Today I am Also thankful for... (and not thankful for)

Yesterday Q and I played with sidewalk chalk outside. Then things got crazy and we never picked it up. So this morning as I was putting M in the car, I looked back and Q was picking up all of the chalk and putting in the bucket! All by himself without me even asking!!! He is getting to such a fun age where he learning where things go, and what I would like him to do. Not that he always does it just because I want him (Most of the time, it is just the opposite), but he is learning.

P.S. This is NOT what I am thankful for, but I thought I would just mention that people who hit and run on someone's car should get no ice cream in heaven!!! And if they don't like ice cream, than take away something else that they really like. To make a normal-sized story short, our car was parked in front of my house on the street... and someone ran right into it!!! So now we have to pay for it to get fixed. Bah hum bug. Is it just me, or do things like this always happen around the holidays?

Today I am thankful for....

Last night I really wanted to go to the gym and exercise, but G got home so late that I didn't want to drive all of that way (about 20 min. one way) and I wanted to spend more time with G! So, instead I decided to dust off my old Tae bo tape and just exercise right in my living room. And much to my enjoyment Geren decided to jump in and enjoy the special stylings of Billy Blanks with me! It was so hilarious, I probably got more of a work out out of laughing, I wish that I could have gotten it on tape. Many of my friends are listing something that they are thankful for everyday... Today I am thankful for uncoordinated husbands who go out of their way to spend time with their wives.

Silly glasses and updates

Well, as you've noticed, I have been out of the bloggersphere for a couple of weeks. We had moved all of our stuff into our new home on Halloween and were living with family for the past couple of weeks until the house was ready to move into. But I am back! We are now into our new place and we love it. It is a beautiful home, and we are so thankful for all of the work that was put into it. We are thankful for all of the extra space and feel really blessed. Pictures are to come, I want to wait until we are a little bit more boxless. But they are coming.

All right, well until then. .. here are some pictures of my silly kids. And I posted a lot today to make up for lost time, so please do not get overwhelmed, take a few days if you must. ;) Glad to be back. I decided I am kind of an internet addict.

3 months old!

Maiya is now 3 months. She is so much fun. When she is awake she is very alert. She loves to talk and coo and sing... I love it and never get bored of it, but I am having a problem getting it on camera, because every time I pull the camera out she is mesmerized by it, and stops talking!!! I will keep trying though, because you need to see it. She is such a fun little baby and thankfully sleeps really well.

Trick or Treating

I know it's been awhile since Halloween... but I thought I would post these pictures of our family trick or treating. We had a lot of fun.

This was Quincey's favorite candy... The Hannah Montana bracelet.



Beautiful Maiya with my beautiful friend Courtney


At first this was all Quincey wanted to do...

But he soon got into it

Especially with candy spreads like this!!! Isn't that the most amazing variety for trick or treating?

Enjoying the goodies with his friend Jackson
