Four Interesting Facts About Me:
-I have to limit myself when I clean because I will keep finding more to clean and will not stop until it's done. I can spend the whole day cleaning one room if I don't set a time limit. Another part of this is when we go out of town our house has to be totally clean, otherwise I'll be very cranky when we get back.
-I truly enjoy cooking and gardening. Two things I never thought I would like to do.
-In our king size bed, I take up 3/4 of it, while Kurt gets the remaining sliver. I move a lot when I sleep!
-I have to have a glass of water by my bed when I go to sleep, I usually don't drink any of it.

Four Favorite TV Shows:
Survivor

Learning English is hard...but very funny!!!!

Micah loves to build huge lego cars and drive them around the island in the kitchen. Inevitably they crash and break into a bunch of peices. When it happens he started saying, "I know!" This went on for about a week. I could never figure out why he was saing, "I know!" Then one day we were driving down our street, it had just rained so I was driving through the puddles. When the water splashed on the car Micah would say, "I know!" It finally hit me, he was trying to say "oh-no!" So I asked, "Are you saying oh-no?" He smiles and says, "yeah, oh-no." We all laughed!

Hannah has been impressing us with her counting ability. It is to the point where I feel like I have the Count from Sesame Street with me at all times. She has just started counting past ten. To give you an example, today in the car I was smacking my gum (which my Mom hates, but now I'm the mom so I can do it as much as I want), Hannah was of course counting how many times I popped my gum. Hannah: "....nine, ten, elephant, twelve." Kurt and I were laughing so hard. Me: "Hannah it's not elephant it's eleven." Hannah: "elephant, twelve." Me: " no eleven." Hannah :"eleven" Me: "good job." It still sounds a little bit like she's saying elephant.

I've realized there are a lot of English words that sound very similiar. Our poor kids, having to learn such a hard second language. :( At least it's entertaining for us.

Micah and Hannah's First Halloween

It didn't take long for Micah and Hannah to figure out that Halloween meant candy! They had a great Halloween. We went over to our friends' house, Melanie and Lamont. The kids got to hand out candy with Megan and Maddox, then we all went trick or treating. My absolute favorite picture is of Hannah with the Jason mask on while in her Tinkerbell costume. Hannah loved getting her glitter make up on, where as Micah hated the mustache I drew on him and asked me to take it off. Oh well, Captain Hook shaved that day. :) Micah also went on his first field trip to the pumpkin patch. He had a so much fun playing with all his buddies.
