ChuckECheese!

If you hear one of my children yelling, "say CHUCKECHEESE" be sure to look for them. They are playing with a camera and they are trying to take photos of each other.

Doctors Office

Alex and Gabriel are hilarious at the dr. office. They genuinely enjoy visiting Dr. Beck. Lane had to go in because her clogged eye duct became infected. Poor little girl gets goopy green eyes whenever she wakes up. Dr. Beck made sure to check the boys ears and eyes when they didn't want to be left out of the fun.
I went to the dentist. It had been far too long. I have to use a medicated rinse because I have periodontal disease starting. The enamel on my teeth has been worn away as well. Both probably due to my rough pregnancy and hyperemesis. Who would have known? Yes, Lane, you were worth it.

Halloween 2009

We had a very busy Halloween. The day started with a Halloween party with the playgroup. We had a great time. Gabriel was a spider, Alexander was a bumble bee, Laney was a lady bug. Mom and Dad were the bug catchers, of course! The hats I made for our costumes were difficult to wear and became toys for the kids.
We went to Oktoberfest in Remsen. It was neat to expose the kids to German music. The food was a big disappointment.
The biggest decision of the day was whether to take our tired children trick-or-treating or to stay home. We decided to go to a couple houses in the neighborhood. I am glad we walked around the neighborhood because two of our neighbors had gifts for our children. They are so generous. It was heartwarming. The boys got the hang of trick-or-treating after a couple houses and did not want the fun to end, even when they were shivering from the cold.
