thats not my name

aaron has finally changed the music on our blog! YEA!! I don't know how to do it so he is always the one in charge of the music...just in case you were wondering about the previous music choices. Well now it plays the girls most favorite song (right now) we love to play this song for them because they sing and dance to it and its the best to watch. Emma only knows the "thats not my name" part and so that is always sung the loudest and I LOVE IT!! I have yet to get it on video, but we will see. Sorry no pictures with this post....and that is because we have ALL been so sick and no one wants to see that (trust me..we are scary)! Since Sunday we have all been pretty much on our death beds and Aaron has been the only one to venture out of our prison to go to work or make the nightly run to CVS or Walmart for sickness essentials. Hopefully one day (very soon) we will see the light at the end of the tunnel. As of right now it just never seems to be getting better. So don't come near us for the time being because I would hate anyone to get whatever this is that we have. I would never wish this on anyone. On a more positive note... we have spent a LOT of time with our little family which is always nice, the girls even though have been just as sick have helped me a lot to take care of Jonas (who has now become the sickest of us all). And we are hoping to be better by Monday so that Abby can go on her field trip, play soccer, emma can go back to dance "twass", and I can hopefully (fingers crossed) get their halloween costumes sewn in time. Until then there are still runny noses to wipe, fevers to come down, lots of disinfecting of germs to be had all while we as a family will be jamming out to this song.... so sit back turn up your volume and enjoy it with us.... its probably the closest we will get to be with our friends for awhile:)

soccer

Abby is playing soccer again and she is LOVING it! I even asked her before the season started if she would rather do dance with Emma and she said she wanted to play soccer. She is still the smallest, but she is not scared to get right in there and get the ball. She already has scored a few goals (some for the other team, but she seems to do whatever is easiest and if she gets the ball and its easier to take it to the other teams goal then so be it). Yesterday she had another game and when I told her she got really excited and said "me and daddy play soccer. Daddy is super awesome with soccer and now im super awesome like daddy!"



Whenever Abby does something good she will show us on the sideline a thumbs up! She loves to play goalie and that is why she is doing it this time. Once though another kid on her team was playing goalie and let the other team score and Abby did a BIG thumbs down for all to see.... we had to teach her about how thats not very nice:)

that would be abby's foot and yes she just scored a goal!!

jonas

I just LOVE this little boy. He can always make me smile even when I am having a pretty crappy day. Don't get me wrong I love my girls just the same, but there is something in that one dimpled smile that just melts my heart. He is goofy and sweet and loves to cuddle and loves to be all BOY!! He makes me crazy now that he climbs on everything and gets into every cupboard or drawer that he can reach. He has even learned to say "shut it" and yet when I WANT to be mad at all the madness he is causing I just CANT.... he is really that cute!!

This is a video of him I took awhile ago (the same day emma had her super awesome "lion" hair day...this was towards the end of the day and its much more calmed down). He found some goggles and insisted on wearing them the majority of the day. I laughed ALL day that day!! ENJOY!!!

havent seen one of these since i was a kid

Abby was scared of it at first, but then grew to love it. Emma has a frog in that cup. Aaron thought it would be okay to tell her to bring it in the house to show me. Not a good idea. Aaron got in a lot of trouble for that brilliant idea!!

so sew busy

this is what my kitchen has become these last few weeks



I have been sewing and creating like crazy because I am going to be trying to sell a few of my creations at the Oliver Hardy festival the first weekend in Oct. I think I have officially gone crazy!! Here is a little sneak peak of what I have been up to.







I have a few more ideas up my sleeve, but its all about finding the time and October keeps getting closer and closer. Let me know what you think. Hope to see you all at the festival!!!

"lion" hair!!

last night abby really wanted to have me put curlers in her hair and so I did. when I asked emma if she wanted them too she said "no, i want tinkerbell all over". Tinkerbell hair means a bun, but ALL OVER I took as this (this is this morning after its been slept in, but there were about 10-11 "tinkerbells")


before I took them out I told her her hair was going to be soooo curly and as I was taking them out she kept saying "is it like sleeping beauty hair?" I guess she was thinking it was going to be long beautiful curls, but her hair just kept getting bigger and BIGGER! When I was done she felt that it was super big and said "NOT LION HAIR!!" This should be an awesome "do" for the day...don't ya think?

i am luckiest mom ever...

... because I have the cutest, silliest, best, most adorable kids ever!! I know im not always this positive about them, but I absolutely LOVE these three crazies!

Abby is now in Kindergarten and she is loving being more independent and making her own choices and I am learning that its okay if she goes to school and doesn't quite match or she wants to wear Christmas socks with her shorts... we try to compromise, but she usually gets her way:) She is also learning that her teacher wants her letters written a certain way and that she cant always put her swirls on the end of her A's and Y's and dot her I's with her huge circles....we are still working on it!! She just loves to have things done just so and as much as it makes me crazy when trying the help with her homework at times...I love it about her!


Emma just began dance class and she LOVES it!! She loves it when I put her hair in a bun (she calls it her tinkerbell hair). She is still making us laugh all day long and is really enjoying having her daddy home and wont let him out of her sight.


Jonas is all BOY!! He is getting so big and it makes me a little sad knowing that he isnt going to be my baby for much longer. He loves anything noisy or dirty! He loves to tease the girls and its funny that even at this age he knows just how to bug them so much. He watches everything they do and is always trying to follow. Just the other day they were jumping from couch to couch and of course Jonas thinks he can do it too...so far no injuries (knock on wood).


Also, a little side note: Aaron started back to work at a DAY SHIFT!!! We have been doing the midnight shift since we have been here (3 1/2 years now) and its so crazy to have him home before 4pm and to sleep with me at night. We finally feel like normal people!! However it is going to take some getting used to to have someone else in the bed at night. I think we will be upgrading to a king very very soon;) But other than that we really cant complain. EVERYTHING is GREAT and life is GOOD!!!
