Sort of Crawling

This is really for the grandmas and anyone else who cares. Cole was REALLY proud of Emma in the first one...that is him laughing in the background. And yes, that is drool throughout the videos, and yes, she is reminiscent of the dog (Hooch) in "Turner and Hooch".

The Halloween Costumes

I never got good pictures of the kid's halloween costumes because of the "sad Halloween" described in the previous post, so here are some pictures of how cute/tough they would have been. I finally got around to it :)

Sad Halloween

There are no pictures for this Halloween blog post. Why, you ask? Because all of us besides Emma had the stomach flu. Parker couldn't go to school in his costume on halloween and there was no trick-or-treating because we were all puking everywhere. There is nothing worse than being a mom with the stomach flu and having kids with the stomach flu and having to clean up after them. I just wanted to quit. We will take pictures later of the boys in their costumes, but for now, we are all just laying around all day and doing loads and loads of nasty puke laundry. So, happy freaking halloween everyone :)

Circle S Farms

Good fall fun... corn maze, hay barn slides, donuts, hay ride, pumpkin patch, chickens... what more could kids want? We had a good time and it was a beautiful fall day to be outside.

Penn State Game

Brett and I got to go to the Ohio State/Penn State game last weekend. I had never been to a night game before and this was a big one to be at. Night games are nice because our kids are asleep for most of it so the babysitter is not having to put up with them all day. We had a lot of fun and screamed our heads off almost the entire game. The atmosphere was awesome and the amount of red was just crazy. I love football season!!!

Buying Crap

Today I was running some errands and I told Cole that we were going to the craft store and that he could pick out something to make if he wanted . He got all excited when we pulled into the parking lot and said "Mom, is this the crap store?" I smiled, tried not to let him see me laugh at the irony, and said "Yep, this is the crap store".

Buckeyes vs. Boilermakers

Brett took Parker to his first Buckeyes game on Saturday and Parker had a blast. Brett usually wears his jersey to the games, but had an OSU shirt on before the game and Parker came down dressed exactly like Brett. Same shirt, cargo shorts, hat, buckeye beads, etc. It was so cute that of course Brett couldn't change so they went to the game as twinners. Parker cheered his heart out (especially on 3rd down), sang every word to the fight song and Hells Bells by AC/DC, and had a hot dog. They had a great time.
