Pumpkin Carving
We carved pumpkins at Auntie Lisa's Saturday. I'm not sure if we do this for ourselves or the children. Half way through the cleaning out of the carcass Chelsea gave up. Of course, damn it were carving pumpkins rather you like it or not!??! Any ways I finished Chelsea's. I'm getting pretty good at it, from the many years of completing the kids. Tati's turned out great, and she finished it! Then the kids played in Auntie Lisa's leaves. And later I cleaned leaves out of every where possible on the babies. All in all it was a successful holiday celebration! Next the Great trick or treat!

Always 20mins late
So I know you all are thinking how did I find the time to create the blog yesterday? Well in my short window of nap time I started. Usually this is house cleaning, laundry and yes shower time for me. So needless to say by noon the house was a mess, laundry on the couch and beautiful me in my PJ's. But we still have to pick Chelsea up by two. So we need to start getting ready at one. I get Madi dressed, then Christina. By the time Christina is done, Madison has undressed herself and we have to start over. Ok now we have like 15 min. Kids look great! Still dressed. But me, still no shower. Throw on jeans and a hat. It gets better!!! Work calls (I'm off today), I need to go in for a few things. In a lapse of sensibility, I think I will just take them with me??? So pick Chelsea up, drive Chelsea all over the damn town. I still have time to stop at work. Go to work do my thing. OOps I have to run and get Tati from school. Do you know it takes about 10 min to get twins buckled and in the car? Run to get Tati. Notice her on the street almost half way home. Oh and yea pissed way off at me. I'm about 20 min late. So like any other perfect mother, I will make up for my guilt and buy her something. So off to McDonalds we go!! We eat, we play. Still Tati is not talking to me. So moral of story. I'm always about 20mins late. But in a 12 year old mind this is death by silence treatment!!!

Halloween costume tryouts
Madison and the witch
Our Family
I know each day passes so quick. So I created this blog. I want friends and family to enjoy the blessing of life with us!
We are truly blessed with four beautiful girls. I think this was God's answer to Jeff's prayers. Jeff has always asked God to surround him by beautiful girls! I don't think this is what he meant. Ha, Ha!! God is laughing now.
I never thought at this time in my life I would be teaching one to drive and one to poo poo in the potty.
Each lesson is a challenge. But the rewards are GREAT! Watching my oldest climb in the drivers seat scares the hell out of me. But I have raised her to be responsible and I have all the confidence that she will make the correct choices. I look at her in awe every day!! She has become a beautiful young lady. Independent, confident, strong will and minded. Little social butterfly. This is a definite trait of her father, I was a shy one in high school.
Tati is coming out of her shell. Starting Junior High this year. She is on the stage crew. Although she will always be my baby. She's never to big to cuddle and kiss her mommy. I'm so proud of her this year. She has worked so hard on trying to get straight "A" s. Kelli has enrolled her in dance. She loves it!! The girl has rhythm, (from me of course!)
The twins are growing so quick. I can't keep up. Help? Help?
Remember all you that said you would babysit when they were born? Ha,Ha where are you now? Just kidding! When they said it takes a village, they were RIGHT!
Jeff calls them little spider monkey's. They are climbing everything. Into everything.
And they have there own voice. Favorite word is "more". Following Mama, dada, cracker, nitenite, baby,shoe. And now they can say Tati. She has worked on this for months.
Oh and we are trying the potty thing. They both have accomplished peepee in the potty. Madison has even went poo. She loves to flush it and say "bye, bye poopoo!"
