Emily the beautiful Princess

Aiden the Minnesota Viking

The kids and their costumes for their Halloween party at school today.

Bad to the bone!!!!!

Our blog is so boring!!!!!

<---------- Spicing it up a bit, LOL!

I know, I know...very lame, Dawn! But, it seems like our blog is so dang boring! Kids and frogs, frogs and kids, but I guess, that's our life. I could throw something in about the cat once in a while (Yes, we DO have a cat. Her name is Heidi and we've had her for 11 years) but then after I've used up all that potential excitement, what's left? ;)

I guess when you have kids, boring and routine tends to happen...it's good for them, and that is all that matters. I'm still going to try to spice up our blog though, not sure how, but we'll see...

Awwwww, is there anything more precious then sibling love? Well, I guess it depends if you're the hugger or the huggee.

Emily is giving Aiden tons of love but what you can't see in this picture is him screaming and Emily yelling at him "Let me hug you!". Awwww...precious momements indeed.

Today Aiden is 22 months old. I can't believe he will be two years old in two months. It just doesn't seem possible! He goes to ECFE class on Mondays and loves it. It is a separating class so I am with him for the first hour, then away from him, in another classroom, for the last half hour. He is such a big boy and does so well. Even his teacher commented this week on how well he is doing. Awwww, makes a Mamma proud!!!

Speaking of proud, Emily is doing so well in her class now too. She is in a class where they get her ready for Preschool. She goes 2 days a week, for 2 hours each. One day she is with me for one of those hours, then alone for the second, and the other day she is there without me. (this is the same day that Aiden has his class so it works out well...I am in the classroom right next door, so very close. This helps Mamma feel better!). Emily is 3 1/2 now and has really grown up and matured. She is doing things in class without Mamma and is doing very well. Her teacher sends an email to all the parents after each class, with pictures from the day, and my heart just swells up, along with my teary eyes, when I think how much she has grown from my first baby.

Well, it is definitely Fall here in Minnesota. The temperatures are in the mid to low 60's and the trees are all turning beautiful Fall colors. And hey, the Vikings won their game last night, I'm not sure how???, but they pulled it out, so that is a plus too. :)

I hope you are all doing well, drop us a line when you can, ok.

Love,
Dawn

Day 5 of feeling like total crud! I am so tired of being sick! Whatever is going around got me good this time! Being sick with two rambunctious toddlers is no easy task, let me tell you! It's days like this when it really sucks that I don't have any friends or family close enough to help out with the kids. God knows I could have really used it when I was dead on the couch just taking care of their basic needs while they ran around distroying the place. Oh well, what really sucks is that Aiden woke up with a snotty, runny nose. I hope he isn't getting sick as well, or at least won't have it as bad!

I just don't want to be sick any more, and I definitely don't want the kids to be sick either. Uggggg!
