Ugh....

Rob's out of town and I'm overworked.

The end.

All day school.....YEAY!

Gabe started his first day of first grade today (at least the first FULL day). How exciting.

I'm excited and I think he is too.

He is growing up so fast. It's hard to keep up with him sometimes.

He's excited to make new friend and learn new things. Oh, and he gets to take his lunch to school. Like a picnic....EVERY DAY! Exciting.

Looking forward to not picking up a child right before lunch. Makes the day ALL crazy.

Good Lucky Gabe-y babe! We love you!

Please welcome the newest addition to our family...

The Nordic Track Autostrider 990

Okay, so it's not a Precor (I'm a little choked up about that too) but I didn't have several thousand dollars to get one so.....I bought the "best I could afford" (right Mom?). I love it. Tried it out this morning.....super awesome!

BTW....it's a space saver too.....check it out!

So full of personality!

Isaac got into my make-up, another one of his favorite past times (since Aunt Christy came to visit, that is :) !) Not only did he get it all over himself but on the carpet too. Ugh!

Here Gabe is attempting to clean up his room. He often gets distracted and reads instead. I just thought it was funny that he was in his PJ bottoms, new school shoes and no shirt.

What can you make with a little brown sugar and flour? A BIG mess....that's what!

Me: "Gabe, can you watch Isaac while I take a quick shower?"

After he consented I proceeded to do just that. When I get out of the shower I hear Gabe in MY room and.....no Isaac.

Me: "Gabe...where's Isaac?"

Gabe: "He got into the food closet and is making a HUGE mess!"

Me: "Ummmm...okay...and where were you?"

Gabe: "It was too late...I couldn't stop it."

Sigh....

I dressed as fast as I could, not sure what I would find in the other room. I rounded the corner and found this:

Ugh....this really is his favorite past time. He's just never had so much time to enjoy it (without being intercepted, that is).

Gabe also happened to capture more Isaac mischief. I have never had a child with so many "tentacles" before. This kid is into EVERYTHING! Mr. Octopus Man!
