Happy Halloween!

I have to teach a parenting course tonight so I will not be able to take the kids out Trick or Treating (sometimes  I really don't like being "responsible").  I was bummed so we dressed the kids up last night and took them around to some family.  
No great pictures, 99% of the time Bella still runs from the camera and Jack says "CHEESE" and makes a face like I am making him smell stinky feet... 
You get the idea though...
Bella is a princess (although she would not wear her tiara or carry her wand)

Jack is a dragon 
Of course he is smiling but it is blurry

so we gave them some sugar and Bella smiled a lot but would not look at the camera

and Jack would not smile

I don't think I was ever compliant with pictures growing up either so I guess the old adage is true, what goes around, comes around!

My kids are awesome...

and very very cute.  We went to the park the other day to take some pictures of the kids and we got some good ones.  I am excited to see the ones Jason's sister took.


I am not going to write much more now... I have been insanely busy lately (in a good way).

Elephun!

Both of the kids have been receiving Speech Therapy services for over year now.  Before they turned 3 they were in "Early Intervention" services and their therapist, Miss Carin, came to the house.  Now that they turned 3 they now go to a school and services are done there.  
We all miss Miss Carin.  When Molson would bark because someone pulled in (or the wind blew) the kids ran to the window and would try to look for Miss Carin because they were sure she was going to pull up.  
On Miss Carin's last day she brought the kids a present, a game called Elephun.  Air is shot up through his trunk and "butterflies" fly out and we use the nets to catch them.  The kids have a great time and do a great job of trying to name the colors of the butterflies they caught.
Here they are playing (the little girl I watch, Isabella was here that day too) 


Jack then decided that he needed a bit of assistance and went on the step stool
 


They don't often catch them so it is often a mad scramble at the end for them to pick them up and put them in their nets and show me all that they "caught".  Maybe they don't follow all of the rules.... that is okay, we all have fun!
