Almost a month since the last post---shame on me!!! I really do need to do better. Seems that farming on Facebook has cut into my blog time. Pitiful, huh?!?!? :)
Well, there have been several great things in our little world since I last posted anything. Not too long after the last one, Kobe got an award for his CRCT test scores. He was so excited and couldn't wait to get all dressed up for the award ceremony. It ended up being very unorganized and extremely crowded, but I'm glad we went anyway. He was proud and I was too!
Hannah has continued being a tiny tornado. No matter how many times you pick up after her, pieces of her room still seem to be everywhere you look---living room, dining room, computer desk---you name it, you'll find evidence of her there! She's so sweet with her babies that you can't help but love it though :)
Kobe made Hannah a hat out of his poster a few weeks back. He put it on her and laughed, saying "Look Hannah, now you're an orphan!" I had to explain to him that it isn't called an "orphan hat". How funny!
I took the kids to Tana's birthday party the first weekend in October. It was at the park in Cave Spring. We had a great time. We'll have to go back for a picnic and to let them see the park another day because we ran out of time to do so that evening. They did get to play on the playground for a little while. I was just telling some people that Hannah's face was finally looking better, and wouldn't you know....I look up and she's dangling from the monkey bars all by herself (and can't get down!). Luckily, I was pretty close and got to her in time to keep her from falling.
The kids and I were home last Friday while Curtis was working. I had the day off and we were just being lazy. It started raining so I decided to let both of them go outside and play in the rain. They gave me the funniest looks when I opened the front door and said, "Go play". Kobe and Hannah both had a blast! I enjoyed watching them laugh, run around, and play in the little puddles on the walkway in front of the porch. I wanted to go out in it too, but I knew I'd miss out on the pictures if I did. It was worth it to capture their smiles and excitement (plus I had already stood in the rain for a minute one night that week when going from my car to the house---I couldn't resist!).
Last weekend was a lot of fun. My mom and I took the kids to the fair (where I learned that rides make you dizzy a lot faster as you get older) and then Kobe and Hannah got to spend the weekend with Nana and Pops at Lock and Dam. Curtis had to work all weekend, so I decided to have a girls day out with my mom on Saturday---so much fun! I haven't laughed that much in a while :) I ate more junk food than I needed, but I enjoyed it anyway. Shopping, Starbucks ice cream...absolute bliss!!!
We went to the pumpkin patch in Dawsonville this weekend. The kids always love seeing the huge pumpkins and stopping to get apples and other treats. It was pretty cold this year, so we weren't able to roam around too much. I think they were still glad to go anyway.
The weekend ended with going to a baby shower for my cousin Stephanie this afternoon. I didn't really get many pictures there because I forgot to charge my camera batteries before going. Grandad entertained the children for us while everyone else "oohed" and "ahhed" over the gifts. Baby things are so precious!!!
Speaking of precious...I ran across this picture of Hannah and me while looking through all of my dad's photos. It's from Christmas last year. My little accident-prone wild child actually seems calm and sweet in this one ;) I guess she can't do too much damage while sleeping! (She's fallen from a chair twice in the last couple of weeks and ran right into my parents' table with her face today!)
