Hurricane Mae

Mae has turned into quite the bundle of energy lately. She's into EVERYTHING. I've nicknamed her Hurricane Mae because she leaves a path of destruction wherever she goes. Trash cans, clothes, dishes, food, it all gets pulled out and tossed on the floor. It's driving me CRAZY! She's also started walking. Here's a little video:



In serious hurricane related issues though, I just want the Fontano's (Bud's sister and family) to know we are praying for you and hope that things return back to normal soon. They are in Houston and Ike passed right over them last week. They are still without power and it could take 2 weeks or more to get it turned back on. We love you guys!

Happy Birthday Bud!


Today is Bud's b-day. 33! Sorry for the stereotypical, "my husband's the best" post, but he's as great as he seems and I'm so grateful that this man is mine! He's a fantastic dad (evident by the homecoming he receives EVERY day after work) and takes such good care of all of us. I'm so glad I get to be with him for the next 33+ years! Happy Birthday hon!

Random

Nothing too exciting going on lately, just getting into the new routine. Here's how we're passing the time lately:
Easiest and messiest dinner

Halloween preview











Oh no! Here we go again with the toilet obsession

Elle a year and half ago











Playing in the rain












The boys are addicted to their new Webkinz (I don't know where they get that from)









Oh, and just a small shout-out to my good ol' pleather chair that we threw out a couple weeks ago. I bought this chair right before the twins were born. It nicely sat me and my two babies. However, after a few moves and four kids and a roll or two of brown duct tape, we decided it was time to say goodbye. Bud couldn't believe I took a picture of it in the trash pile, but I had to. I don't have any digitals dating back to when the twins were babies, but I found one of them on it in LA. We're just using some of Carol and Will's recliners in its place for now. Just yesterday all the kids were on top of me in one of them and we all fell backward. I couldn't help but think, "That wouldn't have happened in MY chair." Jonah said we should probably just have one person on at a time.
