Patiently waiting......
Everyone is in place, including babylheron. Just have to wait until "it's time".
Deep breaths and lots of tricks to start this labor!

Not an optical illusion!

Halloween Weekend

Dressing up is just part of life around our house. There are jedis and princesess running around our house most days. This weekend, we got to actually choose something that everyone would see! So, here we go..... Isabel was a disco girl, Gabe was a stick figure for one party and then Darth Vador for Saturday night, Adeline and Beatrice were Tinkerbell. I didnt have to sew one thing!! I was proud of my children for being nice to me and not choosing something I'd have to sew at the last minute. Chris and I were Nuclear Power Plant Inspectors. hahahaah!

Chris brought home the paper jumpsuit that he wears while inspecting the nuclear power plants. I cant believe that a paper thin suit protects you from nuclear bad stuff. hahaaha! At any rate, I felt protected. hahaha! I added HAZMAT to the back of the suits and off we went. It was hilarious being twins with Chris. It was even more funny having people checking out a pregnant woman in a nuclear waste outfit. People took pictures. hahaahah! Funny! Anyway, we had a fun weekend.

IMPRESSIVE!

I got out of the shower today and I was seriously impressed at what I saw!!!

A stool was up against the counter and my skin care lotions and bottles were all over the bathroom. My makeup bag was strewn over the counter. The wall had a nice masterpiece Picasso would be proud of done in marker. The entire full roll of toilet paper roll was in huge piles over the floor and through the house as a little trail to the silent culprit. Beatrice sitting in the middle of the living room floor covered in toilet paper and a little lip gloss tube in hand. She had a huge smile and had a beautiful glossy look on her entire face. She was so excited! It was a silent visitor during my one moment of privacy. A bang up job at what kinds of things she can do with out anyone there to get in her way of wearing a little lip gloss in under 7 mins.

Pumpkin Carving night

The kids LOVE love the night that we carve pumpkins! We have loads of fun.

They all each get one to do whatever they want to it.

We get some crazy requests to carve like Cat faces, Princesses, Mario, Some other characters I've never heard of, Eyelashes, Harry Potter and Money signs. HAHAHA! I try to do my best at carving, but I'm no Martha Stewart!

Remember I'm still pregnant. hahah!

The Amigos

Aaaaachhoooooo!

(A boys dream of slimming his sisters)
Super girl wasn't quite sure.... Who is going to clean all of this up?

Our LOST cat!

We lost our cat. She ran away a few nights ago and took her boy kitten with her. If you live in our area, keep an eye out for her please. This is her photo and her kitten when he was only a few weeks. He's now about 3 or 4 months old. The shelter said to start looking in your car engines before you start up if you park outside because stray cats are starting to crawl up into them to stay warm in the night. Its freezing around here! Thanks!

A new fun thing!

I started a new blog!
I saw this idea one day of taking a photo a day. I love taking photos. I know I am not all that great, but I like to do it anyway. I thought I had a nice camera, but it seems like they are always coming out with something nicer. So, I do what I can with my Sony 5.1 camera.

The link is http://www.leslie365photos.blogspot.com/
I think it will be a fun thing for me to do.

It'll just be boring for all of you because it's what I'm interested in that I am taking pictures of.

count down

I keep on looking at the countdown of when the baby is coming and freak!

I cant believe that I only have 7 weeks left! Maybe I'll go a week late again. I hope so! There is NO PROBLEM with babies staying put for a few more days.

Life will never be the same. Doesn't that sound great! It's always fun inviting a new member to the family. Life really isnt the same again. We will soon think,

"how did we get along with out this little person?"

Snow and Conference

It snowed Sunday morning! Surprise! Well, we live in Idaho, so I shouldn't be surprised at all. You never know what you'll get around here.

The kids played outside any moment they could. I loved hanging out in my warm and cozy sweater and watching the kids from inside drinking warm herbal tea. ha! It was really fun.

The only thing I am not looking forward to is organizing all the STUFF that comes with cold weather! Shoes, boots, socks, slippers, scarfs, hats, jackets, snow suits, heavy coats, gloves and mittens. I like putting a few flip flops next to the door and call it good.

Farewell Summer! (maybe)
some of the photos are a bit cut off in the slideshow here, but its still cute! because my kids are in it of course!

I have no pictures of us watching Conference. You know the drill. Kids listening quietly and taking notes. Right! That will be the day! I cant even get Chris to do that! hahaha! They did pretty good. We played conference games including the classic M&M Bingo game. I think we ended up just using crayons to mark the bingo squares to get a "black out" because we ate all the M&Ms. Ha!
I think Saturday General Conference was very direct and gave specific instructions on Gospel Principles. All I know is that I think Conference was just for us. I got so much out of it. I am glad we had a chance to watch all of conference this year. Its always nice to be uplifted and instructed by the professionals.

days like this

days like this makes it all worth it.

esp with Adeline.

She's a handful, but I know she loves me.

Free Spirits!

Ok, so I always am saying that my kids have a bit of my free spirit. Some more than others. Now, I don't have a desire to strip down and color all over myself because it looks cool and accessorize with the perfectly chosen necklace, but I think that is what I would have done at age 2 if I was allowed to. The good thing is that Beatrice is reading to her kitten, Goggles.You can only imagine what kind of LOVE that kitten gets!! HAHAHA!

Here she is reading to her favorite doll her favorite book that has the same coloring on it from a previous encounter. Pretty fun!

Adeline dressing in layers of clothes that she just thinks looks cool. She then has a paper crown clipped into her hair. She is pretty amazing at what she comes up with. Her teacher isnt too sure, but oh well!! She went to school today with 2 skirts on. ( I didnt have my camera handy) She had a t-shirt on with one skirt up around her arm pits and the other around her waist. She just couldnt decide which to wear, so naturally she solved her own problem.

Man, these kids are soo fun! Even though we have to soak in the bath several times after their ideas, I think what they do is Inspiring. It makes me think of how I could express myself a bit more. Hummm...
