If I did ANYTHING right in this life...
I produced (with the help of Tim, of course!) some DAMN cute kids.

Title: Boring
I have the hardest time coming up with titles.
I feel like I have a life lately. When the babies were getting up at all crazy hours of the night, I was passing out at the same time as they went to bed at night, just to make sure I got sleep. Now that they've been sleeping through the night (most nights, anyhow) I am being super risky and staying up and getting a few important things done such as checking my Facebook page and my email. VERY important stuff!
But really....
when you are rather disconnected from the world most days email and Facebook is all I've got other than diapers and strawberry milk!
Not too much new to report, but I'll bullet the current highlights here.

- Gage is the "Student of the Week" next week at preschool. We had to fill out a poster "All About Me" tonight and when asked "What do you want to be when you grow up?" he responded, "A Daddy". I like that one.
- I've been working out like crazy. I am down 5 lbs. in 4 weeks, so I'm excited about that. I have been asked, "How do you find the time?" but I just do. It's my only outlet and I get free childcare w/ my membership, so it's just a priority for me right now. I have two bins of "skinny" clothes from forever ago (or so it seems) that I REALLY want to get back in to. So, we'll see. I like punkin' pie, and you know what time of year is right around the corner....
- Loving the "Biggest Loser" (Spoiler alert) Sad to see Shay go home tonight, but man was I sick of seeing and hearing her cry. She definitely needs a therapist.
- I got a bunch of Christmas shopping done tonight. Feels good. Just a few more people left, and then I'm done. We're cutting back HUGE this year on gifts...just buying for the kids in the family and that is about it.

My Audience
So I am wondering...
Who reads this? I see the "Visit Counter" slowly creep up to the 13,000 mark...and I know I pop on here at least once a day to see if there are any new comments, but only a few of my friends leave comments. I know that for some people, like my and Tim's parents, they do not have a Gmail account so they are not necessarily logged in to leave a message, and would have to be known as "Anonymous". But even if you leave a comment as anonymous, you can sign your name in the post.
Anyhow, I really am curious who keeps up on my life. I don't advertise this blog on my Facebook Account, as I don't necessarily want every single person I went to high school or college with visiting this blog, and I will never offer contests or advertise, as I am not interesting enough to try and keep a regular viewing audience. But if you pop in regularly, or even a couple of times a year, please let me know. I really want to know who is interested in what I am writing!!! And lets be honest, my writing doesn't bring people here or keep them; it's my adorable kids, right????

Halloween 2009
Landon, Bronson
Landon the Turkey!
We had a very Halloween weekend. (Well, it's still continuing, and so far so good!)
Saturday was an errand-running day for Tim, and a cleaning and laundry day for me. We headed to our health club, called the "Centre" at 2 for their Halloween party. Both babies were great sports in their costumes and slept the entire time we were there!
Gage was able to wear his costume for all of 10 minutes (until he complained it was "itchy") and jumped in the bouncing castle until he got bumped in the eye and cried. It actually did leave a mark; you know Gage is hurt when he cries, as he is usually pretty tough. There were some games there such as pumpkin bowling, and treats like popcorn.
We then headed over to our friends' Lisa and Jarrett for dinner and the boys (sons Trent and Tommy) played until it was time for trick-or-treating. The guys took the boys out around the block and down the street, and Lisa and held babies and drank wine! We were all home in bed by 10pm.
Overall, it was a great day, spent w/ great friends. Hope you had a nice Halloween as well!

Perceptions of a Preschooler
Gage has been very interested in using my camera lately...
and I've been rather surprised at some of the pictures he's taken, as well as them causing a smile to come to my face.
I thought his "artwork" deserved a post.
Welcome to the Gage Gallery:

Pumpkin Time!
Gage started out far away...didn't want to touch.(He never has...)
I really wanted a picture, so we put some candy in there and told him to get it out! BRIBERY!!!!!!
Being a goof!
Bronson (a.k.a. Bronny McBronwin)
Landon--SCARED
Landon- MAD
Landon- HAPPY (or just dealing with it??)
Around here...
We've been SICK, sick, SICK! Nothing too scary such as the H1N1 crap, but just basic colds...
lots of coughs, sore throats, and laryngitis for me last weekend. Other than that, things are just busy. "Trying" to get the babies on a better daytime schedule, which may produce some crying fits this week...
not just for the babies, but for me, too!
Night time WAS going good before the babies got sick. Actually, Bronson has it down and will sleep on average from 9pm-430am or later. Landon on the other hand, tends to like to get up around 12-1am, and then again before dawn. Not sure how we're going to fix that one, if we even can!
We did split the boys up recently and they now sleep in separate cribs. They were starting to wiggle just a little too much for my own comfort. Personalities are slowly starting to emerge as well. Bronson seems to be a little bit more laid back. Totally content to just "chill" in the swing, bouncy, etc. Landon needs just a little bit more in terms of attention. He's content for awhile, but never nearly as much as Bronson. He also doesn't seem to fall asleep as well without being soothed. Yes. I have created a problem I'll have to deal with....but it's my problem!!!!! They say you can never spoil a baby? Let's just hope that it's true.
The following are some recent pictures taken over the past couple of weeks. I am thinking they are looking identical again...
thoughts?

My Goddaughter Madi. She was up for one week this past summer, and for her long teacher-inservice weekend a few weeks ago. I'm sure we'll have her back for Christmas. She is a FABULOUS help and we all love her!

So Happy!
