Life in Narration

I constantly think about posting on my blog. My kids are so cute and funny. We constantly are going places and seeing amazing things. My husband and I are overly opinionated and boy could I write about any political issue or person if I really felt like it. Most of all, I feel like my mind is always in constant narration.

Regardless of all the reasons why I should write more, there is one big reason why I do not.

Don't get me wrong, Charlie is awesome but come on! He is not even 6 months old and he sits up, crawls, fusses because he can't get to Daniel and Alice fast enough, refuses to eat cereal or any other baby food, won't drink from a bottle, already has one tooth and most of the time hates Jason. Now sure, him not being on a set schedule is my fault, as I never live life in any sort of organized way. (I do try it just never works out.) But Charlie often drives me crazy.

Then when he isn't driving me crazy these two are:

Oh well right? It sure is an adventure having a family. This month my goal is to organize my desk/mail area. Which I would say is going great except I am staring at the last suitcase from our Disneyland trip to be unpacked.

I have decided to do something with my talents and am starting music classes at my house. Piano lessons for beginners and group music lessons for 3-5 year olds. I think I might add a kindergarten kids class because I just realized that though Alice will be home for one of the classes Daniel will not and he would love it. Anyone else got a kindergartener who wants to come? More info on that is located here: musicalmelanie.weebly.com

I can't believe how fast time flies. Hopefully it will not be another 3 months before I post again.

I totally understand! My Esther was like Charlie in almost every way you described including hating Chris and it was torture! And when you're not dealing with that you always have the older ones to remind you why you're crazy. :) I'm dreading having another baby and potentially dealing with all of that again plus 4 other kids - aaahhh!! Time definitely does blur by and it seems like all the things we want to accomplish never happen so good job posting and good luck surviving! :)

Ikea beat the rainy day

My kids love the dirt. They love being outside while I try to plant and do everything in the dirt. Alice rolls in, runs in, and eats the dirt. The grossest thing I have found lately is her with her mouth full of mud and a pebble in her hand and big smiles on her face. To beat that I have found her now three times with dirt in the mouth. Yuck! Today it rained. This has got to be the fifteenth day this month that it rained and my kids could not stand it. So eventually I told the kids to get their shoes (which makes Alice run to the door) and that we were going to IKEA. IKEA is a great way to spend the day. Daniel and Alice played in the kids rooms that were set up and ran through that little hole in the wall they have between two of the rooms. They loved it. One of the rooms had a slide in it which Alice discovered that she loved. Down the slide she went, over and over and over again. Then we came home and the crying and tantrums started up right away again. But for those two...

Nothing like people to ruin your day.

Alright so last week we found out that our condo was put up for sale. Jason looked up the sales price, quickly realized that is was pretty low and we feared for the type of people that would be coming through to view our condo, we were right to fear. Usually I am pretty easy going and try to be accommodating but somethings are unbelievable. So these people put in an offer on our home and then the husband wanted to come check it out so their agent and our agent agreed on a time. We thought, okay they'll be here what like a half hour? So Jason and Daniel went to look at homes for us and I stayed here to watch the show. The husband proceeded to test each outlet to see if it was hot, then he was looking in the attic space, then messing with the fuses and air conditioning. He was the first to show up so we thought, ok, this is going to be alright. Ten to fifteen minutes later someone else knocked on the door. There is this lady with three kids and a pizza box. She mumbled some...

Sitting Up

Alice has begun sitting up. She can sit for about a minute on her own and then for about five minutes supported. Grass is also her new favorite thing and she will grab the blanket that she sits on and move it so that she can grab the grass. She can currently pull of fist fulls of grass with no hesitation. Although she did face plant in the grass and decided that the grass was not where her head should be. Daniel loves raspberries. He loves to run outside and pick raspberries straight from the bushes. Then he loves to run around the yard at grandma's house screaming. Alvin the dog is actually more afraid of Daniel than the other way around. Our house is coming along and hopefully within the month so we can get more settled. Yellowstone was a successful trip and our kids had a blast. Daniel could not see out the binoculars so eventually we just started pointed out animals that he could see on his own which were: buffalo. Good things seeing four million buffalo was exciting...
