Hello Everyone! The big day is finally here! A blog is born. Yippee!!! And what better day to be born than Earth Day?!?! (I'll surely remember the anniversary!) Anyway, I had big plans for Earth Day this year. We were going to get one of our garden plots started. However, I have done something to myself. I'm not sure what. My neck is really just wrong. I've been to the chiropractor 5 times in the last 3 days. Yes, it's that bad. On the mend now though. Just no heavy lifting or dirt turning. So..... A Fipper Show update.
It's been a pretty busy month. (Has it really been over a month already?) Here's a quick overview...
It's been a pretty busy month. (Has it really been over a month already?) Here's a quick overview...
We went to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science with Maddie, Emily and Robin.
The zoo a few times.
Our sweet Ruby had a birthday. The big 3.
Easter.
Nana's 70th birthday surprise.
Snow Days.
And yes, she was a miserable as she looks in this picture.
And endless playdates with friends.
The kids are doing pretty well. Lets start with Fisher shall we...
He's getting really big! It's funny, sometimes I look at him and I just can't believe how much he's grown. Then he gets all, "Mom, why are you looking at me all weird?" Grown. He's still really into dinosaurs. He says he wants to dig for dinosaur bones when he grows up. And don't even kid yourself....he'll school you on dinosaurs. He knows stuff. I could get one of his books out and type out all these names - he'll totally know what I'm talking about. But you (probably) will not.
We've started dabbling in paper mache. It's awesome. We made dinosaur eggs for Easter decorations. I'm planning on doing some paper mache train tunnels for his little wooden trains. We also have some science experiments planned. I'll post about those later.
His biggest project right now is his apple tree. He was eating an apple one day and started connecting the dots with the seeds inside and growing things in the garden. (Yay!) He worked really hard to get a seed out. He then proceeded to go outside, get a bucket from his sandbox, fill it with crappy yard dirt, and plant the seed. He's been nurturing, watering, and checking it everyday. You'll all be happy to know, it's now about 2 and a half inches tall.
Miss Pipey has had an eventful few weeks. After MUCH thought and struggle (on my part) with the decision in front of us, we decided to have ear tubes put in. Once we made the decision, it instantly felt like the right one. So, April 12th, Piper had surgery. It was very quick and not a big deal. (to everyone but me) She woke up cranky and hurting. By the time nap was over, she was totally fine. The. Same. Day. She is so much better it's crazy. I can't even count how many times I've had to pull out all 4 names cause she's been in trouble. She just grins and looks at me like, "what?, I finally feel good enough to get in trouble." So, that should be fun.
She's got a mouth full of teeth. She charms everyone she meets. And she loves Bob more than she loves the rest of us. (but, that's okay - for now)
James is working. Working working working. It's a very stressful time at the job right now. We've also been told to expect Gunnison again. And that, my friends, is an 18 month job. Yes, that's what I said. 18 months. The ONLY other option in construction right now is a layoff. So, we are looking at making the best of a not-so-awesome situation. Again. It'll be great....right?
As for me, I've just been gardening, crafting, and sewing up a storm. I'm seriously considering a crafty blog in addition to this one. So, I'll keep you posted. I may just show you all the things I've been working on here. Piper is getting big enough that I can do stuff without having her on my lap. (sewing with her on my lap wasn't easy) So, more crafty to come, I'm sure.
Well, there it is folks. My update. Now, if I can just figure out how to attach the pictures we'll be in business.
See you.
