CUBS vs BREWERS

Big series starts tonight in Wrigley Field.... Brewers vs Cubs.

Lunch is on the line once again with one of my co-workers. He wants payback from the last series. Four free lunches.... ah... that was great! Hopefully I will get three more this series.

Today's apparel at Daycare.... (I should explain that the Knutson's are die hard Brewer fans.)


Alex, Jack, Brooks and Ally


Don't worry buddy, we'll still be friends and I will get you a Cubs shirt for Xmas.

Boys and their lawn mowers

Sunday late afternoon Steve decided to cut the grass for the first time in 4 weeks (no rain, no growth... finally rain last week .... growth!). So Jack and Alex were excited to help dad out. It was so funny watching them.... Alex would just stop mowing and yell at Steve thinking he could hear him.





The Weekend

This weekend we did nothing which was FABULOUS! Melissa and the boys came over Sunday for a few hours and the boys just loved it. Sorry for the sideway pictures...

The Boys Club

I forgot we had this blow up jumper and decided to blow it up for the boys. We are happy to report that there were no injuries. :)




Our 5 dollar purchase off Craigslist... good enough until x-mas.

Who is that Monkey???

It's ALEX

Hey, I wore that for my second Halloween too!

Mom he went that way....

Huh?! Smile??

Remembering

September 11, 2001 I was in Chicago for work, working a trade show. I was getting ready in my hotel room when I was watching the Today show and they just reported the first plane hitting the tower. I couldn't take my eyes off the TV. I ended up meeting the rest of the group and hopped into the car and drove to the McCormick Center. On the way their we had the radio on listening and discussing with each other. Then we arrived at the Center and we weren't their for more than 15 minutes and we were on a lock down. Luckily someone had a TV on in their booth and I kid you not there was about 100 people standing around that TV watching and listening to every word and movement. We just couldn't believe what happened.


So hug/shake the hand of a firefighter, police office and a soldiers family.

Tons of Pictures

Alex and his sour cream!

Brothers
Let's race!
Put me in Coach
Gma H bought these for the boys over the weekend.

Seriously, how much cuter can this boy get??
This is how Steve found Jack sleeping the other night.
Do you think I need a hair cut?!
AH.... much better.
Check out these crazy glasses.



Misc Videos

I was going through my camera and came across these videos of the kids. I thought they were funny and cute.


Alex's favorite show is now Blue's Clues. Check him out with "Mail Time". We are not sure why it is his fav, but we are happy that it is not The Wiggles like when Jack was his age. Don't get me wrong, I liked the Wiggles, it is just that their songs would stick in my head all dang day long! Fruit Salad... Yummy, Yummy.


Well watch the video and Jack will tell you what he is about to do.

We were on our way back home from Amy's when the Cubs game ended. The Cubs won so the boys are dancing in their car seats to the Go Cubs Go song. Yes, I make them listen to the games on the radio sometimes.... well when they will let me listen to the game. :)

Ride em Cowboy! Look how crazy my child is on this toy! Not only does he do this but he also stands on it and bounces. I see another visit to the ER coming soon.

Do you think he likes Sour Cream?

I found this from our August 20th Cubs game. Yikes.... I think we all need singing lessons or was it the beer??
