"Fuuu", blow the dust off this blog.

So I'm lying in bed one night about to fall asleep when I hear a tiny little voice somewhere in my house.  It's so quiet I think I'm the only one who hears it.  It sounds like,

"hello? hello Jill? are you still there? it's me, your blog. I miss you, please come write something on my virtual pages."

Oh blog, I'm so sorry I've neglected you, I will try to be better in the future.

So let me blow the dust off this blog and wipe the cobwebs out of the corners...

I'M BACK!!!!

For the week of March 25:

Abby is on Spring Break this week and next, she is already bored.  In the last day and a half she has asked to go to Chuck E Cheese, the zoo, Target, swimming, a friend's house, play in the sprinklers and do her nails (among other things.)  She and Eli play really well for a little while, leaving a trail of destruction in their path, then fight.  This sibling thing is something new for me, I'm just kind of winging it.  She is looking forward to a tea party birthday party this week, my little social butterfly.

Eli is potty trained (daytime only) with about a 96% consistency rate, sometimes he gets a little distracted and wets his pants.  It's funny when he yells, "I haffa go potty!" from across the room then runs to the bathroom with his pants and underwear around his knees... wait to pull them down until you get to the bathroom boy, that's not going to fly in Target son.

Hannah has physical therapy tomorrow, the therapist comes to our house and spends an hour with her every week giving me a few exercises and tips to try and help Hannah.  She has really developed a lot of strength in the last few weeks and is close to sitting up.  She rolls everywhere and has started to eat better.  Thursday we visit her pediatrician for a weight check.  I'm really hoping this time he says the NG tube can come out for good.  Oh yeah, and she's getting her first tooth.  Doesn't seem to be bothering her much.  I'm a little bummed, I love big gummy toothless smiles.  Oh well, it had to happen eventually.

Jeremiah spent this afternoon in our garden.  Last year we had a huge weed problem, and since I was hugely pregnant I wasn't much help.  I have no excuse this year, so I guess I will be out there working on our veggies again.  

I have been inspired by lots of different stuff I've seen on Pinterest (worse than crack) and so I've got a few crafts and projects and such in the works.  Depending on how they go I may post my successes here.  Lately I've been working on a plan to keep our house picked up and somewhat in order.  I've divided our house into several zones and pick up each zone on a certain day, sometimes I even have time to clean that zone, but not always, kids happen you know.  

It's Sunday night, which means breakfast for dinner.  Time to plug in the toaster for frozen waffles, tonight is not a recipe-from-pinterest night.  

What's everyone else been up too?  Anyone doing anything fun for Spring Break?
