Happy Halloween

Today is FINALLY Halloween. The kids have been asking when it is coming for the last four weeks. They are so excited today. Yesterday at school they wore there costumes for the Halloween parade which all the parents come to watch. They all looked so cute. This year Riley is Indiana Jones, Baylee is Supergirl and Asher is a penguin (unless it stays this hot then he will wear his ninja costume). We have two parties to go to today and then Jeff will take them out trick or treating. I will post pics soon.
* Last night we carved pumpkins. The scary monster is Riley's and the "bonehead" is Baylee's which she carved 100% by herself. She was so proud. They used these cute little patterns that make the best jack o lanterns and they are really easy to do.

Baby Shower

My wonderful friend Sonia along with the help of many great freinds from our school gave Lorelei a baby shower. We a great time talking, playing games, laughing our heads off, and eating lots and lots of scrumptious food. My friend Stef made this beautiful and very tasty cake. I now have so many cute outfits for Lorelei to wear. I can't wait to see her in them.

Fire Truck

Last week the fire dept. came to our mommy and me class. Asher loves fire trucks but was a little scared to actually see one up close. They let the kids all spray water out of the hose but he chose to watch instead.

It's Twins

Here is a picture of our double banana we got at Trader Joe's. From the outside it looked really strange, but when we peeled it open it was quite a surprise to find two bananas inside. Has anyone ever seen anything like this?

What we have been up to

Wow, I really haven't been taking any pictures lately. Or maybe I have some on one of my many SD cards. I feel like it is so hard to keep track of everything these days. Days that I feel so overwhelmed I think to myself, what am I going to do when an infant get added to this crazy mix. Sometimes it is a scary thought. I guess it just all works out in the end. We are all really excited to meet our little girl but a couple more months of preparation is going to be good. So what have we been up to lately? Asher has made the transition to the big boy bed. He now sleeps on the bottom bunk. He loves his new bed and the transition was a breeze. He actually asks some days to take a nap. At night he sometimes says " I so tired now". Baylee has been really busy with school, sewing and a photo image class at the art center. She is making her third quilt, this one is for her little sister. Riley has also been busy with school, ceramics at the art center and he just joined Cub Scouts with Jeff. He was really hesitant about joining but after his first meeting he was really excited. As for myself I had the flu last week and finally feel like I am getting better. It is so hard to be a mother of three and be pregnant and have the flu. It just kills all your energy. Jeff helped me out a bunch during my roughest days. Thank God for good husband and fathers. Besides being sick, I have been really busy with fund raising for the school, designing some glass tile pendants for my shop and a little sewing. Hope all is well with you!!!!
