Friends

One of the things I really struggled with when I quit my job to do daycare was ,what am I doing to my own kids? Will it change who they are? Will it make them not as close as siblings? Will they become those children that can't entertain themselves? And mostly how do I chose daycare kids that fit in with my own kids personalities and become lifelong friends? I should have known that God had it all worked out and I wasn't going to chose them, they would choose me. I was looking at some old photos today and saw how the kids interact with each other. I was so worried that they wouldn't have the perfect childhood as I did that I failed to see that they do. How many of us have photos of all our bestfriends since before we could talk? Most of the kids have been together since they where one! Anyways here are some of my favorites.

Trip to Spokane

In Sept. the kids and I went to see Uncle Mike and Auntie Katie in Spokane. The weather was great and we did alot in a short amount of time. We went down to the water front to fed the birds and went down the gigantic red wagon slide. We did a little shopping, much to Zacks dismay! Then we went to an orchard and picked apples and fall raspberries. The kids had a blast and I got to spend a little time with my brother, who although I am very proud of his dedication to school, I miss alot. We also had a chance to spend some quality time with Katie, although next time I think I might pick out the board game! :) We played a game made by Cranium that was fun I will have to admit ,but I spent the entire time singing 99 bottles of beer on the wall!
