Hello Again

Well, It's been over a year since I posted...yikes. And, sorry about the huge picture at the top, was trying to fix it, but blogger says my upload storage is maxed out. Whatever! I will try to fix this prob ASAP. But meanwhile, lets enjoy a post or two.

This kid, Conner, he's got heart. A big heart full of LOVE. I had to start blogging again, all because of this story:

One day Conner paused the TV on a picture of a poor starving child somewhere half across the world. I asked him what he was doing and he said he was coloring a picture of "that." I was like, "huh?" Why would he be coloring a picture of an emaciated child...but I let him continue because I had to see what the heck was up. He finishes and brings me a piece of paper with a 1-800 number on it...the same number posted below the child on TV. He tells me, "See mom, this is the number you can call to help a child. Do you see that child there? He is sad and hungry and he needs help. You can help him if you call this number. I wrote it down for you so you would have it and you could call."

Yes, I teared up. Can you believe that? Then today, out of the blue, he says to me again "Hey mom, remember that number I gave you so you can call to help a child that is sad? You should call that"

Wow.

You Need a Girl

Gotta be honest, I totally love making cute little things for baby girls.

Ot Do-toe and Rain

These two cuties soaked themselves playing outside...I was hesitant to send them out because it was so cold (by CA standards)...but they had the rainy day wiggles-so out they went. Barefoot and all. Afterwards, they came in, I stripped them down and had them sit "nakey pants" in front of the space heater until they warmed up.

Wyatt calls it Ot Doe-Toe.

The only thing about giving the boys Hot Coco is the instant sugar rush they get...instant CRAZY!

149 Pictures to Choose From and I Chose These

Sharing some Halloween Candy. Adorable.

Last soccer game. Took 3 pics and then my camera died. Grrrr. We had the team party afterwards at the park. Conner got an armless trophy (coach says he'll order a new one since it broke off...I won't hold my breath). I got to make Conner safe cupcakes for him since the team was having cupcakes. He was super excited about that.

Nya Nya O got the boys some "floam" for Christmas last year. I let them play with it outside cuz it's such a huge mess. I just spray away the leftovers. We're almost down to nothing.

One day I discovered half my tomato plant chewed away. This huge tomato worm was the culprit. Conner wanted to take it to his preschool. When I came downstairs in the morning, the top was ripped open and he was missing. EWWWWWWWW! Luckily Wyatt found him and we jarred him up again with a regular top. He started going crazy (like a caged animal at the zoo). Doing circle after circle. I actually felt bad for him. So, I put him in a plastic bag and squashed him with a hammer...

Conner had a little festival for Halloween at his preschool and we are allowed to go and take siblings on those days. So here are some pictures of the fun. Lots of games and food.

Yes, they actually climb the ladder to get places.
