Kollman's Krazy Punkins!

The kids have opened a pumpkin selling business! Come on over and get yourself some!

To each child, what they can handle!

I just told Rubie she was "extremely annoying." Great mothering, huh? Fortunately, Rubie is non-plussed by these types of comments....on the other hand, Reggie would go to his room and cry for a day or two if I had said the same to him. Lily would laugh and continue the annoyance; hey, it got her attention! We'll see about Henry...

Lily

Lily is quite a human being! She can belt out a Broadway tune like no 4-year-old I've ever met! She loves to cuddle and to play, but is often quite serious. Being the third in the family, she can compete with the big kids when it comes to getting her way. She doesn't like to pose for pictures, so it's difficult to show what a beautiful girl she is! She also has a very funny way of talking, she sounds like she has a Brooklyn accent!

Reggie

Reggie is a great guy! He loves to hike and his best smiles can be found on top of mountains! He's way too hard on himself, and would tell you that he's not really good at anything (except video games, of course). But, I know him to be a wonderful reader, a very fast runner and a clever puzzle-solver. Reggie would make any mother proud, he's a sensitive and caring 10-year-old boy!

Rubie

Rubie is the sweetest girl. She always rushes to help a sibling in distress, is kind and amazingly generous. However, don't cross her! She has a quick temper and you'll know it if you've upset her!

Henry

This is Henry. Inquisitive, sensitive, sweet, rascally rabbit!

Okay, I'm here...I'm writing something...

Margaret, I just read your blog. I feel ya baby! Some days I don't know how we all live through it.

I will post, I will post......maybe later, Lily is yelling "Mammmmaaaaaa, I can't find any clean underpants!!!!!!!!!"

Spring has sprung!

What a week will do! Last week I was wondering if the snow would ever melt and if spring was really coming! It's here, finally! I'm outside in a short sleeve shirt, yippeeeee!

Sisters can be merciless...

Okay, I was going to post some pics and write something this morning. However, after trying to get my camera's memory card into the slot for about 10 minutes, I discovered that I had removed the camera's battery, not the memory card. So here I was trying to upload my weekend pictures ( a manuever I've done at least 1000 times ) and I could not figure out why the card would not go into the slot. It's the battery, genius...I think it's too early to blog...maybe later...

Hmmmm, A Blog

I've decided to try this blogging thing...I was thinking that maybe it could be like a virtual scrap book, since I have proven abysmal at scrapbooking! ( I think I'm up to November 2004 in a photo album)

I am inspired by the Speidel Family and the EddyBlouins. I have been reading their blogs and now here I am.

Hey Lily, if you kick at that ice long enough, it might actually go away!
