So I know that it has been a very loooooong time since I have posted anything. There is a very good reason for that. I spend an enormous amount of time in my car!!! On Wednesday, I have to leave my house 11 times to either take the kids somewhere or pick them us. Ridiculous!! I am thinking that I need to sell one of the children and get a prius so I can make it through the week on one tank of gas. Keep in mind, that all of the places I have to take them are probably only about 1 or 2 miles from the house. Anyway, enough whining. I guess I will just have to get a laptop so I can blog on the road.
Besides being very busy, everything here is going great. Megan (see very poor excuse for a picture) is playing volleyball and is really liking it. She even told me the other day that she thinks she likes volleyball more that basketball. We will have to wait and see if she says that next month during basketball season. Melissa just started soccer and has her first game next weekend. It should be an interesting season since there were not enough kids in 5 and 6th grade so she is the only 5th grade girl on her team of 3rd and 4th graders. There are 2 5th grade boys on the team, but I think she can take them!!
Miranda has started gymnastics and is loving it. I can't believe all of the things that she can do now. She just needs to work on not laughing and having so much fun at practice so she can listen a little better!! It is so fun to watch her having so much confidence and trying new things. I think I might have opened a can of worms that she is not going to let me close!! I see a lot of gymnastics in our future. This picture of frogs is from Miranda. At school they are learning a lot about habitats and she caught these and took them to school. I have a strict no frogs in the house rule here. She did let them back into the wild after taking them to school.
Max is also enjoying school. He whines on days that there is no school. I am not sure how he is actually doing since we haven't had conferences yet, but no news is good news, right? He did promise me that he would not talk at school the other day because he is not supposed to talk when the teacher is talking. At least that is what he told me. I am wondering if he is being his normal chatty self at school. I am sure he will quickly learn, his teacher is not one to put up with much, even if they are just kindergartners. Well, that is about all from here. Brian is doing well. If you need me, try my cell, chances are I am in my car!!
mes our annual trip to the pumpkin patch. This year we were pretty quick 
with our selections
and had some time to play. Of course, Brian and Megan were more interested in throwing fallen apples at each other, but I have come to expect that from them. After pumpkins, the kids played in the hay maze and we ended our outing with ice cream. I guess the kids have come to expect ice cream after pumpkins since as soon as we said we were going to get our pumpkins Max yelled, "Yeah, ice cream!!" We haven't carved the pumpkins yet, but will get some pictures of that on here soon. Enjoy the pics!
