Hot Buns!

I know I have confessed to be a rather crazy sort of person. If you didn't believe it before, you probably will now. Sometime last December or January I got all ambitious and started putting Alex in cloth diapers. Just the plain old fold-up and pin-it kind. They worked great and saved some money too. I've been a bit flaky the past 2 or 3 months, but have had a renewed sense of 'cents' and have been doing it again. Nora is out of diapers so I have been pretty motivated. In an attempt to make diapering easier for me, I have created this..... It's a pocket diaper. You just stuff the pre-fold diapers into them and *snap* the job's a game!

They still have to be covered up with water-proof pants. I use the poofy white ones. They work. Anyway, if you are nutty enough to give this a try, check out Rita's Rump Pockets! Watch out! You might have fun AND save some sense....I mean cents.

I've been missing

It's been a busy month:

We took a trip to SC
My handsome sailor had laser eye surgery (PRK)
I potty-trained Nora (who suddenly doesn't look like a toddler/baby anymore)
I started preschool with Grant and Nora

I used to think I would never be a 'busy mom'. Taking care of infants is so involved, but doesn't require much coming and going. I have discovered that this is not the case with preschool-aged children. I'm rather relieved!

I have nothing more to say. I will post some more pictures later.

Poor Baby

I recently purchased a new high chair for Alex so he could sit at the table with us. It has been perfect! Yesterday, I left him at the table and walked into the other room to settle a disagreement between the other two angels, and came back to the kitchen to find a very sad Alex.

He was stuck!
