Amazed!!!

So tonnes has happened for us since my last post. We have purchased a house in Golden - 3000sq/ft on 2 acres! Lots of room for all the kids to run around! We took possession of it on March 3. The only thing that irritates me now is that we are still in the north but are paying for a house in the south! The kids and I are definately going to be gone by the end of April. The hubbs may or may not be coming with us right away. If we can get a moving truck to come and get our stuff when I go with the kids then Hubbs will drive down with us and fly back up here until they let him go. If they don't send a truck for us then the kids and I will fly down and stay with hubbs parents till he can drive our truck and trailer down with the moving truck. So needless to say its frustrating being all up in the air and stuff! Probably doesn't help every person we know asking if we have heard anything yet. The next five weeks are going to fly by anyway!

Our boys both have had a birthday since my last post. Zachary turned 3 on January 27 and Ryley turned 1 on February 18. How time flies! Ryley has been walking since the middle of January - he loves his new found freedom! Zachary started playgroup with Danica. He goes to school now to see "his boys".

I am starting to round out quite nicely now! I had an ultrasound at the beginning of February - there is only 1!!! I am 24 weeks preggers now! Finally started to feel the baby move a lot more than I have been. The other 3 were really active and I felt them real good by 20 weeks but I guess with this one I'm a little more stretched out and so I felt it move at 20 weeks but not nearly as much as the other three. I have been feeling great, and am one of the lucky ones who bypassed the morning sickness with all four pregnancies!

Danica is sporting a nice new pixie cut to her hair. The other day I was making dinner and she asked if she could use the scissors to cut her paper. So up to the table she goes scissors in one hand and construction paper in the other. Zach was at the other end coloring. She sat there and cut her paper while I made supper. When dinner was ready I told them to get their stuff cleaned up so she swooped everything into the garbage for me and then I put the plates in front of them. After dinner I cleaned up and told the kids to go and get their pj's on it was time for a story and bed. This happened all in the process of about 2-3 hours. So after I sent the kids to their bed I went to the kitchen to put a diaper in the garbage (i was taking it out) and looked in the can and here is a little bit of hair! So I thought ok Dani cut a bit of her hair to test it out and see what would happen - no point in getting mad. For starters - whats done is done and what little kid has not cut their own hair. Its almost a right of passage right! So I asked "Dani, did you cut your hair?" and the reply was "ya, mom I did cause it was in my mouth and I didn't like it in my mouth!" So I asked to see where she cut it. So she rolls over in her bed and here I am expecting to see a little chunk missing what I was NOT EXPECTING was to see the whole left side of her head missing hair!!!! She had cut everything!!!! So after I laughed with her about it reassured her that she would not look like a boy after she goes to the hair dresser the next day and told her to never cut her own hair again I went back to the garbage. She had chunks of hair between pieces of paper. It looked like she had cut some paper, cut some hair, cut more paper, cut more hair...... Anyway the new cut she has looks so cute on her - it is very suiting!

I took the kids into Whitehorse this past weekend. Wanted to go in and hang out with some friends, go see the doc, and do some shopping. I jumped out and scared one of my friends kids - I didn't think he would react the way he did - he was pissed at me! Anyway I told my other friend that I felt bad cause I had scared the shit out of this kid. So the next day we are getting ready to go and I overhear Dani and Zach playing. Dani says to Zach "BOO ZACHY!!! I scared you so bad the shit came right out of your bum!!!!" Do you think maybe my kid might be just a little bit too much like her mother! After I composed myself I had a little chat with her about the "bad" words - so need less to say I am reminded on a daily basis now about the bad words!

You know I went to the drive through in Whitehorse one to many times when the kids are asking if we can get food from the window instead of going inside. So today it was confirmed one to many times when the kids are driving the dump trucks around the house and "pulling up to the window" which just so happens to be a telephone jack with a sliding opening on it, to order orange juice and alphagetties! They pick up so much so fast!

Anyway I worked night shift last night so I am going to go and take five on the couch and try my parenting skills from there! More later!
