Bargain Shopping

Sometimes a good deal really is too good to be true.

Five years ago right after we moved into our house we bought a new faucet for the kitchen. The builder provided faucet wasn't fancy and we (I) really wanted one with a handle that pulled out. We were shopping with friends and found a faucet on clearance for $35. We thought we hit the jackpot that day. Five years later we now see why it was only $35. The plating around the base was chipping off and for a few days the joint between the handle and the extension hose would spray a bit when you changed between a solid stream and the broad spray of water. Then last Sunday it finally had enough. Eric was rinsing something off in the sink and the handle completely came off. The fun part was the fountain of water that shot across the kitchen towards the stove. You couldn't help but laugh. Eric discovered that the sink was still usable if you held the handle in place while running the water. So Sunday night we were still able to wash the bottles in the kitchen. Monday at lunch I had the fun task of shopping for a new faucet that Eric installed in the evening. The installation only required one trip to the store to purchase an adapter to connect the faucet hose to the shutoff valve under the sink.

On Sunday the babies were having a great time playing around the back window, they looked cute so I had to take some pictures.

35 Weeks

A couple weeks ago while in the hospital I was just hoping to make it to 34 weeks, and here we are at 35 weeks...only 8 more days to go. I had a doctor appointment on Friday and the babies still looked great, so it's up to me to take it easy for one more week and drink a whole bunch of water to keep the contractions away. My belly is really starting to feel heavy when I stand up and while sitting, as it rests on my legs. In all I'm still not all too uncomfortable. Yesterday was my 29th birthday. I was thinking about how people always want to reflect back and say they are still 29...I'm sure my hugeness isn't what they are imagining. I've been upstairs for the most part lately, avoiding the steps. So instead of taking my pictures in my usual spot I had to find someplace upstairs. I'm in front of the babies room door. For fun I took pictures from every angle. Hopefully I'll get one more set of pictures next week.

Yarrrr

It was a nice day and we couldn't help but take our little buccaneers to the park and of course by the water. Yes, today was talk like a pirate day...yarrr. We've been working on getting them to hold our hand while walking in public. If they don't hold our hand they get carried. Their response was if, if you are going to hold my hand I'm going to sit. Two of them sat half way across the bridge so we had the third sit and hoped to get a picture of all three. The following pictures are what we ended up with.

The Floor

For some reason it is just so much fun to throw food on the floor... The babies have gotten really bad over the last few days about throwing food on the floor. They will scoop up huge hand fulls of food and just chuck it. The other day I came up with a solution that seemed to work, I gave them spoons. I helped them put food on the spoon and get it into their mouths. Ethan was even picking up food and placing it on his spoon and tried to get it into his mouth. I just hope the novelty of the spoon doesn't wear off too soon, Missy (our dog) is getting a little chunky. Ethan Logan Leah
