The Boys

What have we been up to lately? School, preschool, flag football, and just being boys! Here are some recent pics of the gang.
Snipe was very excited about the frog mommy found while mowing.

If you know Moose at all, this picture needs no explanation!

We have friends who have 3 boys and a dirt bike also. We got to ride with them on Sunday afternoon. Tons of fun!!

September

Last week the little boys started preschool at our local parks department. They are in separate classes (so far)! I could not get them to pose for a picture together, so I settled for the two of them walking down the sidewalk together. I'm sure this picture will reappear at their high school graduation.
For Labor Day, I agreed to go camping for one night. That is about my limit! The past two times I went camping it rained. But this time we had great weather. We ended up at Jellystone PArk in Knightstown. Yogi Bear made a special appearance, but the boys did not care for him!

Long Time No Post

My name is Denise. I am addicted to FaceBook and these thingies. I need serious help.

Summer is officially over!

Today was the first day of 2nd grade for Noah. It was only a half day, so he survived. We'll see how tomorrow is with a full day! The week before school started, we had to cram in everything we hadn't had a chance to do. This picture was taken when I pulled into the driveway after a long day with our cousins!

Summer's Almost Over!

I cannot believe school starts in 8 days! It's amazing how fast the summer has gone. We went to Great Wolf Lodge and Newport Aquarium last week. Noah, our future marine biologist, loved the aquarium. Sea creatures are his thing!

Pray for Marj

Please pray for my friend Marj who is expecting twin boys. She was admitted to the hospital Saturday and will remain there until the babies are born. She has a sweet 3 year old Ian who my boys adore and they live in our neighborhood. My twins and Ian will be going to preschool together this fall! Check out her cute blog and give her some encouragement if you feel led.

It all started with a few gallons of paint

So about a month ago, I decided I wanted to paint my bedroom. Home Depot was having a paint sale, so I picked out a great color, Sweet Georgia Brown. I wanted to do a chocolate brown and blue bedroom. My bedroom has mauve faux paint. It's really not pretty. My husband liked the paint color and decided we should paint downstairs first, because no one really ever sees our bedroom. He also decided to install a wood laminate floor (he's handy like that!). Our carpet was very nasty after the weeks of potty training. So we finally got that project done.

This week, my parents took Noah and Megan to Colorado with them. I wanted to do a room makeover as a surprise for Noah. So we have painted, trimmed, and put in a new closet organization system. We are almost done...they get home Saturday. I told my husband we have to take a break from all these projects. He is wore out! He deserves a break!! So my bedroom will have to wait.

During all this construction, I found these books. I am hooked! My mom told me about these book a while ago, and when I found them at the library I was so excited. I can't stop reading.
