Dear Santa

Well Paige wrote her first letter to santa the other day. Look how good she writes her name. She did it all on her own. I helped her with the Dear Santa part. The lines are what she wants, she's so cute.

My Favorite Pastime

This is the one tradition of my family that I loved. Whenever my mom would make her homemade noodles she would always let Christine and I help, no matter how old we were. It is very important for me to pass this on to the girls. I snapped a few pictures of them because THEY ARE SOOO CUTE! Look at Paige's face, LOL. Katie really got into it. She rolled the rolling pin great. Paige decided she was making cake though.

I'm going to work

Ok so this was just so cute. After Katie pretended to iron john's work shirt she proceeded to put it on and pretend to go to work. I grabbed the camera and Paige saw the attention I was giving Katie. Paige then put on John's other shirt and wouldn't come over for a picture. Sorry about the messy house, but I can't bend over anymore. 14 more days!!! Maybe my house will look somewhat decent in a month or so.

Katie also is my little helper. She helps me everyday put the dishes away. She even knows which drawers things go in. She also tries to help organize, but winds up pulling everything out on the floor. Can't blame her for trying though. She also has gotten very polite. Whenever she wants something she asked me and then if I don't hear her she says "PLEEEEEEEEAAAAASSSSEE!" until I acknowledge her.

Paige is growing up so fast. She has gotten into a make-up-a-song-to everything phase. Going potty, walking to the kitchen, in the grocery store, and whatever else she is doing. She has even made up her own language. It's quite impressive. She is getting good at school, although I think she can do more than she is willing to do. She just wants attention by pretending she doesn't know the letter we're working on or writing her name. She says she doesn't know how when she's done it a million times. She is so excited for thanksgiving. She keeps talking about the turkey we have in the fridge. She still thinks it has feathers and a head. I keep telling her it doesn't, but she wants me to show her it. She is super excited to make a pumpkin pie using our pie pumpkins from our garden.

Well I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving and hopefully this little boy waits until after the 28 th to come.

STINKY!

Here is Katie examining a stink bug that got in the house. She is so funny, she will look at it then say "Eww BUG!!!" then run towards me. I get a kick out of her. Paige wouldn't come close for a picture. Besides the fact that she was in her underwear....again.

MY OH MY!!

For those of you who have not seen me here I am 8 1/2 month pregnant. I don't think I look as big as I feel though. Thank goodness it's almost over!

Making Music

Here are the girls actually being nice and playing with each other. Until this month they only used to fight over toys and beat each other up. You wouldn't think girls so young would have hormonal issues, but I swear they do. OR they just pick it up from mom :)

Pumpkin Time

Well I wanted the girls to experience pumpkin carving and thought the girls would have tons of fun. John picked up a pumpkin for me and I started halloween morning to set up. Paige was excited to paint our pumpkins that we grew out of our garden, but I wanted her to help carve the big one. I opened it up and the girls both yelled "EEEWWW GROSS!" and Paige didn't want anything to do with it from then on. So as soon as I took out the stringy stuff Katie was daring enough to pick out 3 seeds for me and then scoop with our scooper. It was fun anyway and then the kids painted their own pumpkins. Hopefully Paige will enjoy it better next year.

Some Halloween Pics

I am so totally lazy!! Here are a few pics of me and the girls on halloween. I have been sick lately ear infection and a horrible cold/cough. Figures I get sick when I am so close to my due date. 26 days and counting. I am dilated to a 2 already and just waiting for the big day. The kids are growing like no other and Katie is talking so good now. She talks in sentances and I think we're all getting less frustrated since she can understand more. Now if only she'd listen to me :) Paige is an all around good kid, although today she is testing me. I am super excited to throw Christine her baby shower tomorrow, I hope she has a good time. Well that's about all, I will try to put more pictures on, but I am super busy going to St. George 2 times a week now and trying to get ready for the baby. Hugs and kisses to all!!
