Potpourri

Here's a mix of things.

Afternoon painting, Piper's been bugging me for days to paint and I finally brought them out. Reagan's showing me her dirty hands, she does not like them dirty at all.

Piper's a pro, her picture was really pretty

Here they are actually sitting together nicely - whoa!

My WONDERFUL Brother! These pictures are backwards but my awesome brother and Ryan came over on election day to tear apart my bathroom and by the time they left it looked like this above. This lower bathroom hasn't had a toilet or sink or walls for that matter since I was pregnant with Reagan - so 2 years now. The walls are ready for me to finish taping and mudding them, I haven't gotten past the first coat yet and the stupid toilet is making me so angry. I have purchased 2 or 3 different plugs for the tank and I can't get one to fit. The thing is so darn old I think I'm going to have to replace it. If you need something done, call Bill (612) 221-6984. Did I mention he's awesome!

And finally - warning, here is the screaming and fighting between the girls, I know Grandma and Grandpa's, they never do this. With Reagan getting 4 molars in at once and having a cold, she is not a happy camper and Piper doesn't even try to make it easier. I've had a rough week, I can't wait until things settle down a bit. Arggg!

Christmas wishes

Piper went through the big Target toy ad and circled items she wants for Christmas. Then we went through it together and she told me what she wanted, what she wanted for Reagan and a few things were for Mom and Dad. Here she's explaining with great detail to Jason. Notice how she points with her pen, what a little manager she is. Another cool thing about this ad is on the bottom left corner of page 14 is Konner posing with a puppet. Konner is my friend Geof's middle child and a classmate of Piper's. We didn't even recognize him until Geof pointed it out and even then Piper didn't believe it was him.

Oh, the screaming in the background is Reagan, that is what she does now, all day long. Yep, all day long, when she's happy, when she's mad, when she is bored, you name it. It's just about the most horrible noise in the world. I'll post another video representing my life for the past week or so. It's lovely!

Oh Minnesota!

Only here! Well I know not only here but our crazy weather is at it again, we all knew it was coming but I thought it was going to be traces of snow, not a complete dusting. The girls were excited when I opened the shades and told them to look outside. Piper is ready to go play and Reagan is wondering what the heck all that white stuff is. Piper told Jason that his work was closed and they needed to build a snowman today. I don't know where she got that his work would be closed but she was pretty disappointed when he told her no it wasn't. We were in sandals on Monday and Tuesday and now I have to purchase Piper some boots so she can go outside and explore.

Trick or Treat

Halloween! We got the girls dressed, visited Great Grandma Marilyn and then trick or treated down our street (the girls are still so little they don't realize we could do blocks and blocks), and then surprised Grandma and Grandpa Kocina for a little while. They had fun, Piper remembered her manners for the most part and Reagan figured it out pretty well, she waited and then held out her bag and then ran away. So darn cute!
