A parade, a party, and a weekend trip

I thought I would be better about keeping the blog updated once I went back to work. Not so much. Here are some pictures from the last couple of weeks.

We enjoyed Fall Fest in Cleghorn. This our third year attending it. There is a nice parade and activities for the kids.

After we left Cleghorn, we headed to Olivia's 5th birthday party. Olivia is also in 4K, but attends the afternoon class. Brenna and Brody enjoyed the horse ride around the yard.

Last weekend, we made a trip to Green Bay to see Steve's Aunts and Uncles from his dad's side of the family. It was really nice to get away for a weekend! The kids slept well and enjoyed the pool at the hotel. We also went to the zoo. We broke down and borrowed my sister's DVD player for the trip. I think it helped a little as the kids were really good for the ride. On Friday before leaving, we made a quick visit to Dr. Gilmartin as Brenna was covered from head to toe with an itchy rash. He diagnosed it as a viral hives and recommended giving her Zyrtec. By Sunday, the hives were almost gone. We made it this week without a reoccurence so hopefully the hives are gone for awhile now.
Brenna and her Hannah Montana shades she picked out. Can you guess who she is going to be for Halloween?

In addition to being itchy, Brenna got a blister so she hitched a shoulder ride with Daddy.

Great Aunt Maxine lives close to a pond where we walked to feed the ducks.

Brody and Brenna with their Great Aunt and Uncles (Ralph, Earl, Vern, Maxine) and Papa.

Brody enjoying his favorite past time. Great Uncle Ralph gave him some pointers on kicking.

Enjoying time in the pool.

Brenna and Brody continue to adjust to a new daycare and school. They love school and seem to like their new daycare. Brenna had less tears for the bus this week too.

Tonight Brenna and Brody were requesting what songs they wanted me to sing for bed time by saying only the first sound of the song. Brody kept saying, "w" "w" "w." I knew he was meaning to say "r" "r" for Rock a Bye Baby so I thought I should see if I could help him to make a good r. I told him what to do with his tongue and he made a perfect r. Brenna wanted to try it too but wasn't having as good of luck. I told her to try putting her tongue way in the back of her mouth. She looks at me with a puzzled look and says, "so I gag myself?" I will think of that every time I am working on /r /with a student!

Brody has been asking so many questions lately some of which include:
Mom, when will I have big boobs....When I get bigger and marry Brenna?

Me: Boys do not usually get large breasts and you won't marry your sister (at least I hope not!).

Brody: Who will I marry then?


All for now!
