Like maybe Thing 1 or Thing 2?
I know, I know ... it's a total cliche. But I still think they are adorable. And the hair stays on amazingly well!
Happy (early) Halloween!

My girl.
She's growing up too fast. Almost 3, and already I can see the teen years.
She's definitely got a sense of style. She loves this hat, and likes to wear skirts.
And she will let me take her picture now. :-)
And this guy ... my 150% kid. It's all or nothing. Love his goofy little stride. Heck, I love everything about him, even when he drives me nuts. :-)

Because we might get stuck in MN this weekend ...
It looks like our plans to go to SoDak for Turner's birthday and Taryn's baptism might be hijacked by the STUPID.SWINE.FLU. Ugh. I have the flu, and apparently the main strain that is going around right now is the swine flu because it is too early for the normal kind of flu.
So that means that the family picture plans ... not going to happen. The fun party on Friday night? Gonna miss it. Catching up with family and friends? Nope, not us. I have to be symptom free for 24 hours, and no one else can come down with symptoms. Since it is 3:44 pm on Thursday and I'm still spiking a fever of 101 or better, I think it is safe to say Friday is out.
Sigh.
Instead, I'll share a photo of my awesome kids. Seriously - they were so cooperative when I asked for this picture! We had about 10 minutes before the mosquitos swarmed, and I'm pretty happy with it. :-)

Hey again!
Wow. I guess I took a bit of a blog break, eh?
Well, I'm back now. Summer is winding down. School starts soon, and just in case we were feeling like we had too much spare time, we decided we better get a few of the kids in some activities.
So. Quinners is now enrolled in dance/gymnastics. I can't believe I'm going to be a dance mom. She does love to shake it, though. We went to Bob's cousin's wedding dance, and Miss Quinn danced so much and so hard that she got blisters all over her little feet. Even that didn't slow her down!
And this guy is now in karate. Tonight was the first class. He is going to love it, I think. He got to do blocks, and kick, and use that long stick (whatever it is called ... I'm not up to speed on this stuff yet) ... very cool. I'm excited for him.
The twins are growing. And scootching. And (knock on wood) maybe starting to sleep a bit more. This whole mobility thing is going to keep me busy though!
That's about it. And just so I don't post with a single lonely photo, here's Quinn after she and her little playmate decided to "garden". Nice. How can a child so girly be such a little tomboy?
I'd type more, but Holden keeps pushing buttons. Night, all!

Noah's super cool shirt
I'm still having a ton of fun with the fabric paint. But now I've sucked the kids into my craftiness. Noah drew a tank (such a boy) ...
I converted it to a stencil, and this is the result. How stinking cool is that?! He loves it, I love it, Bob loves it (and wants me to make a t-shirt for him!)
Then I drew a robot for G. Unfortunately, G wanted a car, so he wasn't as thrilled as I was with the shirt. It is SO apt, though. G and Quinn will run around the house chanting, "I am a robot" in monotone voices. No other point to the game ... just the chanting. He claims he doesn't do that, but hello - I'm subjected to it on a regular basis. I KNOW. :-)
I'm going to make him a car shirt asap, as soon as I pick up a cheapy tee in town. And I've got some extra onesies that I'm going to stencil and put in my etsy store. If you have a request, send it my way!!
Now I'm off to finish my prep for my classes. I am teaching 2 classes this quarter - yikes. Say a little prayer for me that things go well, because I feel stressed. Later!

Car + Gas Pump
The babies are getting bigger - who'd a thunk it? I still need to take their 6 month photos (even though they are closing in on 7 months - doh!) but here are a few snaps from tonight. My new crafty-type obsession is painting t-shirts. Even more fun than appliquing t-shirts!
I'll save more details about the 6 month milestones for when I have pictures to share - but let's just say they are mobile. Not full-on crawling, but definitely not staying where I put them.
We'll start with Max. Holden was napping. Maddox will soon learn that if you don't sleep, you get to model for mommy.
He doesn't seem to mind.
Then Holden decided he didn't want to be left out.
One last shot - the two of them together, spilling out of my little beanbag. You can see Holden's shirt in this one - he's the car, and Max is the gas pump. Cute, right? :-)
