One Big Blog

It's been awhile, so here's what we've been up to...

1. I've been trying to make a baby blanket with a broken sewing machine-not going so well.

2. Carman's been forcing Em to say "please." It sounds like this, "ph"

3. We went to a corn maze and Carman sucessfully navigated us out in less than 2 hours, while holding a sleeping Emmalynne.

4. I've gained 10 pounds on each of my arms.

5. I found out I'm dialated to a 2. The Dr. said not to get excited about it, but I did anyway-until I talked to my sister Tammy. (weird how the Dr. says its nothing to get excited about and I don't believe him but then my sister tells me it doesn't mean anything and I believe her...)

6. Carman's done 2 tons of homework. Every day.

7. Em has successfully transitioned into her twin size bed.

8. We bought Emmalynne a toy at the store, possible for the first time in her life. (We are experts in hand-me-downs and yard sales!)

9. Em's been taking all the pots and pans out of the cupboard and throwing them around the front room.

10. I tried a new hairstyle for Em:

Look how cute they are!

Okay, so did I ever post about the bunny watching tv? It was the funniest thing. He would literally stop hopping around and just watch the tv. Here he is watching A Beautiful Mind.

The tv watching continues. Apparently Baby Einsteins is fun for babies and dogs! Do all pets think the tv is amazing or is it just ours? (oh, and did you notice the upgrade in tv? Thanks to our nice neighbors...)

Mom of 4 for the Week

I've been rather busy this past week! We have some friends that went out of town for the week. They took their youngest two children with them and left the older 3 with Carman and I. We've been staying at their house and having a super time. Sometimes I sware Emmalynne was not meant to be the oldest child. She absolutely loves have "big sisters" around. I'm thinking having these older kids take care of Emmalynne is more of a favor to me than it is for my friend. The girls are 8, 6 and 3 years old. I've had a little practice of what it's like to be a mom of school agers. It took an entire 2 days for them to realize they didn't have to do every thing I said. I was hoping it'd last the entire week... Overall, they're really good kids though. However, I've decided NOT to have 4 kids until Carman is home in the evenings!
