Wow, it’s been awhile here since I “blogged” but things have been busy, not allowing for much computer time.

First off on Monday, we woke to 6 inches of water in the basement and some of our things floating around amongst the water. That was fun. So, Dee borrowed a pump and got most of it out and then shop-vac’ed the rest. It’s still wet down there but it usually is a little anyhow. Good thing we had worked on it last weekend and put the bins of kid’s clothes up on blocks. All in all a hastle, but no harm done.

Wednesday I took Trey to his “flat head” appointment. All went very well, he doesn’t need a helmet but most likely he will just have a flat spot that his hair will cover up when he gets older. Bascially they are seeing a lot more of this since kids are sleeping on their backs. Also it’s more common in Asian and Samoan babies, just an evolution thing. Suzanne went along with me and after the appointment we shopped at the Goodwill and the Goodwill outlet store in Tacoma. I know it’s not fun for lots of people, but I was jazzed at all the kids clothes I got for cheap. I’m trying to collect up to 5T so I can get the bargains while they’re here. Thrifty, yes…hopefully the things I get them will still be somewhat in style when they are wearing the bigger sizes. 🙂

Wednesday night we started our Baby Sign Language class. It was GREAT! We have learned about 30 signs so far and it’s fun. Dominic and Carlos are doing amazing with it and Trey will get the idea here soon. The big boys think it’s fun, although Carlos hates when we do the “no” sign, as he thinks we’re mocking him. So far we know: more, milk, diaper, change, no, yes, counting 1-10, up, bedtime, toilet, eat, help, hurt, dirty, hot, cold, stop, and wait. We’re hoping to get family/friends onboard, too with the basic signs. Carlos will benefit most at this point, he’s so frustrated about not being able to be understood so this should help!

Hoping to get to see Brokeback Mountain with my mom tonight, then we’re headed over to my parent’s house tomorrow so Dee can help my dad build shelves in his garage. Then we’re going to take the boys bowling for the first time which should be interesting if nothing else! Have a great weekend…go Hawks!
