How can it be??!!

Really, September is already gone and October is half over??

Quick little family update then is needed!

William is a wild little boy! There you have it! He climbs, runs, is starting to talk up a storm, says NO a lot, and is the cutest little boy in the world. He loves to dump his food on his head, and then rub it in his hair. Pictures?? Of course! :) One of his cutest moments that he does daily is run up to Isabelle when she is walking out in her line when pre-school is over. He grabs her hand and joins the line. All the surrounding parents and teachers think it is super cute too and they always have the biggest smiles whne they see him do it. I wonder how long that will last. :)

Isabelle is LOVING pre-school again this year! She has a new teacher and a whole new group of kids in her class, so there has been a bit of a slow start, in the warming up department, but she comes home with all sorts of stories! She also has a new princess backpack which helps keep all her things organized. She loves to learn new things and then come home and play teacher with us as her students. Super Cute!! At home, she is helping more with some chores, like folding and putting away her clothes and cleaning the playroom, but forget about her room... a constant tornado is taking place in there.

Both kiddos are out growing clothes and shoes like no tomorrow, and where do all the socks go?

As for me and Eric, we are both working as usual. Computers are still up and running in the world and kids are still kids. At least this year I am still liking my classes. This time last year I had all but checked out. The current 9th grade teachers are already at their wits end. That was a tough behavior group. Loving this group of 8th graders.

Photography is booming with Seniors, Families and my new favorite type, Publicity!

The Pumpkin Patch will be seeing us this weekend, so there will be a photo update soon. Sorry for not updating more, for my most loyal of fans, but two kiddos is a whirlwind of chaos and fun. Sadly this blog is the last thing on the list of things to update. But when I do, it is a nice surprise. :)

Love to you all!!

Karokee Fun! And Publicity!

This summer was awesome! Especially with the karokee nights! We went out once a week and sang and danced and had a blast! Because we went ALL the time, I got to know the Karokee master and his bosses, and they asked me if I would do a publicity shoot for them, to help them advertise their Karokee services! What a thrill!



These first few photos are from the publicity shoot, that are most likely going to bet published! Super excited!




The rest of the photos are fun ones that we took during the summer! Enjoy!

Renaissance Fair

One of our summer treks was to the Renaissance Fair! I brought the camera, to try and get some pics of the characters and got some real funny shots.


Knut the Cat

The Viking Day Care


Charging Pirate during the Pirate Parade!

Not sure of the name of this little creature, something with 'Sugar' in it, but Isabelle loved it as it climbed all over her arms and up onto her shoulders
Hungry Skeleton

A visit with royalty!
The Queen taught Isabelle how to courtsey and gave her a specail butterfly broche.

Lots of fairies were all over the place...

As were weird masked men...

... and Goat Boys.

These Knights werent' to keen on all the fairies...

Look closely!

The knights are covered in fairies that crashed into them.

Fairy Dwelling

Isabelle looooved the fairies the BEST, so her fairy treat was a flower petal hat.

And of course a photo opp with 'real fairies'

Face painting!

And some posing with a skeleton of course!!!

Isabelle loved the guy and wouldn't stop talking to him. Her friend Aiden was a little more apprehensive, but she finally coaxed him into getting close enough to the skeleton to get a pic.


Swimming

This summer Isabelle had her second year of swim lessons and graduated into the next level! YAY! Of course that she had to do a 'bob' and go under water to move up a level. That mango smoothie in her hand is that thing called a bribe! Under water she went! Of course, negotiations then started... strawberry smoothies were for jumping in the pool and going under.




Most of this summer's swim lesson were videoed, so ther arent that many photos.


At the last swim lesson there was a pirate party... so with a life vest, Isabelle was able to and wanted to swim 'all by herself' and she did!

Even William had fun at the pirate party and got in the pool.

William loves his railroad hat!!!

But it is a better view up here to see the dragons!

Of course I had to grab the camera and get a photo before I scolded him and moved the table.

Super tired kiddos! They had a busy summer!

Isabelle reads stories to her brother

He loves to play withhis sister!
