Homebody vs. Busybody

While I throughly enjoy being out in town running errands and being around people I think I have discovered again what my parents knew when I was little, I'm sort of a homebody. I am relaxed and my most comfortable at home. I think that Dylan is the same way. He loves going to school, playing with his friends outside and doing things, but he seems most him self at home. When he was little I could put on the movie Cars and he would sit through the whole thing time and time again. He likes to hang out. Lincoln, on the other hand, is more of what I would call a busybody. I'm not sure if that's the best term for it, but that's the one I could think of. Yes, he is a toddler, I get that, but I can definitely tell that his personality is different from Dylan's. Walking to go get the mail is exciting for him rather than a task he has to accomplish to get to what he actually wants to do. He is just barely entertained by tv or movies but has a special place in his heart for all things PBS kids (think Elmo, Curious George, Clifford etc.). He moves from one activity to another and boy can he sure wear this momma out. The funny thing is that although I haven't met our newest addition yet, he reminds me a lot of Dylan when I was pregnant with him. Other than the length of morning sickness, everything seems really similar. I don't know if that will change once he is born, but having another mini me wouldn't be too bad :)

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!
