Help! Another Snow Day!!

I am soo over this winter season. I'm done. I quit. I really do. I mean I love my monsters, but they want to go to school. You know it's been a long winter when they are even annoyed with a snow day. So pray for me today. Preston is still sick and on breathing treatments and I still have to finish my talk for Saturday's Stake Enrichment... I feel like tapping my ruby slippers together to get to March. March will be a good month. I can feel it already.

On a brighter note, Tommy's English is progressing. He is starting to sound more human like everyday. He now tries to speak in sentences and has more of an opinion on things. Adam said he now has a personality besides "Dog". That's what we referred to him as before. Mostly because he preferred barking over English and he liked to crawl around and jump on his siblings, so I'm sure you can see the similarities to a dog.

Well if I have time to blog I should probably be working on my talk instead. I'm sure you guys have already caught on that I don't want to work on it, and I am just trying to delay the inevitable. Okay well if you are in the Kansas City area on Saturday DON'T COME to the Stake Enrichment.

Aren't they cute! You don't have to answer that question, I already know they are.

So he can speak! We don't always understand the sentences, but we are excited that he is trying. He is definitely my slowest talker yet.

Here is Preston at 4 months. He has broncilknljoitis right now so I have him on breathing treatments. Oh the joy! It's like having Kelly all over again.

Fall's here!

So as the days have been passing it has become very apparent that we are running out of time to play in the leaves. It seems to be getting colder all the time and nobody likes to play in the leaves once they are nice and soggy. Sooo... I finally got them all out there to play. Of course part of my reasoning was to get some good pics for their scrapbooks. (I told Paige that everybody wears overalls when they play in the leaves. It's kind of like a rule.)

Paige and Tommy were having the most fun in the leaves. Kelly... not so much. She liked it at the beginning, but then she wanted to play tag, and noone wanted to play with her.

Little Preston in a wagon. He is now one month old.

Tommy decided to take Preston for a walk.

So I know it's not the best picture, but it was a one shot kind of deal. The girls were cooperating so well, and I finally got Tommy to run over and lay down for a moment. Then he jumped up grabbed more leaves and ran off again. Sooo... This is it

Tommy seemed at home in the leaves. He loved rolling around and throwing them. Maybe he thinks he is a squirrell.
