Slackin.

It's been a while. Blake had surgery Jan 18th, and has finally within the last few days started sleeping at night again. Not sleeping is really soul crushing. I feel a lot better with sleep, so I'm sure he does too. It has been a relaxing but busy few weeks. We have had lots of snow. LOTS. It is almost too much, the kids can't really go out in it to play, they just get stuck. Walking down the sidewalk must be really cool when your 3 feet tall, you would feel like your in a tunnel. So I have lots of pictures to upload since I did really try hard to stick to the "photo a day" thing. But they are in no special order.

Alexa with her friends Pony Boy and Story, checking out Zelda on the Wii.

Boy child at the hospital. Notice the plastic knife in the first picture, he was really determined to cut off his IV. He even asked the nurse for scissors while I went to grab lunch.

 We have been reading lots of books. Alexa likes to pretend shes the "teacher" and has Blake sit and listen to her. He usually doesn't have the patience to sit thru the entire book.

 Top 2, Alexa built a fairy house out of the stuff in the recycle bin. Bottom 2, Blake building cities with blocks then knocking them down.

I've been busy too. I put up this shelf above my washing machine to hold all my soap. Even tho I don't have anyone in diapers anymore, we still use and LOVE Rockin Green  laundry soap. I don't use bleach for laundry but it just hangs out up there so its safe and out of the way.

Top: snowday project. A for Alexa, B for Blake. Bottom. My van in the middle. more snow...

Blake moved into Alexa's room. Here is his area. (note, the space heater was not plugged in and is not run that close to the bed)

I finally got around to getting Alexa new earrings. One weekend I picked her up after work and noticed her ear was red, swollen and infected. So I got rid of the gold studs and got her better earrings. These just happen to have Invader Zim on them. Blake calls Zim "ZOOM the puppy"

I got birthday breakfast, a week after my birthday, but that's ok. I'm 24 now!!

Speaking of me, I decided I wanted dreads again, the last set only lasted a month, I'm on 2 weeks with this set, and I already like them 10x better. They are sectioned well, and I really think they will turn out awesome. Plus I have my own idea of beauty.



Last but not least, I finally went out to a show friday! I saw Filthy Still at Cafe 9. Mark also played a song with them, which can be found here. It was my first time testing out my iphone video camera.
