Time Machine……………….

December 22, 2014

Whoa, I blinked and it’s Christmas. Both girls are on Winter Break from school and we’re taking it very seriously. This morning started with an indoor bounce house “facility”, followed by tacos. I mean, life doesn’t get much better than that. Over the next few days a whole slew of family will show up in town and then the poo will really hit the fan. The following pictures aren’t in any kind of order, just good solid representations of what has been happening around here. Adios, muchacharitos.

First, Hopefully Not The Last…………

November 18, 2014

Alice tried her hand at a practical joke the other night and totally nailed it.  Aunt’s 50th birthday party, church basement, 100 people, a pile of name tags and a permanent marker.  She pretended to lean up to the table to get some water and BAM!  The trap was set!  Now all she had to do was maintain composure, that’s right, nothing to see here folks.  The other pictures are just filler,  the “kikme” sticker is the main event.

The skatepark is in heavy rotation right now.  Alice is a natural, and can’t get enough.  It’s been pretty fun for me to get back on the board too.  Anna loves it and squeals every time she starts rolling.  Halloween is creeping up on us and the girls got to pick their own costumes.  Alice is a “Ninja Puppy” and Anna is a “Rainbow Kitty”.  Last year Anna was dressed as Darth Vader in all black and we lost her for about 20 minutes,  so this year I bought 20 glow sticks to attach to Anna and Alice has a battery operated, light up samurai sword. Parents of the year.

Once a Month I Guess?……………..

October 4, 2014

Been doing some heavy duty slacking on the posty updatey thingys.  It’s awefully Octobery round’ here, we even went to a pumkin patch, camp firey, bounce housey, smoked turkey leggy kinda joint.  Alice is full blown in love with kindergarten and Anna took to preschool like a turkey to gravy.  Look at these pictures.  Seriously.  Fun.

Let the Good Time Roll………………

She loves to vacuum.  She could definitely have worse hobbies.  Now that she is in school the dust bunnies are taking over!

It happened again.  Another first day.  Anna was the first preschooler to show up on the first day of school.  These girls are unstoppable.  I guess we should start looking at colleges?

The Big K……….

August 13, 2014

This morning the whole family walked to the neighborhood elementary school and only 3 of us walked back.  Alice is officially a  Kindergartener.  There were no tears, no trepidation on anyone’s part.  In the door, down the hall, find your cubby, find your seat.

This afternoon on the two block walk home, Alice told me Kindergarten is great at least 50 times.  Boom.

Down to the Wire………….

July 24, 2014

It’s almost over. Both kids in school starting in about 4 weeks. So, these next four weeks better be super awesome. Sky-diving, shark boxing, fire eating, and some normal kid stuff too. It’ll be tough tearing myself away from them, but it will also be great to have a life again. Here are some pics from summer adventures, enjoy. If you have any suggestions for future adventures (or a vacation home we can use for free) let us know!
