Well now that October is almost done, I think that we are in the swing of things. The kids are in school full time now. Swimming is going really well. Nathan swims like a fish lol.
I find myself wanting to nap or eat or watch tv. I have to find other things to do with our time. Nathan needs to be around other kids, I need to do things. Dustin likes to say things like " well you're home all day", "well it's not like you have alot to do" while both statments are true that doesn't mean I need to be active all day lol.
I have finished all the halloween costumes! Yeah! it took me so long to finish Nathan's; his had alot more work to put into it. All the kids are a theme this year. I know it sounds corney but I think it's kinda fun. They are the Super Mario Brothers and friends. Faith is Mario cause she LOVES him and red is now her favorite color. Clayton is Luigi, I think it's mostly to do with Faith not allowing him to be Mario lol. Plus it's the only other boy. Payton is Princess Peach, although her dress is off white, but she doesn't care. Beta can't guess who Nathan is??? Bowser, although Bowser wasn't called Bowser until later verisions of the game. But it's the only name the kids know him by. If you ask Nathan he will say monster bowser mario.
So now all I have to do is make about 4 patches of cookies and we're good to go.

Swimming
So none of the kids wanted to do anything this year. They didn't want gymnastics classes, ballet, soccer, nothing. So I put them in swimming. Normally we do it during the summer for two weeks straight. But this summer we were actually busy! I know I was surprised too LOL.
Nathan and I have to go together, just because he's to little to swim on his own. He loves jumping in the pool. I told him Nathan you have to close your mouth. He'd shut his eyes really tight open his mouth and laugh hysterically. Then he'd leap off the side and I dunk him under he'd come up coughing but wanting to do it again. So away we go. It's too funny you can tell who are first time moms. They carefully put their baby in the water and move around slowly.
Payton and Clayton are in the same class. They had a good time. Although I HATE it when there are toys all around the pool. They get distracted and want to play. All they do is talk and talk and talk to their instructor. Good thing there are only 4 kids in the class. But they said they had fun and Payton keeps asking when she can go back.
Faith is in class all by herself and I don't have to bring anyone else with me. She likes swimming and I think once she can "swim" she'll love the water as much as I do. She keeps saying though that she needs googles. But I asked her to try without them, she seemed to do fine. She hates rinsing off. Next week we will see if everyone still likes it.

Birthdays
Well my babies turned 5 yesterday. Wow has it been that long since I've felt them moving around and kicking each other?
At school they get to be the chef for the day. I'm glad I put them in separate classes, they can both enjoy being in charge without fighting with the other one. Each kid in their class made them their own cards. They got to make crowns for them to wear.
I made cupcakes for everyone and while not everyone eat one the twins still enjoyed sharing them. They are so cute! We had a late supper and ate almost all of the cake. It was a fish bowl and they seemed to really like it. Faith had a hard time NOT being the center of attention. She was demanding this and that and the other thing. Every irratating.
They now want to go to build-a-bear and get their very own bears. They both got lego. Payton got pink lego so I think that went over really well with her. They both got a maze and tracing book. I think Clayton will be the one to do most of those lol.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABIES!
