Maybe I'm good

Just watched part of "Cheaper by the Dozen" on TV. I've seen it before. Reminded me of growing up in a household of only 6 kids.

Yeah, maybe two kids at home (three total) is a good number ...

look! I'm a hippy!

I wear my baby everywhere. I wear clothes I make, including really long flowing skirts, lol. I make my kids wear clothes I make. I make my baby wear diapers I make. I don't use paper towels anymore. I use cloth grocery sacks that I made.

I might have a problem.

But you have to admit, this is pretty darn cute. And I'm way more comfy wearing him on my back than front now that he's so big. but yeah.

I am officially old.

I have varicose veins in my left leg. Y'know. The one that swelled the worst during my last pregnancy.

Not that I fully understand why, but that made me feel about 15 years older than I really am.

*sigh*

Meet my new best friend

Why yes, that is an extendable bamboo-esque back scratcher made in china. I don't know how long it's been kicking around the house, but in my current post-sunburn peeling itchy stage, it is wonderful and not usually far from my grasp.

No more begging DH and DD to help with such instructions as: "just a little lower. To your left. NO, your other left."

Ahhhhhhhhhh.

Friday Fave Five!

1. The baby. Man, he is just cute and fun and generally well behaved. *most* of the time, he makes me want more kids, too. Only sometimes is that not the case. lol. He was just doing some really cute stuff today that would take a long time to explain and then ... well ... it wouldn't be so cute to any of you.

2. Kiddo is out of school for the summer and dealing with the fact that daddy and I aren't on vacation too. She wants to stay in her PJs all day and not get dressed unless we're going somewhere. Which is okay by me (since I feel the same way, lol), but not with Dad. ANYWAY. She's been playing so cute with the baby recently (most of the time), and just having a lot of fun being a sister and helping me out a lot without complaining (usually).

I sure love my kids. On one of the forums to which I belong, one of the gals there was saying how she didn't like her kids so much and hated that about herself and wanted to change it. I feel blessed that I love them and like them (most of the time) and can be silly with them and stuff.

3. Something I made and posted for a charity auction today got some bids on it. This and the random mom at church asking me to make a couple of cloth diapers for her baby both made me happy that someone wants something I made. lol.

4. The beat in "Single Ladies." Not so sure about the lyrics, or the video (even though those gals can DANCE!), but I LOVE the beat and music -- very catchy.

5. Aloe.Vera. My sunburn from swimming on Tuesday is doing better. (and I bought more sunscreen and aloe vera today, yay!)

Wonder why they thought this was a good idea. Except it's funny. And he doesn't look too miserable.

A 10-month-old's possessiveness

Baby Mojo LOVES his sister. And his daddy. But especially loves his mommy. Well, we were all kicking back on the bed watching baseball on TV (because the *baby* loves sports, not because any of the rest of us watch any sports! lol). Daddy was holding Mojo. Kiddo was at a 90-degree angle to me, holding my hand and cuddling me a bit. Mojo looked over, saw kiddo holding onto me, yelled, "MY MAMA!" and crawled over to us, saying mama the whole way. He then proceeded to shove his way in between the two of us, removing her hand from mine.

The force is strong with this one...
