PJ's pics

Since Phoenix is the only one that does not get school pictures, we decided to get his pics done at Sears. The child suddenly became extremely shy and what should have been an in/out adventure turned into 2.5 hours... We went ahead and got the disk with the copyright release so here are a few shots.

Griffyn's a PURPLE belt!!!

Accepting his new belt.

With his new purple belt and certificate. The stars on his collar are for doing things such as getting good grades, reading so many books, etc. He would have more if he would keep track of his things better.

This is the board he broke with his hands. He was pretty excited about this. Well scared up until he did it and then he was on an adrenaline high! I need to lighten the picture of him actually breaking the board before I post it. T forgot to install Microsoft office on this computer and I can't seem to find the discs to do it myself. I'll get it up next week. I hope...

Okay, so not exactly the breaking of the board, but shows how he did break it.

Halloween

Werewolves and cheerleaders and tinkerbell and a monkey, oh my! PJ wasn't real interested in wearing his costume and going door to door this year. Lily was really excited to get to be tink. Griffyn hated his makeup and fangs, go figure but he wore them for the pictures at least. We spent the evening at Tracy & Heidi's party and the kids really enjoyed themselves. Some of the pictures were taken by the kids. Lily is actually getting decent. Although, I still delete about half of them.

Twins' preschool program

Pumpkin Patch

The kids finally made it to the pumpkin patch... the day I started my new job! It was put off the three days prior to that when I was already off. Go figure!

Grandpa Harry's birthday

Take it like a...

We are obviously in the stage of learning new phrases and adapting those phrases to meet the needs of the situation! I'm not quite sure the whole conversation leading up to this particular phrase as I was playing ball with Phoenix at the time this happened. I only caught the phrase itself and couldn't stop laughing. Rick and I are still laughing today, it was so funny.

The kids were doing some heavy duty wrestling last night and then Liz and Chad came over to pick up some things. They came in to visit a minute and Lily was crawling up Liz, when I overhear an ouch and then Lily tell Liz to "Take it like a girl". Daddy often tells the kids to "man up" or "take it like a man" when they get hurt so Lily has adapted this to fit herself and other girls as well. Since I don't have the full background this one is not nearly as funny in print as Alex's oh, snap.
