more photoshopping

Apparently I have nothing else better to do with my time.

School Time!

It is that time of year, everybody going back to school, which included Megan this year. She started Preschool last week and she really enjoys it. She didn't have any problems on the first day with us leaving her, I guess she is use to it, because she was use to getting dropped off at daycare. The other person going back to school is Alison, poor Alison had to go back to work. Actually she really is busy this year. She seems to be working on school stuff every night for the past three weeks and continues to work on it. She said, that is what happens when you don't do anything for a year or two. I haven't seen here this busy with school stuff for a long time. I know some of you are saying, "yah right, teachers work hard" (hey Uncle Ronnie), but it is true some do.

Nothing else is going on right now, but this weekend our neighbor is having his annual salmon bake. His dad commercially fishes salmon in Alaska for a couple of weeks a year in May/June. So he brings a bunch back and they (neighbor and his dad) grill it up. Should be fun. Sunday, we are still deciding if we want to go on a date to the Packer/Lion game in Detroit. Currently they have about 4,000 tickets left, if they are not sold out by Friday, then there will be a black out on TV and no one gets to see the game, except for the people going. Should be a good game to go to, if you are a Packer fan, oh wait we are packer fans.

I finally figured out how to use photoshop.

Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner

Well, Megan was the big winner at the Detroit Tiger game today. They had a drawing to give away 4 Little Tikes Hummers and Megan was lucky enough to win one of them. She and Mike got to go on the field bewteen the 5th and 6th to accept the prize. The bad part is that we have to go back down to D-Town to pick it up as we drove my dad's car to the game.



We had a fun time at the game and was very thankful that our seats were in the shade.

New Do's

Last night Megan got her "Back-to-School" haircut and the twins got their "First Haircut". The twins just got a little trim so it isn't quite so shaggy in the back. They both sat surprisingly well, the longest they sat sit for a long time.

Lazy Hazy Days of Summer

Self Feeding

Today I guess I was feeling a little daring. I decided to let the twins feed themselves their mac and cheese. Well, it was not read successful. I am quite sure that Megan was feeding herself at this time but I think part of the problem is that there is two of them. It seems a lot easier and quicker (when you take into account clean up time) to just feed their food to them. But, on the other hand, they do have to learn at some point to feed themselves. They started out with spoons but they were not making any into their mouths so I took their spoons away (they were not happy). They were doing so-so with their hands but were getting quite messy. At this point, they refused any assistance from Mike or myself. They finally finished eating, but did not eat nearly as much as usual. Enjoy the pictures, I missed taking one of Annalyse putting the bowl on top of her head (requiring her hair to be washed in the kitchen sink).

Painting Pottery

On Tuesday, Megan and I took Cristy out to lunch for her 30th birthday and then went to the Painted Pot afterwards. The Painted Pot is a pottery shop where you pick out a piece of your choice and then paint it. They fire it in the kiln and it is ready a week later. Megan painted a little princess jar to put her jewerly in. She did a pretty good job, I can't wait to see it when we get it back.
