3rd Day of School

I was a little too emotional to take a first or even a second day picture of us going to school, but by day 3 I was a little better. Here are my munchkins on their 3rd day headed to school.

Hudson's side of the car...

Hadley's side of the car. :)

P.S. I'm going to start playing the lottery in hopes that I'll win lots of money and be able to stay home with my babies and not have to drive them to daycare. :)

Okay... so I know I say it every time I blog, but life is crazy! We have been all over the place, chasing our growing babies, working our tails off, trying to keep up with our house work, the kids have started daycare (boo hoo!), we just got a new car yesterday, Hunter's trying to get a second job on his off days, my family has been here to visit, mom and dad came and helped clean the garage (yuck), the craziness of elementary school and Halloween has come and gone and in the midst of all of this craziness Hudson decided to start growing a full head of hair that needs "real" haircuts and Hadley has decided to walk at just 10 months. Life is great! Here are just a few pictures from our pumpkin patch of adventure.

Hudson and Grandma Kathy picking out "bebe" pumpkins.

Hudson a.k.a Muscle Man

Hadley when she was just starting to stand. Little did we know... she would start walking within the next 2 weeks.

Hadley and mommy checking out the pumpkins.

So this is what most pictures of Hadley and Hudson look like. It was too funny not to share our many attempts at a cute pumpkin patch picture. These are all so cute, but maybe next year we'll get at least one with both kids looking at the camera. :)

"Addy what's that?"

"I don't know, but I think I'll thump you in the head Hud."

"Stop Haddy!"

"Ha ha! I may be little, but I just won that battle."

"Sibling abuse! Did you get that on camera, mom?"

"Hey! Where's Addy?"

Here was the one cute picture of the kids somewhat looking at the camera. I'm working on photo shopping our heads over the aunts so it will look like a family picture with mommy and daddy. :)

Hadley and Aunt Kapra (or Tap as Hudson calls her) :)

Kapra bought the kids these cute Mr. Potato Head pieces that you put into the pumpkin so you don't have to carve it. Love it! It was perfect for the kids.

Hudson with his pirate pumpkin and Hadley's princess pumpkin.

The best part of the day was this picture of Hunter. I made him try on my first tutu I made for Hadley to see what it looked like. Thanks babe! You look gorgeous!

Happy Belated Halloween! KS

HELP!

So once again our childcare has fallen through. :(

I swear, every semester that I have gone back to school since having the kids something has happened and our sitters have backed out. Our family and close friends know how hard it has been for us to find good, dependable childcare. We have had lots of family and some really great friends jump in to help us out. Thank you to all of you that have helped us it the past we REALLY appreciate you.

We're searching again for someone who is great with kids, extremely dependable and reliable, is willing to watch our kids at our house or theirs, would be interested in watching the kids about 2 days a week and who lives in our area.

We would switch to daycare or in-home care in a heartbeat because it is so dependable, but at this point in the school year it is so hard to find 2 spots at one place. Plus our school district decided to switch our starting time this year to 7:00 am. Bad news for anyone who has little ones because most daycares don't open until 7:00. On top of all of that, has anyone checked out the daycare prices? For 2 little ones it's over $300 a week.

$300 a week would have been no problem. Hunter was offered a second job this summer which would have been a great boost to our income, but I told him "No, we've already made a commitment to our sitter. We need to honor our commitment." Silly me! I'm eating my words now.

So we're looking for a babysitter or a great daycare (and a second job for Hunter). :) Let me know if any of you know anyone that might be interested or if you have any great references. Thanks! K

Our First Family Picnic

I'm not the most spontaneous person, but on Labor Day I felt like going on a picnic. We loaded the kids up and headed to the park. After a brief meltdown (by Hudson that ended up putting Hadley to sleep) we had a great lunch and lots of fun. It was a windy day so keeping the lunch on our picnic table was a challenge in itself. Hudson has to bring his bat, ball, and tee every where we go. So he and daddy played a little ball, we had lots of fun on the slide and swings and then we called it a day.

I love this picture!

Hadley was relaxing... I'm so jealous.

Hudson's face says it all. :)

That was Hunter's look after Hud hit the ball. That's his look of... "Did you see where he hit that ball? This kid is going to be a pro." He gives me that look quite often. Hudson loves baseball and we can barely get him to do anything else.

Hud on the slide.

The boys were playing so Had and I had to take our own picture.

"Wheeee!"

Just hanging out. I need a couple swings in our house. Maybe I could get some stuff done - they would be having fun and unable to get into everything. :)

What a good big brother!

We do everything together. :)

Haddy loved the swings!

First Razorback Tailgate

My grandparents were visiting my mom and dad last weekend. They decided to load up and come see my sisters, me and of course the babies. Hunter was on duty so I loaded the kids up and met up with my family to tailgate. Uncle Scott and Aunt Carol have a great tailgating spot. We love to meet up with them any chance we get. I didn't dare take the kids to the game... not yet, but we dressed up to cheer on those HOGS.
