Xadia's make shift pajama's bottoms.
March 1st
was Teagan’s first birthday. We had a
small birthday celebration. Basically we
had mini cupcakes with ice cream after dinner and sang happy birthday. It was not anything like Jacinda’s first
birthday which goes to show that when the fourth child comes, the hype is gone.
We also had a birthday on the 9th
for Tim. His party consisted of having
all the neighbor kids come over play with our kids and to eat dinner. We ate hot dogs and Tim’s favorite chocolate
cake from Costco. He originally wanted
to have a hot dog roast in the park and feed the homeless, however, that
changed because of limited parental supervision for our kids and serving
hands. Instead, we filled water bottles
with chapstick, band-aids, flavored drink mix, trail mix, crackers, and mini
candy bars. Now we
get to distribute these 30 bottles to homeless individuals. I need to mention that as we assembled the
water bottles, a few of the kids (and neighbor kids) commented that they wanted
to be homeless so they can get a filled bottle.
The
weather is becoming very beautiful. We
took advantage of the sunshine yesterday by sealing the windows on our house. We hope this will keep out the box elder
bugs. So far I have noticed a
difference. In the past I had to vacuum the
front room 3 times a day. Today, I only
had to vacuum once. This is such a big
improvement.
I love
being a mom because my kids are always surprising me. Jacinda has a good habit of taking mine and
Tim’s shirts and using them as pajamas.
Tonight, Xadia grabbed my toasting socks and used them as pajama’s
bottoms. She looked so cute I had to
laugh.
