Tuesday night crafts



Kaitlyn loves crafts so we decided we needed a little break from out everyday nightly routine. We had dinner and then made some Christmas ortaments. Caleb gets so mad when he cant do things just his way- he sat on the carpet and before we caught him he drew on the carpet with a green marker. Little boys are so different than little girls.

New sensory tanks stuff




Last year I put rice in the tank- it was a mess so I thought we would try cotton balls and feathers- so far it is worse because it floats all over the house- but the kids love it so what do you do?

Mcdonalds half marathon





So I have been training for months for this race. I did it!!! It was a hot and humid November day it was 77 and very humid. I had a cold and had not been feeling well but I was going to run regardless. My goal was to finish in under 2 hours and 10 min. I would have liked 2 hours and 5 min but I got 2 hours and 8 minutes so I am ok with that. I got a huge blister under my left toe nail. Ryan had to heat up a paper clip to drain it out the blood under the nail. Looks like I will be loosing it. It hurt extremly bad and now that it has been drained it doesnt hurt as bad! I wish my family and seattle friends could have seen it the race! Thanks to the Ryan the kids and the Lewis family for coming to cheer me on I needed it!

We made homemade pasta again tonight. kaitlyns job was the photographer so most of the photos were taken by her. We used our new ravioli. We saute portabella mushrooms and stuffed them with mushrooms and ricotta cheese and assiago cheese. They were wonderful and we had a great family night dinner. Caleb loves to salute- check out the photo of him and ryan.

Disney on ice

I surprised kaitlyn with tickets to the disney fantasy on ice show in richmond. Let me tell you it was well worth the $12 tickets. We had great seats and simply a great time. Kaitlyn was entertained for the entire two hour show. I took a short video- look at her eyes light up. I would go again in heart beat. It truely was a memorable time.

Using those teeth

Caleb has decided finally to start eating his veggies- A littl video clip for the memories. He is eating chicken and brocolli. I hope his eating habits get better now that his has more than 4 teeth and I know because I have teeth marks on my leg to prove it.

Cleaning the playroom


The kids are into using the simple green and paper towels and cleaning everything. It is fun because it keeps them busy for over 10 minutes and they are actually helping! This morning the were cleaning the floor then caleb got up and feel on his head from the wet floor so Ryan and I made a rule of no cleaning the floor. Check out kaitlyns sweater- She got up and dressed on her own before she came and got us out of bed. She is getting to be a big girl. She tried to do this upside down twist thing to get it on ahe learned at school and it didn't quit work for her but she tried.

Friday night excitement


My little boy has decided that biting people is a new found love for him. Ryan was feeding him grapes the other day on the couch and he bit Ryans finger which we didnt think much of the next day caleb was holding onto my leg and playing the next thing I know he bit my leg. The photos are the greatest but you get the picture. He also bit Ryans chest the other night playing. The next time it happens we will be biting him back and see how it likes it. Little boys are so much fun!
