The Parasite Plague

April is shaping up to be one hell of time for the head parasites. A week ago I enjoyed pulling a tick from Jack's head, and Wednesday a note attached to the girls' bedding stated that lice was discovered on a 2 year-old at the school. I'll be looking for nits for the remainder of the month.

Back to the tick. It was Amy's first experience with the blood-suckers. I'm pretty sure we got it two weeks prior at Grandpa and Grandma's house. I will state proudly that I was able to remove the tick with its head I intact.

Dad scores a point. Ding!

Since my last post the twins leveled to 3 years-old and I put some Ikea furniture together. I live one hell of an exciting life.

Mild Winter of 2012

To say this is a mild winter is a bit of an understatement.  I think we've had maybe 3 days that require a coat in the morning, followed by a heavy second shirt and a maybe a light jacket early afternoon.  

Skyler is our last kid that utilizes a diaper in any fashion.  Ollie went underwear at bedtime weekend or two ago, and we have been mess free.  Sky, well Sky marches at her own pace and could care less about what her sister does.  Diapers are the easy alternative, and you don't have to worry about missing Dora or Diego shows when nature calls.  

Have a Good Weekend

I'm actually between loads of laundry, and getting ready to pick up kids from school. Our warm and beautiful winter is allowing us a trip to the park before dinner. In the mean time, here is a quick collage of my oldest over the past 5 years. It goes so fast.

Happy 2nd New Years! Year of the Dragon.

Jack's Art Gallery: Fall 2011

Last Fall we enrolled Jack into an art class where he was introduced and played with several different types of media. It ranged from watercolor, pastels, oils, clay, and some type of colorful puddy for food magnets. He loved it and we have him the next level this spring. I have his art at this link.
