Mommy's getaway!

I was able to attend my 1st scrapbook retreat with a bunch of fabulous ladies at a cabin outside of Detroit Lakes called Pens and Needles.  It truly was the best little getaway a gal could ask for.  I was able to enjoy fabulous food without having to do all the cooking/cleaning, get a massage, sit in a hot tub, visit  without the interruption of my kiddos, and feel like I actually got something accomplished (34 digital pages completed - Yeah!!)  I can hardly wait to go next year.  Thanks to all the ladies in the picture above for such a memorable and fun time!

Yup.......something exciting happened while I was gone for the weekend.  Kage got into the Vaseline and covered the mirror and himself in it!  Thank goodness Kam was able to capture the moment so that I can scrapbook this picture soon! 

By the way....some of you might be wondering why an almost 2 year old is still sucking on a pacifier!  I really do have good intentions to take it away soon.

Labor Day Weekend

Kasen asked me if he could "fix" the computer keyboard? They get to fix real appliances at daycare, and I finally caved and found something he could destroy!
I think Kage is going to be a "lefty", just like his Grandpa Larry. He is holding his screwdriver in his left hand and always throws and eats with his left hand. I guess we will have to wait and see if my prediction is accurate.

Krew spent the morning coloring while the other two "fixed" the computer. I think he spent 30 minutes coloring without a fuss. I couldn't believe that I was able to do laundry and unload the dishwasher without any interruptions!

Just chillin....and waiting for the fire to get started.

This was our big purchase of the summer. We still find ourselves going to the school park and resevoir park just as often. So....not sure it was needed.

Kasen kept asking if we could get the "poker stick" out so that he could roast a hotdog.

August pics!

Kasen convinced uncle Bryan to get in bathtub at the lake cabin. He even helped wash the boys

hair.

We have the BEST neighbors ever. This is our neighbor girl Jess and she has helped babysit this summer and the boys just adore her.

The annual Muscha family reunion at the lakes. Karoake Fun! The kids had a blast singing anything from the ABC song by the Jackson family to Fishin in the Dark to Jesus Loves me.

We actually took this picture before we went out to Looney Days in Vergas, MN for the night. Tim Mahoney was the band playing. We enjoyed the company of my brothers and their girlfriends, my friend Amy, and my Aunt Terri.

The boys getting ready for bed. Kasen likes to hang out with the boys before going to his room for the night. It usually turns into a tickle/wrestling match within 5 minutes and someone usually starts crying and then it is time for bed!!
