Christmas Gift Ideas

OK so I thought I would post a few gift ideas as our kids have a lot of stuff and don't really need too many new toys or clothes. Here are a few ideas about what Lucian and Mikhail would like this Christmas season.

Tonka - Bounce Back Racer
for Lucian

Do not buy The Hot Wheels car carrier!!!!!! I have since heard that it really isn't a strong case and Lucian would probably have it destroyed with in an hour. So please don't buy the Hot Wheels car carrier!!!!!!!

A toy storage bin.

Ride on car for Mikhail.

V.Smile games. Either these ones or the baby V.Smile games for Mikhail with receipt seeing as we already have a few but could trade them out for one we don't have if anyone bought a double.

Alrighty, so there are some ideas.

Hope this helps everyone out.

Strollers

I am actively trying to find the best double stroller possible! You may think this is easy work but it just hasn't been. I need it to be a really great stroller as we plan for it to go through 3 children and be use quite often. Here is one I found that I really like and it seems it would be great although it doesn't tell me what the weight limits are on the seats. I really really love that the seats can be positioned to face each other or the same direction!

This is another I found as an option, The thing I like about this one is that it has a cup holder for me although a cup holder is just a cup holder. I also like that it comes in black and silver. LOL as if that is really important in the end.

PS. so help me decide peoples!!!! Which one???

5 blogs 1 day!!

YAY me!!!
Now I would say that is some excellent blogging work on my part. I can't believe I got another month done in a day. Now all I have to do is find some time later this week or next to get to all of October happenings. We just finished up all the Halloween stuff, cleaned up the last of it today. So sad!! I wish it could have lasted longer. It is my most favorite time of the year.

Today is a day for finishing up and organizing. What with all the work that keeps piling up I think I am going to have to start scheduling days in order to get everything done before the little one arrives. As for finding out what the sex happens to be of our little one well they just wouldn't tell us that. You may have noticed that our voters poll is still open and will be for the next 41 days. That is when we will know if the boys are welcoming a little sister or another little brother. What do you think?

Well people, until next time.
Sending lots of love!!!!

PS. we did get pictures of our ultrasound and if I can ever find them again I will be sure to post a few, if not in 41 days we will be getting a whack load of ultrasound pictures and those ones will be well worth the wait.

and to bring a close to September.

Mikhail moved into a big boy bed!!!! YAY, he absolutly loves it.

Lucian started his Gymnastics and he totally loves going. Brandon and I were doing a one week I take him one week daddy takes him plan at the beginning but when we do that he just knows he can mess around with us because we have know idea what he should be learning from the week before. So seeing as Brandon isn't around much we have turned him Gymnastics into Daddy and Lucian time!! They both love it.

Emma, Declan, Jess & DJ stopped by for a visit.

and this closes up September. As the months go by I get closer and closer to the month I should actually be posting for. LOL I am assuming that just before the baby arrives I will be right back on schedule, just to be bounced off it again with the new little beans arrival.

September visit to Baba's

Mikhail likes to watch TV.

Lucian likes to read.

For the first section we let the boys lead. LOL

Not the greatest of ideas but they had a blast doing it.

and then the storm rolled in.

oddly enough it was timed perfectly.

We had just enough time to eat cake and run.

Mikhail loves cake.

And so began our September, what a wonderful way to start out.
