Wordless Wednesday

I'm sooooo tired today.  Marin and Shannon were up coughing for two and a half hours last night.  I managed to cuddle Marin back to sleep, but Shannon was having nothing to do with that.  She finally fell asleep after I yelled:  Shannon stop coughing NOW!!! Surprisingly enough - she didn't cough after that!

So en lieu of  anecdotes, and stories,  here are some recent pics:

Marin somehow wedged herself in between all the toys:

Mac & Brigitte have been staying with us while their new house is being built, and the kids have been having an absolute blast hanging out with them:

It's that time of year; the time when the kids peruse the Wal Mart toy catalogue to start making their lists for Santa:

Marin poked her head up while the boys were building with Lego:

Mmmm.... homemade smoothie!

I took Shannon skating - her first time on real skates, not bob-cats. She did AWESOME!!

Aidan has taken to pilfering my camera and taking self-portraits and videos:

And finally, last night was 'officially' inducted into his beaver colony, too stinkin' cute!
