Hello, Hello.

I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello.

 

Meet, our toaster.  It was a wedding present about 12 and a half years ago.  It has worked like a charm.  Toasters NEVER last that long!  Except now it has decided to burn everything.  Right now it has found it's new home, in the garbage.  So, goodbye oldie, hello new one!

 

 

Bryant was so thrilled with himself, he won this on Quibids.

And I got  my new bag today. Hello, Hello! 

Food...

Food.  It's what we survive on.  And it's what we love.  For these kids, it's fun too.

 

10.  She ate 10 chicken wings, and was oh so proud of it too!

He said, "mom take my picture"... then devoured, and I got this.

Bryant made spaghetti and meatballs, Gracie decided to eat all her meatballs in one bite.  And she did.

And this little guy was so funny to watch slurping.

Nathan told him he was a messy eater.  Eli replied with, "I no mess.  I E-i.  E-i- E-i- Oh!"

Yum.

September stuff..

Now that it's October, I guess I should post the rest of the pictures from September.  What can I say, this blogging thing is just not working for me lately.  Life is busy... and computer time is rare.  Except today, pay day, therefor it's also pay some bills day.  So, I can steal a second to update the few that may be following our family's happenings.

 

 

Here is my T.  I have been wanting this T for some time now.  And thanks to Michaels I now have it.  The kids comments:  "Wooh mom, there's no glass"...  "It's 3D,  how'd you do that?!"... "what's the T for?"..."Treacle".

 

And here are my cool dudes.  Peas in a pod, I tell ya.

Soccer season has started.  Nathan is on the Thunder Cats team.  He seems to be doing better this year at soccer than in the past.  He still prefers to play defense, in particular goalie, even though at this age they aren't supposed to play that position.

 



Gracies' team is the Silly Cats.  Rather appropriate for a group of 4 and 5 year olds.  She is SO excited to be playing soccer.  We told her she has to wait for soccer to be finished to start dance this year.  Our schedule is so busy as it is, our motto with the kids is "one thing at a time".  The funny thing is that she has such dainty kicks, and her toes are always pointed... as if she is used to that!  haha  Dance is definitely her calling (for now), but she did score 2 goals on Saturdays game.  Maybe when she grows up she can invent some type of soccer ballet.

 



Bryant is assistant coaching for the Silly Cats... I can't express how much he resists the temptation to just take over.

Bryants' brother Stefan, returned form Afghanistan recently and made a pit stop to visit us on his way home to New York.  Stefan wanted pictures of him an Bryant in their ACUs together.  And of course they had to throw in one that shows the difference in rank.  I tried to suggest that Bryant put his foot on Stefans' back while Stefan was doing the push-up.... Stefan didn't go for that though.
