Believe it or not, I am actually doing an update!!

Once again, I have to take it way back! Because I have so much to catch up on, I will have to do slide shows! Sorry to those who don't like them but there is no way I could do all the pictures individually.

NOTE: The pictures will have to come later because I couldn't get them loaded but I promised there would be something posted so here it is...

All the way back in October the girls each had pumpkin patch field trips (pictures in slide show below). It is so fun to be able to go with them for things like that! The simplest things are so exciting to them. Michelle got her first bus ride and thoguth it was the coolest thing! She didn't understand how Daddy could not like taking the bus for his games, the school bus is SO cool! Whitley's field trip was so cute. She got to help get Tyler's pumpkin and thought that was great. This year I got to do the field trips on different days (Tuesday and Wednesday of the same week) but last year I had to do them the same day (morning and then afternoon). At least time I had a chance to recover after each. Both days Tyler got to go hang out with Grandma Donna and Pooh (Grandma's dog). He loves playing with Pooh. The two are hilarious playmates. The both like the same toys and are fun to watch!

On the same two days that we had the field trips we also had Michelle's school's skate night and Whitley's school's pumpkin carving night (pictures in next slide show). I took Michelle skating and she loved it! She wanted so badly to be able to just go out there on her own but learned quickly that it would take some time to figure things out. She was able to go by herself just a little bit by the end of the night. While we were there Daddy showed up and surprised Michelle. He took her around the rink a couple times before he had to go pick up the other kids. She loved having him to herself for just a little bit. (In November Grandma Bubbles took Michelle and Whitley to skate night for me - Tyler was sleeping, I had to take care of some things so we could kill what mice we did have and keep out others, and Jay had to go to practice so Grandma came and got the girls, she even gave them baths!!)

The night of Whitley's field trip was pumpkin carving with Dad night. Last year Jay was gone when both girls had their carving night so Papas took turns taking the girls. This year the teachers there made sure to schedule the night for Whitley's class when Jay could be there (Gateway is so good to us!). So Whitley took Daddy to class and the kids put on a little show and then helped the Daddy's carve pumpkins. She absolutely loved having Daddy to herself and Daddy loved being able to go this year.
