Just some fun pictures

 Our silly Sarah.  She loves these old frames.  
 I tried to make her look like a mad scientist.  
 Daniel got stinging nettle.  He was using ice water in a baggy after washing his leg.  
 He just wanted a silly picture here with his ice water.
Notice the mark on her check, her chin and pen on her forehead.  She had a busy afternoon.

This week in our house.

 One Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Abby played with play dough. 
She sculpted a family heads.
Then Sarah's toddler bean activity turned into a kids hay day on the kitchen floor.  


Sarah managed to get herself stuck in the elliptical machine this morning.  She was very calmed about it.  When I stood up to get the camera she softly said, "ep".  Too cute.

Our Handsome Little Guy


As you can see, our little man got glasses.  He started to get what is commonly known as "lazy eye" right before school started.  It would start to get better, but stress would bring it back again.  But lately, his eye is not getting any better, so he finally made it to the doctor.  After some struggles to get the eye drops in, his dilated eyes were tested.  It was a long  two and a half hours at the eye doctor (with all three kids).  He survived the whole experience with many promises of a frosty from Wendy's.  
About a week later, he got is glasses, which have a plastic frame to handle whatever he can dish out.  He has tested them out during a few tantrums already, and they are doing great.  He has to wear the glasses all day long, and an eye patch 4 hours a day.  Today was his first day with the patch, and after a sugary bribe and some tears, he let me put it on.  He is being a big boy and doing really well considering everything he is going through.  We love our little man.  He makes us smile, along with our darling girls too.

Food Storage

I was on my new favorite site and found out about a food storage yahoo group, and I am trying it out.  This morning I found this 52 weeks to Family Preparedness for Two, and I thought I would share.  Frank and I have been using up more of our storage than I would like, so I need to get back on the ball.  This is just another thing to help motivate me for the new year.

Singing in the rain

Daniel is trying to sing the song "Hey, Soul Sister" and Sarah is joining in with her little song and dance.

This is Sarah's first real day of walking instead of crawling.  I had to get her playing in the puddles and walking.  Notice they are not cold playing in the rain.  Such a different experience from rain in Utah, but they are enjoying it as anyone can tell.  Monday October 10th, 2011.
