Day of Firsts

Today was a big day for Pumpkin. Today she did something I didn't think she could do calmly. She managed to do something I didn't think she could. She made it through a dentist appointment without having a melt down. I am so proud. She was scared I could tell. We have the starting of a cavity but I am sure we can keep it away. We just need to follow the rules. I know my kiddo can do it. My only fear is they mentioned her mouth being too small. Let's hope we are jumping the gun on that one.

In the chair for the first time.

They get glasses for the light.

                                                                                                                                              
Getting her teeth cleaned.
Her other big even today? Why her first school play!! She was a rag doll. Normally I would have made her costume, however my unique living circumstances didn't allow for it. My wonderful grandma made it for me and mailed it to me. I did get to make her wig and adjust the costume to fit her. It came out super cute. I really think she was adorable. She had one line and did it perfectly. Watching a bunch of 1st graders dance and sing was fun tonight. I got video of the whole thing, pictures there did not turn out. So I am going to share my iPhone picture from before.

Family Pictures

Alright so we are what is considered a big family these days. I am lucky and my photographer loves his subjects as my photographer is my father-in-law (FIL). I had him do some family pictures this month so we could have a cute Christmas card. Our problem is the kids are so young so half the time one or more kid is not looking at the camera and this is often the result. Okay so that is sort of cute. Let's see what else results from a large family. Okay this one is not so bad, other than the face. This is a little better, again so many people and under the lights it can get warm (yes he has professional lights and will have a studio this next year.) At this point. I was sure we were done. However me being mommy we continued on. I did get the shot I wanted. I won't share it, it wasn't perfect, in fact it was less than perfect, however it just screamed this is it. It reminds me of the kids picture with Santa last year, you know one of those moments you just ca

Shopping Fun

Okay so today we were on a mission, you see Tuesday we sign for our new home. The home my husband and I have had built, one we plan to live in for years. The problem, we NEEDED window coverings. After much discussion with each other we decided on curtains in this home, in the end we decided on thermal curtains for many reasons. We wanted it to be noise reducing, black out, thermal curtains. For us we did not care where they came from but we had requirements, They HAD to be at least 84" long, and certain windows they HAD to be 52" wide. We went to 4 stores, we got almost all the windows, we did get all the curtain rods. I won't show pictures of all the curtains we got, you can wait for them to be reviled in each room as I show case them once they are done. We did make a stop between stores for lunch. It was one of our favorite places for lunch, Q-doba. We all have our favorites. The kids really enjoy eating here. However at the end of the meal I was left with the same q

Christmas Crack?

Image
Okay so in January of 2009 I joined a cloth diaper board called Cloth Diaper Nation . I had just found out I was expecting my third child the summer before and after loosing a computer hard drive to Diaper Swappers 's viruses they were having trouble with at the time, I jumped ship for another place to get diapers. See with my second baby I decided I wanted to cloth diaper and just knew I would need loads more diapers after having my third child, and would now have two babies in diapers. I ended up finding the ladies of the board very interesting. I loved that there was no edit button and you had to own what you said there. What I did find strange was their chatter about crack. Heck they even ran a co-op of this crack. I didn't get it at first. I began to understand this was a candy of sorts. So I just pushed it off. So then Christmas came and they were unable to get the co-op run and there were many sad ladies. I again thought nothing of this crack. So this year I am introdu
