Evening swim

Zachary is crawling everywhere and fast these days. He crawls on tile flooring all day long, so concrete isn't a problem. While the kids were playing in the backyard last night after dinner, Zachary was chasing this giant green ball. When it hopped in the pool, so did he. It had been a nice day and the pool was in the sun long enough that the water was warm. He thoroughly enjoyed himself and we had fun watching him. This also then made the older kids think they might like an evening swim as well. Ahh, summer

What!?

This is awesome! I just found the blogger app! Yes, sad but true I didn't know it existed until now and not for a lack of trying. I thought there had to be an app to be able to post via mobile but each time I searched for "blog" in the App Store it wouldn't come up. Now you are all going to hear too much from me. So get ready cuz this is awesome! 

I started another new blog called "Bitty Bug Crafts" at bittybugcrafts.blogspot.com Yes it is a craft blog. I will put a link to get to it on this site when I am not mobile (squeal!) it may sound dumb, but I love to craft and have been sadly unable to do so for some time. I haven't made it a priority and when I did have the time I didn't have the desire. I don't know what changed, but I am now into over drive. This is all I think about that is all I dream about. I love having this creative side back! It is so therapeutic for me. So I created the blog to showcase all of the things I have and will be doing. Lets face it, if I become a craft blogger and make money doing so, that wouldn't be so bad either. ;) 

For now, just check it out and enjoy. I am going back to bed. ;)

Sugar Rush

This morning as Zachary woke up for his final "feeding", (that's me trying to extend my sleep) we heard a crash from down the hall. Darren started to get up and I said "just sleep, it wasn't breakable." The kids always get up around 6, Michael usually gets up earlier. So if it isn't breakable then it isn't totally worth it. Then about 20 min later Michael and Liam came running in. Liam asked "Me want cake, please?" it was very cute and while I was tempted to just say yes, I asked "is that what crashed?" Michael was very animated as he said "Yes! I wash my hands and my face, see, feel it!" So did he eat the cake, my guess is only a little that Liam said he had to ask mommy first. This is usually how things go. Liam is good at asking mommy first even though he knows mommy might say no and he will cry, it is better than getting in trouble for not asking. I got out of bed then, Zachary was awake and trying to get to the boys anyway, might as well go see the damage.

This is the cake from Lily's birthday last Wednesday.

Happy Birthday Lily!!

Thats right, its my little Lily's birthday! The big 6. We started the morning at the donut shop with a "sparkly" donut (that's sprinkles), then off to Chuck 'e' Cheese's for games and pizza, now to The Habit for burgers and shakes. (as i look at this, I realize I look like an awesome mom that doesn't cook for my kids and while we do eat out a lot, I do cook) I am so excited to watch her grow and love all of the new things she learns each day. She is my princess and I love her very much.

Happy Birthday Lily!
