Who got into the markers?

Guess who got into the markers while mommy was vacuuming upstairs? You got it! Carter had it all over his face. I was laughing so hard, until I found out Sydney got out the glue and spread it all over the kitchen table! What a mess...I kindly explained...we only do crafts with mommy, not by ourselves. I hope they got it!
Our day was pretty laid back, just hanging out at home, cleaning and making dinner!
Talk to you all later...

Pictures of Last week

Here are some pictures of the fun we had last night up in Brainerd...We got, Alli being a beach bum and Mark w/the kids roasting marshmallows...my favorite!

Funny Story!

I have a funny story about Alli, while we were up in Brainerd last week.
She has a weird poop schedule, usually every 5 days, and I think it is due to her large colon.
Anyways,
We were out for lunch at Rafferty's pizza in town and I could tell Alli started pooping...well, she kept going, and going, and going...so much that she had it squirting out of the side of her diaper. It looked like a volcano, pushing and pushing out. (I was holding her, while she was going, and Mark had just left to get a soft drink refill) While it was spilling out the side, I had it fall on the coloring papers you get at the restaurant. I rushed her to the bathroom, trying to contain my composure.
It was cleaned up in 5 minutes...but it was the funniest thing we have seen in a while!

Last week!

Well, it's been a while since I have posted on my blog. We have been out-of-town!
Monday & Tuesday the kids and I headed up to Detroit Lakes, MN to visit my grandparents and aunt and uncles up there...the car ride was SO LONG! We were relieved when we were able to get out and run! Melanie met up with us in Little Falls, so she was able to spend 2 days with us.
The kids played with my cousins (weird I know), they had so much fun! We went to see my cousins in the BMX races. It was so neat to see these little kids race bikes. They even had a girl and a boy who were 3 years old racing!
Wednesday we headed back to Brainerd and spent through Sunday at Mark's grandma's cabin. It was a rough ride there...Alli cried, I had to pull over a couple of times. I think the kids were sick of riding in the car.
Thursday we hung out at the lake, the kids loved getting rides in the paddle boat, playing in the sand...and chasing Mark around. We stopped and hung out at the Crow Wing county fair for the evening.
Friday we trucked into Pequot Lakes and hung out at crafters market, gander mt and the park.
Saturday we played at the lake in the morning and Grandma and Grandpa Krekelberg joined us for the weekend at the cabin.
Sunday we went into Pequot Lakes for the craft sale, ate lunch with Grandma/pa, and headed back to the cabin for a nap. We had to head back to "reality" in the evening, it was a long car ride again....but we made it back.
Today was recovery day for us all! Catching up on household duties.
Tomorrow we are starting to watch Haylee, so we will let you know how that goes (part time, temp job for me) PTL
