spring. for today.

ahhh. wisconsin. probably one of the states that can change weather like THAT. today it is 65ish out!! woo hoo. by thursday it will be 40's again. for today i'll take this.

yesterday we signed the papers for the tractor. and took it for a 'test drive'. me. i took it for a test 'ride'. shaun asked if i wanted to drive it..i said. nope. i'd rather wreck something on OUR property. i have driven a tractor before. but it is a big ole machine and kind of scary! so i'll stick to our yard.

the girls have their dance pictures today. because of that there was no class this morning. oh it felt SO good to not have to rush out of the house by 830. that is not an easy feat to do with four kiddos! my mom is on first shift and coming with me or watching the little two while i go. i haven't decided if i want her to come with our just watch dustin and caitlyn. we'll see what later brings. i am currently trying to steam their costumes though. i am running a hot shower in the bathroom. i am hoping they won't be too wrinkly later!! yes. i am a procrastinator. speaking of procrastinating...i'll be mailing out my gifts TOMORROW. because of no dance class today i won't be leaving the house before the post office closes...so sorry gals...tomorrow i promise. :0)

i am also still getting caught up on laundry. shaun did fix it on friday. but saturday was spent washing diapers and sunday we were gone all day. yesterday i did a couple of loads and today the rest. all i have left is diapers and shaun's work clothes. and then i'll be 'caught up' but really i'll just be doing wash again by thursday. that way i'll stay on top of it. unlike last week.

i am trying to figure out dustin's schedule. he seems to enjoy getting up at four thirty am lately. he isn't hungry, just awake. i ignore him as long as i can. which is hard to do when he is sleeping next to the bed in the bassinet!! he stays up until five thirty-ish, which by then he is hungry. and because i just want some solid sleep i feed him. he then sleeps til like seven thirty/eight o clock-ish. i'm thinking about trying to give him an earlier 'evening' nap. he is usually tired around six-ish and wants a nap. well then he sleeps til eight or later. and then we put him to bed with the girls between eight thirty and nine. so i think we'll either keep him up later or give an earlier nap. i'd rather not keep him up later, only because he is already on this 'bed time' schedule. so earlier nap, if possible it is!! i also think his ezcema is bugging him, because he really itches his head a lot while he's up. so i've been sure to slather the lotion all over him. even if it makes his hair all greasy. so lord willing it helps. i've just been spolied for three months and sleeping til five thirty at the earliest.

he is doing SO good on foods though. he eats two times a day, and today i've been considering bumping it up to three. so probably by the end of the week it'll be three. he loves everything. except peaches. he spit up non-stop after eating those. so i'll wait awhile before giving him them again. only because i don't want a bunch of orange stained clothing! i have yet to try squash with him, all three girls hated it. and i can not stand the smell...so when i feel up to it, he'll get it. his favorite has been carrots.

so um...hmmm. i really don't know what else to say. i have to eat lunch yet. my belly is hungry. so that means, i'm leaving you for a can of spaghettios. yes you read that right. i love them. i know they're unhealthy, processed food yuck. but i like them. so i'm off to eat the sodium filled can of yumminess. to me. :0)
