Go Vikings!!!

"Who Dat" wearing those Viking horns???
Go Vikings!

I know, I know.  What do the Vikings have to do with your children and day care?  Well, to tell you the truth, nothing.  I just thought it would be fun to have a Vikings season opener game pep rally with the children (sorry Tonya-no Saints fans here today).  As you can see, even Parker got in on the fun.  She LOVED the football (mainly because it was nice and soft for her to chew on).

Parker is a Vikings fan too!

Is there a penalty for excessive "gumming" of the football?

Alex, Luke and Drew can't wait for tonight's game!

We had a surprise visit from Kiera today (and Laura and Chris too).  They were all dressed in their Vikings apparel for tonight's game.  Now I wish I would have taken their picture too!  Kiera is walking all over the place now! It's so darn cute!  I really miss having her here and am keeping my fingers crossed that she will be back again soon.

I enjoyed most of my vacation / time off.  Going up North was relaxing and peaceful.  Once we returned home it was non-stop running with Andrew's middle school orientation, last minute school supply shopping and such.  Countless forms and paperwork to fill out and lists of things to complete!  Will it ever end?

It sure has been a quiet week compared to most previous weeks this last summer.  I had no children here on Tuesday which was really kind of strange.  Roy was at work and I saw Andrew off to his first day of middle school.  I came back to a VERY quiet house.  I'm missing all my school-aged children now that they aren't here and I'm missing Rocco very much too!  Each of "my" children have a very special place in my heart and I love them all!

Well, that's it for now.  Go Vikings!!!
