Bedtime

I love my kids bedtime for two reasons. The first one is obvious-I get some quiet time. The second reason is that I love puting Rachel to bed. This is one of my favorite things to do. When we put her to bed she has to have her favorite blanket. And not only does she have her favorite blanket but she has to have it a certain way. She has to have the yellow side with polka dots and the ties down and the purple side facing up. Which to me is upside down but oh well. Most nights I put it on her the wrong way just so I can hear her say "Wa way ma." (wrong way mom) And then she laughs. Which makes me laugh. So I turn it over and give her hugs but before I can give her a kiss she gives me a kiss on each cheek and then on my forehead. And then I get to give her a kiss. No matter how the day has gone this is what I get from her at bedtime. I absolutely love it. Especially since the boys are not quite so easy to put to bed.

6 MONTHS

I can't believe Lucas is already six months old. He weighs 15 lbs 12 oz (17%) and is 25 and 3/4 in long (23%). Now I realize that might not seem very big to some of you but compared to my other kids he is actually the biggest at this age. Only by a few ounces but still bigger. I love this age. He is really starting to play with toys and anything else he can get his hands on. He is getting close to sitting up and crawling. He will get on his hands and knees and just stay there for a few seconds and then drop back down and roll around and just turn in circles. He is ticklish right up by his neck and loves to laugh when anybody tickles him there. His brothers also like to make him laugh and I just love to listen to them playing.

FINALLY!!

After two and a half weeks of not having a working dryer we finally got our new one delivered today. Yea! And since we have already fixed the washer once we thought we would just get a new washer as well. Yea! My aunt and uncle gave us our old washer and dryer almost eight years ago. We were so grateful to have them since we didn't really have alot of money at the time to buy new ones. I don't know how old they were but the dryer looked like it was from the 70's. They both served their purpose well and have now left us. And finally our new washer and dryer are here. We got front loaders and I just wish I could get them hooked up asap and start washing. I never thought I would be so excited to do laundry but since I have done as little as possible the last two weeks we have laundry everywhere. The day the dryer quit drying we started potty training Rachel. Not a good idea since she goes through three or four pairs a day. We also ran out of pull-ups for Zack and Preston to wear to bed so their sheets and blankets are all stinky. I did change their sheets once but Zack won't use any other blanket than his own so even though it has been peed on multiple times he still uses it. So hopefully today or tomorrow I will finally get everything washed and dryed and put away.
