First Bath in the Tub!

Aren't I cute after I get all cleaned up? I think this was after Wyatt's first full bath in the tub (after belly button fell off).OOPS, these are backwards, but as you can see, he was happy to be all wrapped up and out of the tub!
I don' t think boys like to be clean, do they? It seems that without fail, he earps up or blows out his diaper within just about an hour of any given bath time. I gave up trying to keep him clean!
Ooh, this might kinda be fun...
Snuggles with daddy are the best!

November 2010....

OK, so I fell off of the blogosphere for awhile. Most of you have figured out that I finally joined facebook, but if not, look me up, I'd love to "be friends". It seems easier to do a quick update on facebook, but I am gonna try my hardest to catch up here on the blog. I'm gonna have to take it one month at a time... Once I finally get up to date you are not gonna believe how big our moose baby Wyatt has become. He's one porky Elmer Fudd, I tell ya!I think this PARTY was our celebration that Wyatt did not have to do light therapy any more once his jaundice levels got back down. We celebrated with crackers, sausage and cheese on the floor. You know, man foods!
Wyatt pretty much has three mommies, who all adore him and love him in many different ways. They fight over who gets to hold him more and entertain him all the time! What a nice feature of having kids who are alot older:)

Oh, and we cracked up when Hannah went running to get the ruler to see if Wyatt had grown since the girls were gone for the week while we dealt with his jaundice.

Family Funnies...

Last night I had just finished changing Wyatt and asked Ted to watch the buddy so I could work on the budget. Not two seconds after he said, "sure", the buddy proceeded to load up his "drawers..." (as daddy likes to say) I laughed and said, "He's all yours!" He looked at Wyatt and said with force, "Why can't you go on the toilet!!!?"

For some reason that tickled my funny bone quite a bit.

Maybe that one didn't make you "crack up", but here's one from Hannah 5 minutes ago that will...

I'm changing Wyatt's diaper (again - how amazing!) and I told the girls "It's a big dumper I think..." (Daddy likes us to use MANLY words like BIG DUMPER when we are talking in terms of the BOY!) So, I opened up his diaper carefully and Hannah in a horrified tone of voice says, "OH GROSS! YOU POOPED ON YOUR WEENIE!" I'm still laughing as I type. Sorry if I offended any of you... but this is my life these days and I wouldn't "change it" for the world!

He Came Home Early...

Yep, that's right... usually my hubby is at the plant over night for a "shut-down", but he got off early this time and came home while I was still up feeding the buddy. When he opened the door, the first thing I heard was "Uh-Oh" (oops, I left my pile of tools outside the door, so he now has a clue that I've been up to something). Then I hear him say, "Naughty Girl. Naughty, NAUGHTY GIRL"! Yes, I was very naughty. But I really did save him some work, so I was really being a HELPER, right? Hannah was (for some reason) super duper excited when I told her we were going to cut down the "half-walls". She wanted to help, so I let her pose with the saw (with the cover on for safety).
The above mentioned "Naughty Girl" at work...
And I did give them each a try but of course they could not really even move the saw, but they continued on helping with their enthusiasm!
This one's for Oompa!
This one too...
Tearing down the walls... always a good thing to do in life, right?
One down and one more to go...
I was quite exhausted after the first wall and almost left the second wall, but took a break and found a "second wind" to "git' er' done". Teddy boy will have to help me with the floor repair that needs to happen now and fixing up the walls, but we will do that soon (together) when we are able to get new carpet, which is in the plan for late winter!

Emelia was a bit bummed that I was not going to use Daddy's power saw, but hey, folks, I'm not THAT CRAZY. I do know when I'm out of my league, so all with hand tools it was! And I can even tell you that I didn't even break a nail! Wow!

So, what kind of crazy things are you up to these days?

Hint number two...

Here's a shot of the same location just after we moved into the house over 3 years ago... See anything that screams 1970's? I promise I will show you what I did tomorrow!

Hint, Hint...

So, the hint is that my wily hair has something to do with what you can see in these pictures. See anything wrong that might drive you crazy enough to take serious action about? Yeah, the pictures might need some re-arranging, but I wouldn't get in trouble for that. I might just get in trouble for what I DID DO, though.

Oh, yes, and tell Dad that no children have been injured in the process, so not to worry!

Ted is gone and I've got a wily hair...

Do you remember what kind of things I do when I get a wily hair? Like cutting down trees and stuff like that... Well, we're all snowed in, Ted has a shut down today, which means I won't see him until tomorrow morning. I did warn him that I've had the wily hair for about a week or so...

Don't worry, it's all inside Dad, so I won't get frostbite or anything... The girls may even help out. Stay tuned for pics.

Oh and here's a couple of a cute baby that I have been promising. I realize they are old (he's much chubbier now!) but they are too sweet not to share. And yes, it's not easy to keep his feet in the right place, if you know what I mean. One is kinda borderline, but I think I can fix it on Adobe:) The top two pics he is 17 days old and the bottom two pics he is 12 days old. (Belly button fell off in between as you can see!)

Now it's off to find my tools for the project...
