Remember when?

Here is a picture of the bigs when they were 2 1/2...the same age that Z is now. Its hard to believe that they were ever that small or that hilarious. It is such a cute age, that Z quite steals the thunder from his siblings. Here they are getting their big wheels which they wouldn't be able to ride for a year. But Dave had found them and so wanted them to have them. You can also see the stereo that Dave got me. It sits on my counter and plays talk radio while I clean my floors or make a Halloween costume. In the background are my Holy Family statuettes that someone (maybe my MIL?) gave me. Last year (or the year before) someone dropped Maray and she broke. Maybe that's what I should put on my Christmas list...?

Sad news today

One of Nathan's former hockey coaches passed away suddenly last night.
Coach Dragon was playing on his men's hockey team, had an apparent heart attack and died.
He has two young kids and a beautiful wife.
So sad.
Dave is off to Wisconsin today. I decided to tell Nathan after school. I so hope he doesn't hear about it before I can break the news at home.

Hockey today...and church school. Nathan is still at hockey and Sarah and Z are painting. Ike's taking a nap. Later today we are off to the fire station open house.
Z is having a problem with his painting. He puts too much water on the sheet and then it tears.
MOMMY this one is broken. This one needa go in da garbage. MOMMY get me new paper. I love you Sarah!
Z, you gotta wash it off and then put it in a color. See Z?
WHY Sarah, Why you gotta wash it off?
Z!!
I sorry Sarah.

I better go supervise!
