All Because 2 People Fell In Love: Catching up

Do you ever feel there is just to much on your plate? Or that you are constantly running around trying to catch up?

It comes in spurts for me. I will have 2-3 weeks of NOTHING! no playgroup because everyone is busy, no working at grandma's because they are health (can't complain about healthy 70+ family :), no bow orders, not even a sewing project on the minds some times. AND THEN...I am needed everywhere.

I don't mine being busy, and I for sure don't mind helping out friends and family by watching kids so they can go to the Dr. I love playgroup and try my hardest not to miss the few times we are able to get together lately. I still get excited when I get a bow order, or see one of my friends girls with one in their hair. Oh, and I am planing my sisters baby shower in 7 weeks.

I love all the things on my plate. I just wish some times that they would not all be there at once so I could enjoy them a little longer. I feel like my brain never stops thinking about the next "to do".

Anyway, If you where wondering why my posts have been few and far between, that would sum it up. The kids and I are staying busy! Oh, and I started couponing. Not the huge stock pile "we are getting 100" type, but I am trying to get things for as close to free as I can in order to help save our one income family more money. So far I have gotten hand soap for $.08, men's shaving gel FREE, a swiffer 360 duster for $1.19, and some other deals on canned soups, snacks for Jamie, creamer for Jack. The deals are endless and it is really kind of fun to walk out of a store knowing I paid half (or more) of what other people are paying for that product.

Well, now to move on to the stars of my blog. The Kids!

Rebecca is 7 1/5 months old. She has one tooth, and is so excited to get to eat table food. She gags on normal baby food so I just give her crumbs of bread, or Cheerios, steamed carrots and squash, things like that. SHE LOVE IT! She wants everything that I put on my plate, but I won't let her have the over processed, salted, seasoned things yet.

Jamie is no longer in diapers, rather he likes it or not. He wears one for nap and bed, but otherwise he is in underwear. He does good as long as I make him "try" every 1 1/2 to 2 hours. He is always dry after nap. He is also starting to get the hang of pooing in the potty. I think he is doing great for a kid that wants to still be in diapers because they are easier on him.

Here are some cute bath tub pictures of the kidos :)
