Ok. I'm sure you are wondering where I am. Well, I'm around - tip toeing around. This child of mine has to be with me.. if he sees or hears me (even if he is perfectly content) he will come to me. So, if he is quiet I let him be. Sometimes this is what I find him doing...
Apparranetly he can open a spaghetti package. 
He loves attention. And will smile all day as long as someone is talking to him :)
He LOVES LOVES LOVES the shower. 
Hi Mommy. I'm waiting for you. Come get me please. 
He did a great job on the turkey. 
Taken by Miss Paige. 5 families gathered.. it was a great day!
Scotty, on the left, is trying to show Riis and Blake how to play the Nintendo DS. How sad that it was my kids first time. We so are not a video game family. 
Kids table. They were far away from us. It was a nice dinner... oh, and quiet too!
Jude and Andrea. I am going to miss seeing them together :(
I just turned Jude's seat around and he is SO HAPPY. After our Berlin and Prague trip he hated the carseat. This has made things so much better. Plus, he's 3 lbs above the weight limit and his poor legs were getting squished. I know I am going to hear about it but I just HAD to do it :)
His cubby. 
One of his favorite rooms to play in - the car, building blocks, castle room. 
Although he had many teachers, Kirstie is the one that took him under his wing. As much as I complained about his school he never once cried because he had to go and often was mad when we came to pick him. He said we were too early. He absolutely loved it.
Outside of his school. After being at this school for 1.5 years (minus 6 months in the states) he finally learned Danish. He can now hold a conversation, answer in Danish, and understands most of the "school" Danish. He has come a long way. I am so proud of him. 
Four of us ordered pizza, including me, and one of us ordered salad. My lack of functioning front teeth means I cannot bite a pizza, I knew I would have to cut it into a piece to get it into my mouth. We had mentioned this to the waitress when we ordered and she said, "No, cutting the pizza is not allowed." We explained my teeth situation... "big scary pogo-stick, concrete floor, ghetto wire holding teeth in place". The waitress was pretty adamant, "No, cutting the pizza is not allowed." We didn't think much of it, she left, we waited for our food.
Those eyes, those lips, those cheeks... I could eat him. 
He loved, loved the slide. 
Peek-a-Boo Mommy!!
This was on Friday morning.. trying to eat raisins. 
And, this was on Friday morning. He is into everything and will eat anything!
We had Paige's school friends over for snacks, movie time, games, and girl talk. 
Playing musical chairs - to none other than Hannah Montana
I made a poster with Paige's body on it. The girls had to pin the microphone below Paige's mouth. Most had never played this game so it was fun. 
Decorating cupcakes. They were Yummy!!
I'm 6!!
Aalborg and our Aarhus friends. 4 boys are missing otherwise there would have been 16 kids in total. It was a really fun evening. 
Paige's twin friends celebrated their 7th Birthday with her. If Paige's lip looks weird it's cause she fell and got a pretty good size fat lip. 
Opening presents. I love having a girl because each year it is a new thing - this year was Hannah Montana (duh!). Boy, did she get everything under the sun Hannah Montana. 
Happy Birthday Paige-e Poo. I love you stinker roo. 
Blake and Jude got this singing microphone for her. It sings "The Best of Both Worlds". I go to bed singing it. Ahhhhh!
My spiderman and AaB player vs. FCM player
Paige's school had their first ever Halloween Party. It was a lot of fun until my friend decided to fall off the pogo stick and had to go the ER. Check out her blog for her story: http://rabbitbearbug.blogspot.com/2009/11/halloween.html
Daddy and his Sweet P
Doing the cake walk. We did a lot of American games at the party. It was very successful. We even went trick or treating near our neighborhood (a week before my friend Tara and I passed out flyers and asked the neighbors to participate. It was a huge success). This was Paige's take on the evening "Blake, can I have some of your candy? I got Danish candy and I don't even like Danish candy." Blake and I went to a diff. party until we received the call that Tara needed to go to the ER and they needed help organizing the Trick or Treating. I was back and forth all night. It was a long day but super fun. 
Yummy food. I was in the kitchen all day Friday and Saturday. For both parties I made: cupcakes, rice krispies in the shape of moons and witches hats, mac n cheese, applesauce, brownies, and a fruit salad. I'm so glad Halloween is over because Paige's bday is up next and then Thanksgiving - my favorite holiday! Yummy turkey :)
The kids raked the leaves for almost an hour. They have been on the ground for the past month.. they entertained themselves for a whole hour. Why did we not do this before?
Jude wanted nothing to do with a photo. He wanted those leaves. He turned 10 months on Halloween and is giving me a run for my money these days. He is into EVERYTHING. (just to name a few: the toilet if the lid is not down, the trash, the books, the DVD's. Basically everything except his toys.) He will also put ANYTHING into his mouth. He is so far the exact opposite of Paige and Blake. But, he is still super happy always. 
This was the first time they had a real leaf fight. It was fun to watch. 
My almost 4.5 year old. He is too cute for words. 
Believe it or not, he loved when Paige threw the leaves on him. 
Sorry that the quality is not great. However, Blake is on an indoor soccer team and loves it. He is awesome to watch and runs the entire time. I'm so happy we found something. Soccer is going to be his game. Danny and I are sooooo excited!
He's actaully the youngest in his group but I think one of the best. He didn't score this week but he actually passed the ball to his teammate a few times. I mean good passes. What I love is that he trys really hard, he is understanding the game (as long as you remind him what goal to score on), and he is fun to watch. I'm already yelling at him. It's summer soccer all over again. Ahh!
Gosh, he's cute!
My friend Lindsey and Danny are going to Sadie Hawkins. Mean, they didn't even include me :)
