5 Times a Week Fun






Averi has invented her own way of rating the fun factor of activities we do. As far as I can tell the scale is 0-7 as in 0 days a week and 7 days a week. So to explain the scale if you are having the most fun you have ever had it would 7 days of fun because you would have enough fun to fill up those 7 days, there for if you are not having fun at all then it is 0 days of fun. The way i found out about this scale was the other night we went to the corn maze with the Liechtys and Averi was loving it. She was running around trying to figure out what to do first. She played on the slides, and in the huge pit of corn, ran through the kid mazes, she bounced on the huge jumping pillow, and got terrified in the Creatures Belly, needless to say Averi told us repeatedly it was 5 times a week fun. I think that the reason why it wasn't a 7 was because she deducted a point each for getting scared in the creature and for getting "Lost" in the big maze. I put lost in quotes because we totally knew where we were going the whole time, J/k we pretty much just walked around aimlessly for 30 minutes and some how made it out alive. And all the while Averi kept saying "I warned you not to come in here". The night was so much fun, we are going to remember for some time. We all decided to make it a new Halloween tradition. Oh by the way if you are wondering where Sienna was the whole time she was tightly wrapped up in her sling staying warm and snoring pretty much the whole time. I'm sure she will start making more of an appearance when she gets old. But for now she is just a cute little passenger along for the ride.

Hold on a Minute

My life doesn't show signs of slowing, so before i lose touch completely I'm going to post some of the activities that we have been up to. I have a 4 year old now and that kinds freaks me out. For Averi's birthday we had a Scooby-Doo party(what other theme would we have done, really?). She is getting so big and she is a wonderful big sister. She loves to help,3 sometimes a little too much.
The girls and I went to my parents home in Durango. To say Averi loved it there would be an understatement. She has informed us that we are moving there as soon as we pack up our things. The only catch everyone else in her life has to move there also because she thinks where ever she is, is where everyone else needs to be. She just loves her family and friends so much she just can't stand to be away from any of them. The weather was beautiful and we got to be outside a lot. One day she informed my father that she hadn't ever gone a picnic before. Which by the way isn't the truth i have picnic-ed with her many times before.
Needless to say we have been busy but having plenty of fun in the process. I kept thinking that having two kids would be stressful and challenging(and it is for sure) but I can't picture it any other way now.
