Slave Driver

 
This is a very quick clip (because I didn't think to video it until we were almost done)...but every time I go to mop the floor by hand (with this floor it happens more than I want) the kids always want to help-- I love it! 

Madi and Quinton dancing

 
So we have this singing (Christmas) mouse we got at a yard sale this summer for 25 cents (Their grandma Kathy had one of these and Madi just loved it...so that is why we bought it)...anyway now both children love it--and they really like to dance to its song. Totally worth the 25 cents!
 
A little more dancing...
 


Madi Reading to Quinton

 
I found Madi (pretend) reading to Quinton in his room--super cute! As you can see he is really listening and showing his sister so much love.

Fall Update

 Madi's first day of preschool!
She goes on Tuesdays and Thursdays for 2 hours in the morning. She really enjoys it.
 My first time canning (peaches)!
 My lovely visiting teacher (Connie Sanders) offered to show me how to can peaches. We did just over 50 cans! It took most of the day--so nice of her to give up her Saturday!
 Quinton got sick and also is getting in his 2 molars on top and did not feel well...so this is how he spent most of his time--laying around or screaming a lot!
 A cute picture of Madi and her baby--that weighs a good 3 pounds!
 I love that my kids play so well together--I hope that continues as they go through life.
 Madi got sick after Quinton and she decided she wanted to lay in the living room on the floor--every once in a while she would get up and dance around (in that same spot) and then lay back down--you could tell she really wanted to play, but just didn't have energy to do much. Quinton desperately wanted her pedialyte drink--and he also loves being around her!
 Found Quinton sleeping hard in his room--lost his pants (happens all the time when he is awake--skinny kid!) somehow...and wanted his feet in between the bars I guess.
 Here are the pants at the opposite end of his bed.
 
Halloween 2012
Madi as a  cute bunch of grapes
 Quinton and Madi before the trunk or treat at the church.
 Quinton as a good looking monkey!
Cory thought Quinton looked a lot like a real monkey in this one (because of the look on his face).
