Since this is my first official entry and it's all new and exciting, I'll try not to get carried away with detail. I've included pictures so everyone can see the kids and how precious they are. The first few are just "day in the life" kind of things. Here's Drew, the grown up, all ready for school. She's done great this year, and I really like her teacher. She's reading now, which just makes her seem that much older. She's the queen of drama, so she always has some big event to talk about when she gets in the car every day. This picture of Evan is supposed to be showing off his black eye. He's the roughest of all my kids, but he seems to come out with the least wounds. I have pictures of Drew and Alli with these awful black eyes just from being their wild selves, but this is the worst Evan's ever got. And, here's Alli with her baby. Anybody who says we make boys like cars and girls like babies is crazy. Alli loves her baby doll, and Evan couldn't care less, unless of course he can get a rise out of Alli by taking it from her. The rest of the pictures are of Halloween, obviously. Drew was Cinderella, Evan was Frankenstein, and Alli was a witch. They were all so funny. Alli and Evan thought they were so scary. When we went trick-or-treating, we couldn't get Alli off the porches. She'd stand forever and have conversations with people. Then when we'd finally leave, she'd have to stop and point out every detail of the flower beds and yard decorations. Andy hitched the wagon to the back of our 4-wheeler and we drove around the neighborhood. It was so much better than walking up and down all the big hills. We accomplished a lot more, too. The kids ate candy until they got sick. In fact, Alli woke up with a stomach virus the next morning. We thought maybe she just overdid it with the candy, but then it continued through the night, and then Evan had it the next day. So far the rest of us have seemed to dodge that one, thank goodness. I don't have time to be sick!
