A great weekend...and then came Monday

We had a great weekend.  Jordan has a big project going on right now and so it was so encouraging Friday to get the news that he passed the FE exam that he took back in April. I am so happy for him; it is such a weight off his mind!
Jonah finally got to have his long time promised sleep over with his best buddie on Friday night.  It was fun to watch those little guys play.  I got to spend a lot of time with Audrey since she was the third wheel!  Reuben was back to normal after what was weeks of not feeling well due to teeth and then that crazy virus.  I told Jordan is was so nice to enjoy him again. 
Jordan and I got to get away on Sunday thanks to my sisters' provision of childcare!  We went to a Dino concert and out to supper.  Not for everyone, but we enjoyed ourselves!  Jordan was a little worried I was going to fall asleep, but a piano concert is very relaxing!  We were not your average attendee.  Most were a bit "wiser" than we.  I told Jordan it would have been interesting to take a survey to see if more people were on Lipitor or Boniva!
I spent much of the weekend getting ready for Monday: the first day of kindergarten.  We are starting early since we may take a longer Christmas break!  I was excited and wanted to make it as special for Jonah as possible. This morning I felt ready.  Jonah woke up on the wrong side of the bed.  I do not know what his deal was.  I emailed Jordan this afternoon and asked him if we were planning on helping Jonah with any college tuition because that was the only privilege he left that I hadn't taken away from him as consequences for his attitude and actions.  Yikes!  Tomorrow has to be a better day!

Cloth Diapers, here I come?

This may be a boring blog entry, but no one is forcing you to read this so here it goes! A friend asked me a few years back "Have you ever thought about switching to cloth diapers?" "Are you crazy? No!" was my oh too quick response.  I had been around cloth diapers just enough to know that they were no longer pins and rubber pants like the good old days, but I had no intention of going down that road. I had heard people talk of wet bags and hemp inserts and did not wish to complicate my life in that way. Something changed, however, somewhere in during my third pregnancy. I think it was fearing that I would be buying diapers the rest of my life. I looked into it, but just enough to be sticker shocked by the "Cadillac" of cloth diapers ($20 a diaper!) I thought that it was going to be a huge investment and not worth the hassle since I hadn't started with Jonah.  I did however go back to my friend and tell her that I no longer thought that she was crazy...

Vos, Party of 6

I have been thinking about what to do with this blog post for a while now.  I have had various ideas what to say and how to say it.  I think that the best way is to do a FAQ list.  Here is everything that you may (and more likely than not may not) want to know. There is a couple of dangers in doing this specific post.  1)I don't want it to come across that I do not want to talk about the baby since I am writing about it.  I just was afraid that much of the conversation would get lost in cyberspace since we were announcing electronically.  2) I can be a little sarcastic at times and people might "hear" bitterness in some of my answers, but there is none there!  I did my best to proof this so that I do not offend anyone.  When are you due?   My EDD is December 29th.  Jordan thinks this is perfect as long as I have the baby by the 31st.  That way he gets the tax credit this year and gets to pay for it with Flex next y...
