| sewingI have begun to sew, and not just my piddly half ass attempts to put out something passable. NO I am trying to really learn and put out quality stuff. I have learned how to do a french seam, which is nice since I just have a machine and not a serger. Someday maybe. Jewely is VERY sensitive to seams and the like so it's good that I learned to do the french seam b/c that didn't bother her at all. I think the baby is destroying something.

| Easter- Spring CelebrationJust saw some great pictures of my kids friends at her Church. They had a petting zoo. I thought for a second, well that sense of community IS something I miss about being part of a church...but then I thought about today. I have wonderful friends, 4 generations that gather together for special occasions. We had this huge feast and the kids gathered eggs, we popped out the kiddie pool and they swam. I LOVE that, that we all get together. That we have such a large crowd of people and kids, and even our parents. Year to year it varies how many of us get together. We have ebbs and flows in our involvement with one another but it's ok. It is one thing that holds me here. The sense of community we have with each other, that getting together with people you have known for so long. The fact that when we get together their is a whole Horde of kids for my daughters to play with. I will add pictures as soon as the baby goes to sleep. Speaking of the baby sleeping, the past two nights she has not night nursed at all of her own volition. Last night she even slept the whole night in her own bed. More about last night in another, post.
Easter, we aren't religious. I don't believe in the Christian god or Jesus Christ. We celebrate Easter but we are actually celebrating new life and plants. I would like to incorporate that even more into our celebration. I suppose it is appropriate that this evening DH planted two new trees in the front yard. I also tend to call it Spring Celebration. I do still say easter since I grew up calling it that, plus some one was telling me that Easter comes from the word Eastra or something like that, said it has pagan roots. I need to look it up.
We also went to my moms house after some arguments with her. I felt bad getting into an argument with her on a Holiday, but all ended well.

| My firstborn is FIVE!!Jewely is five!
We went to the zoo, Daddy even got off of work early for the occasion. We got her a zoo year long ride pass that was tucked inside the meerkat bag you see her wearing in the photo below. Well part of it anyways. The meerkat is her favorite animal. Her favorite food is pancakes, she does not like raisins or chocolate chips or brownies. She likes salami sandwiches with ketchup.She likes to read recipes in bed sometimes, and she likes to help me cook. She will make lasagna, but she won't eat it. She is intelligent and enjoys reading and being read to.I LOVE to listen to her read, especially when she is not reading TO ME. I will sit and read and she will sit down with a book and read to herself, but she always reads aloud quietly. So I sit and pretend to read and marvel at my little girl as she reads through books I just didn't think she could read. She has recently developed an attitude that is infuriating and on her bad days she whines about everything. She likes her sister sometimes and can be so sweet, other times she fights with her for no real reason or bosses her around or stands on her knees. She loves her dad all the time more then anyone else on Earth. She does not like to clean and when a group is cleaning she pretends to be finding something or pretends to be finishing something until all the cleaning is finished. She is not afraid of anything, she is tough, she is strong, she is a leader. I think it is funny when she plays coy with strangers who compliment her because she never acts like that with anyone she knows. She makes me laugh. She is navigating this world she was put into and she has used her brains and her observations (which she is always making) to help her out.
with her favorite goat at the petting zoo.
 
My baby is five now, she just keeps growing and growing. I knew it was going to happen but sometimes it is still hard to believe.
a funny thing she said the other day
"Mommy I know who Gosh is, like in 'Oh my Gosh'. Gosh is like God he lives forever, but they fight sometimes. Santa is like them too."
She regaled my sister with stories of Gosh, God, and Dude as well. She is funny

| I am tiredWe have been going going going for a couple days. Ok well yesterday I took the day off and DH took care of the kids and cooked and worked around the house. But before that we really did go around a lot, to the zoo twice playdates all day, valentines parties, etc. I am glad to just have a day at home cleaning a little, watching tv, reading, playing. We will go to the library and my moms for a bit but that is it. then tomorrow i get to go to http://www.getaguru.com/ to get my fancy soap, I MISS my fancy soap!!
I am having some serious trouble with an order I placed for diapers. I went to www.simplifywithstyle.com and placed my order on the first of this month, 18 days later and nothing. I contacted her three times by e-mail and called twice. Finally after a call informing her that I would give her a bad review on mothering (that I would change once the issue was resolved) she called me back and said I should have forgotten the order a week ago. Well she said she would call back in about 1/2 an hour after she talked to fed ex. It has been, oh three days i think and i have heard nothing! Additionally she was originally supposed to send me a shipping confirmation which she never did. She said she was sorry and her mother was in the hospital, and I feel bad about that and I understand that would affect the way you do business but the thing is I spent almost $80. I am extremely worried about the money I put out, we don't have a lot of money to be spending, I have to wait and save to spend money like that. Plus when i ordered from her previous store there was some sort of problem that she apologized for and straightened out, but with the two combined I just don't know. If she has to much personnel stuff going on maybe she should just close her shop for a bit. I will update you all on the situation. i am really hoping eventually it gets straitened out b/c that is just to much money to be out.
so her is what I got me for my birthday. (a maya wrap, great deal I got the ring sling for $24.00)
