Pictures of the kids!

Well, I finally did it. I got professional pictures of the kids. It was not easy but definitely worth it. I decided to do it for Jackson's father's day present. It was hard to get Orion to sit long enough to get a good shot but Persephone was perfect. We could have gotten hundreds of her. It was fun in the end and totally worth it. I will have these forever and will be able to remember them this way. Here are my two adorable munchkins.

(For those of you waiting for photo's these are not all the ones I have. Some are just on the CD. So, I hope you like these and I will get them out to you as soon as possible.)

The Kids

I finally, after months of trying, got a picture of the kids together. Now I know that Orion doesn't look that great but I am just so proud of the fact that I finally got them to stand together long enough to snap a shot. I just had to put it up here. The rest are just for fun. Enjoy!

Our little Darlings

I though it would be nice for the family to post some pictures of Persephone and Orion together since I haven't had any good ones. So these are my little darlings. We love them so much.

Wednesday

Well, on Wednesday this week. I was trying to get the kids to play in their room by themselves. I was really exhausted and fell asleep on the couch (not for very long). At about 4:10 pm I decidedto go and get them ready to go get Jackson from work. This is what I found. It looked like a wet wipe bomb had gone off in their room. If you look over in the entrance to the closet you can see about a whole bags worth. It took me about an hour and fifteen minutes to clean it all up. I was late to get Jackson and he thought the whole thing was hilarious. I was not laughing at all. So, now things have been moved and put in a better place. No more wet wipe bombs for this mom.

Gingerbread house's at playgroup

This week we got to make gingerbread houses at playgroup or should I say that "I" did. Persephone was more interested in playing with toys (and eating the candy). In the end we had a good time and we got to bring home a little house. (Our house is on the far right in the picture.)

Playgroup at Vineyard Pumpkin Patch

We finally went to the pumpkin patch. It was so much fun. We got to see animals and play on the slides. After that was over Persephone's sock's were black! Yuck! Then we walked through the corn maze. All in all it was a great experience. At the end we got a pumpkin to take home and carve for Halloween. So fun!

Talking for the Camera

I just couldn't resist catching Persephone and Orion talking on the camera. Orion has really become a chatter bug. I just love when he really gets going for what seems forever. I love that they are both growing in so many ways.

Playgroup at Discovery Park

Today we went to a playgroup a Discovery Park. It was a little windy but the kids didn't seem to mind. Persephone really loves this park. There are so many places to run around and things to do. I had a bit of a hard time because I had to carry Orion and it is so hard to keep up with her. When we got home the kids were so worn out that they both slept for two hours.

Playgroup at the Bean Life Science Musuem!

We had a great time finally getting out of the house this week. We went to a playgroup and it was so fun. Persephone was so excited that she couldn't even stay in one place. She wanted to look at all of the animals but when we found the playroom she wanted to stay there and play with the kids. A lady read stories and then she brought out a big Iguana for the kids to see. Persephone went up and pet it and tried to pull on its spiky things and the lady told her to be careful. I thought for sure it was going to bite her but she was done with that and went back to play with the toys. It was a great day, even Orion had a lot of fun. We then finished the afternoon off by having lunch with daddy. She was so worn out that she took a great nap. I was so happy.

Watching Abby

Well, Persephone was so excited to have Abby come to play with her at our house but Abby was not to happy. She was sad that her mom was gone. Persephone kept trying to get her to play but she was just sad. I was able to take a few pictures of them playing for a few minutes. Persephone as so disappointed that they didn't get to play more. In the end we learned from the experience.

Enjoying the shower

Here they are enjoying their bedtime shower. This is the first time that Orion has been able to sit in the water and he really seems to enjoy it. Persephone was great she didn't attack him and tried to play nice the whole time. Before you know it they will be taking baths together.

Playgroup at Flour Girls & Dough Boys Bakery

Today we went to our playgroup only to find that we were a half hour later. Sad! But we had fun. When I was first told about going there the lady said that there was a kitchen for the kids to make food in. Well, I thought that they got to really make food. Imagine my surprise when I realized that it was just a play kitchen. That's OK, Persephone loved it and she loved to play with the kids. She has a friend that really likes to play with her. His name is Alex and every time that we go to a playgroup he only wants to play with her! Cute!!! I love that she gets to have lots of fun. So we will keep going.
