Family Fun

Sorry its been a while since I posted. We have been really busy. The beginning of November I ended up with croup. That was a lot of fun. It took about a week to get rid of. The steroids they put me on kept me up all night. Thankfully the kids didn't get it.

Jeff and I celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary on the 10th. We were planning to go to a red wine festival that was at one of our local wineries. Our sitter unfortunately got a stomach bug so we had to cancel our plans. Jeff and I were really looking forward to a day with out the girls. So instead we ended up taking the girls to the Seattle Children's Museum. We had a lot of fun. There was a 3 and under area and Keira was sad she couldn't go in with sister. They also had a MR. Potato head exhibit. The girls loved being able to make different potato heads over and over again. Next we went to the little grocery store where they had the kid sized carts and low shelves where the girls could shop like mommy and daddy. Paijey really liked that. Next Keira and daddy went to the hardware store and built a few things while Paije went to the taco stand and made tacos for people. It was really fun. They had a volcano in the middle that you had to "hike" up and under all the rocks there were exhibits of animals. We also let the girls go on a few rides they had at the Seattle center.

Since Jeff had a 4 day weekend we went to Leavenworth WA. Its a cute little town about 2 hours away over the pass. We drove to the top of Steven's pass and there was snow on the ground.. Keira wanted to play in it but we weren't prepared for snow. Lucky for us on the other side of the mountain there was no snow so we didn't have to worry about Keira asking. We did some wine tasting and played at the park. Keira and Paije tried to catch the leaves and they were falling. It was a fun day. we are going to rent a cabin here for a weekend when there is snow.

Keira and Paije got colds this week. Lots of snot everywhere. At least there is no fever. Keira did developed a cough though. The poor thing is on cough meds around the clock to help her out. Jeff will be the next one to get it.

Jeff was in a minor car accident. He rear ended someone. No one was hurt and the other persons car was fine. Jeff's car unfortunately wasn't. It was too expensive for the insurance company to fix. It was a Volvo and the parts and the airbag were just too much i guess. So they totaled the car and paid us out for it. So now Jeff is the proud owner of a 2004 Jeep grand Cherokee. Its really nice.

We are headed to Grace's 4th birthday party today. Keira is very excited. She picked out Gracie's present all by her self. She was asking if she could help Grace blow out the candles on the cake. we told her no but next week at Paije's party she could help Paije.

I will upload the pictures later when the uploader is working.
