8 Months Old

This year has gone by so quickly, I can't believe we are already in October! Thankfully we are having nice weather right now so I can still pretend that the snow is not coming. Not much is going on in my life right now, mostly it's just being a chauffeur for the bugs and the fun that they are having. Last week I did get to spend a few days with my parents as they came up for a visit. It was fun for the girls to love on their grandparents. Well here is the latest update on the girls as well as new photos, I think they are the cutest kids in the world, but I may be a bit biased.

Arabella is eight months old now! I can't believe how fast the time is going by. She is sitting up by herself and is even working on getting into a seated position by herself. She is a happy baby who loves to play with her family. One of her favorite things now is to watch as her sisters make funny faces, she cracks up every time. She also LOVES to eat. We have yet to find a food that she will not eat, her favorite food right now is graham crackers though.

Annika is excited that it is finally October as she knows that her birthday is in October. She is having a lot of fun in preschool this year and her teachers say that she is a wonderful girl there. Annika also loves dance class, she is a little ballerina and just adores it.

MacKayla is having a blast in kindergarten. She loves her new friends and all that she is getting to learn. She has almost completed her kindergarten skills book already and is about ready to read. Just a couple more months and she can join in the family love of reading. MacKayla is also enjoying dance class, she loves to spin and dance all day long.

Deal of the day

I have a good friend who is the coupon queen and she has been teaching me how to use coupons, well this week I think I might have done her proud. I bought 15 boxes of Electrosol dishwasher tables, 25 cans of tomatoes, and two packages of toilet paper, for the grand total of........$5.08.

The Electrosol were $.09 a box, the tomatoes and the toilet paper were free. I only had to pay tax on everything. It was awesome to pay twice as much in tax as actual cost.

Here are the photos of what I got.

Patriotic

I meant to post this video last week for September 11th, but alas time got away from me again. I run and run, but I never seem to get ahead of it.



Here's also a few fun pictures of the girls.

Nature

These are a few of the photos that I took this weekend. I love to spend time outside and to enjoy the sights of summer. I am hoping that if I can spend enough time outside now that it will sustain me through the winter. So anyways, take a look if you enjoy nature photos.
I love how bright this flower was.

This was was neat as it stood out so much compared to the leaves around it. A happy spot in the middle of darkness.

When we took the girls to feed the ducks they looked so peaceful swimming and enjoying the food.

I love the way the water looks in this one.


This is a photo facing the falls.

The rocks at the falls.

The Temple from across the falls.

The falls from the bridge, I love this one.

More flowers for those cold wintry days.

Party Day

We had our awesome Fisher-Price House Party today. The kids all seemed to have fun playing with the toys and the moms and dads enjoyed talking. The only bad thing...I left the camera upstairs and forgot to take any pictures, oh well. Suffice it to say it was the best baby party around.
