On the night before Halloween...

...and all through the house....twins shouting for candy now now now!

We can't wait for Halloween!

A great week has been had by all.  Elsa and Jonas had a great week of learning at school.  They are about halfway learning about the alphabet and show off their letter recognition all the time! 

There has been much discussion about halloween costumes...this year...Jonas will be Bob the builder and Elsa will be a well dressed rabbit!  Too cute.


God Bless,

Pumpkin Patch 2012

Greetings!

The pumpkins are growing!  Elsa and Jonas had their 4 year old check-in...and wait for it....Elsa weighs more than Jonas!  They clocked in at 34 and 35 pounds...both safely on the charts and doing great!  They both got a shot and there were few tears and proud displays of their band-aids later in the day.

Jonas saw his dentist this week as well!  His teeth looked great and she was impressed with his flossing and brushing.

We went to the pumpkin patch this weekend and had a great time.  Elsa got to buy caramel corn and Jonas got an ear of corn to eat that was bigger than his arm.  Quite a great outing!

We also made it to our first PLU football game this year and were treated to a master class of football.  The lutes downed an undefeated opponent.  It was great!

Great times!  God Bless,
Mari & Dan & Elsa & Jonas

Sand in the shoes=good day

Greetings!  We are running a bit behind these days...four colds and a cough means a little lag on the blog.  But we are getting slowly better:)

Jonas and Elsa love their new school. It has a sandbox and they play any day that they can!  Evidence of this is found in their shoes after school...a pile of sand started appearing by our front door.  The kids were being really responsible and dumping out their shoes so that they wouldn't get their socks dirty the next day.  The one drawback was that they were dumping out their shoes inside.  We have worked on dumping the sand outside and things have gone much smoother!

We had our first week of pretty "fall-y" weather and the new winter jackets have made their first appearance.  A mom at the school commented, "I bet we see a lot of those coats"...then we noticed that her two kids had the same coats...Costco had a really good deal!

God Bless,

Warm Fall Days...we can still outdoor play!

Greetings! 
Jonas and Elsa spent the week learning all about letters at school.  It is great to hear and see their adventures in school (we get a weekly newsletter with lots of great pictures!).  They amaze us with their new learning everyday!

This week the flu returned and we are slowly getting better.  Our stock of tissues is running low!  Elsa and Jonas are still high energy and that is always great to see.

This week we visited Grandma Jeanne and practiced rolling down the hill.  See the video for more information:)
