Three's company... four's a crowd.

Well we finally got all the kids together for the Christmas since Danielle moved back to her moms. We had all of them together for the whole new years weekend. I took the picture on Danielle's phone so it gets a little blurrier the bigger I make it but any smaller and it would lose all of those sweet smiles. We had a great time hanging out, running errands and even eating a nice dinner out with friends.
Tomorrow is the day when we find out if we will have an even two boys and two girls or if the boys are going to totally outnumber the girls. We get our anatomy ultrasound tomorrow afternoon and it's pretty exciting to meet this next little one. The last and only ultrasound we have had so far the baby really didn't look like much of a baby so I am so looking forward to seeing how much he or she has changed. Lincoln recognizes babies on tv and in magazines and if you tell him to kiss the baby he will usually run over and kiss my belly so I think he knows something is going on but really has no idea what he's in for in May. The other day was really the first time he had a negative reaction when he tried to pull of the skin on my stomach. Maybe he was just tired for the day, who knows. He is such a cuddle bug and loves to give hugs and kisses to everyone (even the dog) but he isn't always the gentlest. We have some work to do, oh boy. The baby also kicks back when I am holding Linc and he squished my belly so I can just tell we are going to have a wild and crazy house.
After a busy holiday season, a horrible flu that went around the house, and now trying to put everything back together I am looking forward to getting back to blogging in 2012! Happy New Year.

Do's and Don'ts of Birthdays and Parties

My oldest son just turned 7 and since we are watching every cent going out I tried to be as creative as possible when coming up with the birthday of a life time (until next year). Do: Make Them Feel Important Without Spending Money Waffles with chocolate syrup for breakfast are ok on a special day like this! (I love using a pizza cutter to slice waffles and pancakes for the little guys, especially Lincoln who is still learning to feed himself with a fork) Measuring on the wall of fame, we only write on it once a year now to make it exciting. Dylan grew about 3.25 inches in one year! This momma gets tired quicker than ever being 30+ weeks pregnant and chasing after a rowdy toddler so I didn't do the fanciest cakes (remember the volcano cake from birthday 4 or the mint chocolate chip cupcakes from last year) but I did find some cute stickers that have been in the house for years, put a matching one on both sides of a flat tooth pick and voila, cupcakes to compete with the best ...

Blending In, Lazy Fall Days and a Birthday Too

I have a picture of Dylan taking a nap in Daddy's camouflage a year or two ago. This year I thought it would be fun to get one of Lincoln in the same pile of clothes. I love how all three of these were taken within a few seconds of each other but his facial expressions are so different. Today when Dylan got home from school he was grumpy and said he didn't feel too well so he zonked out for a nap on the couch while I also got Lincoln down for a nap too. Danielle stayed after school for some help so I actually got part of dinner ready and cleaned out the dish washer. Of course I didn't get to finish this before the little one woke up, but hey I had a small moment of silence complete with a picture of a one handed baby and a little boy turning into a little man with a little smear of pink frosting on his cheek from a girls' birthday party at kindergarten. Danielle is 17 today! I can hardly believe it. This picture was taken a week or two ago by Danielle's frien...

cha cha cha changes

Well what do you think? Pretty close for doing it myself! I got my hair cut professionally a few weeks ago and decided that I still wanted to go shorter and finally today was the day. Dylan got a buzz cut and the dog is next, watch out!
