/trick or treating thing was all about. Darren got tons of candy and definitely was not shy about going up and asking for candy. It took Jaycee a couple times of me walking with her and holding her hand before she got the hang of it. They both scored in the candy department.

After trick or treating, we went to the kids Uncle Michael's house. They got to play games for prizes and have lots of good food. Of course, of all the kids left standing at 1:30 the morning after, it was mine. The last picture is how Jaycee woke up the next morning. A little candy covered sucker face.

Darren put it just like it is: "Now that Halloween is over, time to get ready for Thanksgiving!"
