Today is brought to you by the letter "F"

Fantasy Football Draft!12 guys and their families came over to draft their teams. Paisley helped daddy--although they picked FAVRE. Ugh. I hate when he gets a Viking player! It was a really fun evening...



First day of day care for the year!! On Thursday, the kiddos headed to Londa's! I showered, put on makeup, got the kids ready, and was to Londa's by 8:05. I was proud. Day two, I made it there by 7:45. As we prepped for the first day, Paisley told me she didn't want to go to Londa's house because mommy, daddy, hudson and madden would stay home. That totally broke my heart! She was traumatized by the fact that we sent her to day care when the twins were born!! :( I assured her both Craig and I were going to work--and she apparently told Londa through out the day, "mommy and daddy ARE at work." Poor thing.


Londa said it went really well. Although I'm not sure if she'd ever tell us otherwise! The kids were happy and tuckered out when they got home.

Food! Here are the boys working on finger food! Most of it still ends up in the seat of their high chair, but we're getting there!


Fantastic Artist. Here is a picture Paisley drew, unprompted.


Fair! Some friends and I headed to the MN State fair last week. We ate lots of junk. Personally, I had cheese curds, deep fried pickles and ice cream. I was F-ull! We then went to see Carrie Underwood in concert. She was really good, and we had really good seats!!




(Melissa, Brook, Erin, Angie, Emily and Amy)

Family! On Saturday, Craig had a bachelor party to attend, so the kids and I made our first trip to Weyerhaeuser, where most of my family lives. It was so nice to see everyone!

First Hair Cut! I have been contemplating getting Paisley's hair cut for months now. It was just time to do it! Aunt Mary has been the one to cut my hair since I was P's age...so obviously, I wanted her to do Paisley's too. Paisley was seriously excited about it. She talked about it for days!! And when it was time to actually do it....she gave me the meanest look. She didn't cry. She didn't talk. She just starred at us all like we were ruining her life. (so basically, she looked just like her daddy. lol)













(Isn't she lovely? Her hair did turn out really nice, thanks mary! And now that it's over...she LOVES telling everyone about her brand new hair.)

Fun Facts!
* Constant giggles from the twins
* "Mom! Madden pulled my hair!"
* Madden on all 4's, moving backwards
* Hudson playing "so big"
* Paisley is either drawing or dancing
* "Mom! Hudson pulled my hair!"
* Madden pulling himself up....on Hudson. Then Hudson crying.
Hope you all enjoyed your holiday weekend!!
