Fun Moments

The other day, the kids watched a show about a halloween party. After it was over they told me "We are going to Halloween." I was working on something and said, "Oh, ok." A few minutes later they brought me some costumes that they wanted me to help them put on. I about laughed my head off and after helping them get them dressed I had to take a few pictures. Caitlyn would not give me a real smile unfortunately, but still, this is Caitlyn to a tee. And yes, Bryant chose the outfit on his own don't ask me why.

PS, the guitars are really "pumpkins" that he is taking to the party.

Another fun moment: reading with dad when he Finally gets home from school! The kids sure miss having him home so much. -So do I for that matter :) But it is really not too bad- he can be home around 6:30... so far.

Disneyland!

Well, we are working on a fun highlight video of Disneyland! The video is a third finished, and we are really working on it. It was such a fun trip! -Crazy, but fun!

The kids had a great time, and often talk about different parts of it. They sing "Small world" all the time, yet both insist that the train ride was their favorite:) The kids loved seeing the characters- although they were pretty nervous at how big they were at first. We also did not see TONS of characters because we would rather stand in line for rides. Every time we got off a ride the kids would ask if we could go on another one. We had lots of fun with Mark and Kirsten and of course Jaron and Calder:) Sharing one hotel room was... crazy, but fun and cheaper :) Poor Mark and Kirsten got to see our true colors when we are all tired and kids are not sleeping. (I decided then and there that I love my crib tents so much that I think I will make the kids stay in their cribs until they are five). Nevertheless, we had so much fun- and I know I keep saying that, but we did!

But back to real life- the end of the world as we know it ...let's hope we feel fine!
The day we got back we started a TON of new things:

• Potty Training- after two days we decided that Bryant is NOT ready. I think one at a time will be easier anyway.
• P90x!!! We have successfully finished one week. We have modified the food plan- it is much more like Body for Life than P90X, but still... go us!!
• Adam had orientations for school
• Catherine started canning (salsa, pizza sauce, green beans- and more will follow- peaches, applesauce etc.)
• Adam Started Classes!!!!

Upstate New York Highlights

I thought some of you would like to see some Perkins Family New York memories as they looked in June 2009. Video contents: Obscure sites at the Hill Cumorah Pageant; my home in Fairport, New York; the path that leads to Dudley/Northside Elementary School.
