Pink eye, that's what's going around our house now. Andrew got it first and tonight Alex is showing signs. I am not sure how that will be working for church tomorrow, but I guess we will figure it out. Thankfully my very sweet pediatrician gave me 3 refills on the antibiotics so that when it did get passed around I could get the meds without another Dr. visit.
We finally got our garden started today. I bought plants 2 weeks ago because they were buy one get one free at Home Depot. I couldn't pass them up so I bought about 10 plants. Their seed packets were also buy one get one free, so I bought about 10 different kinds of seeds and the little cups to start them in.
It's a good thing we weren't ready to plan a garden as 2 days later it snowed. Then it snowed again the next week. I just hope we are past the freezes. The lows are in the 30's but they aren't below freezing so hopefully we can save the plants we have.
My husband and older boys built me a 4x4 planter today and we got soil to fill it. We have enough soil left over to fill another 4x4 box so I think we will get the wood and make another one tomorrow. Then get some more plants. The plants I had barely filled the box we have, but I am hopeful that we can produce some veggies this summer. I have a very black thumb so it is going to require some hard work, but we are going to work it into homeschool so that should give us a daily reason to all go out there to water, weed and check our progress.
If I can just keeps Tyler from digging in the big box of dirt we should be okay. Hopefully the local stores will get something besides tomato plants in soon. That seems to be all they have and I really and not keen on tomatoes.
Other than that life keeps moving on. Ryan is trying very hard to walk. He stands up and walks along things. Sometimes he feels brave enough to let go for a few seconds and try to balance, but that is as far as he has gotten. I know it will come soon and I am not sure I am ready. He loves the stairs and would spend all day climbing them if I had time to just follow him up and down. I don't so he usually only gets a few runs a day, then the gate goes up and he has to find something else to do.
He is starting to get some strong opinions, he knows what he doesn't want and say "No No No". Usually this is in response to some food we are trying to feed him. I guess if he can survive on graham crackers and yogurt he will be okay. That seems to be all he eats. I have been making muffins lately and he loves those. The other morning he had 3 blueberry muffins and a cup of yogurt. Too bad he doesn't usually eat what we have for dinner. He doesn't like veggies or meat. Breads and dairy are what most of his meals consist of. You would think he would be gaining weight on that diet (I would be), but he doesn't seem to gain weight very fast. I am not worried though, he can stay little as long as he like. I am not ready to give up my baby yet.

Can't find my pictures!
My computer is trying to make me crazy!! I can't find any of the recent photos I downloaded. The computer always sends my photos to the same place and now it has decided to do something different! Why do they do that?
So Ryan was sick a few weeks ago. He got the flu, then he gave it to me! As soon as we were both on the mend, Alex got it. Thankfully no one else got it, but it was a long week. Then Andrew started having stomach pains. At first we thought he was faking because he would remember them when it was time to do school work. But I took him to the store on Tuesday and he was rolling around on the floor, sitting on anything he thought he could sit on or doubled over. He asked me if he could go to the doctor. I figured if an 8 year old asks if he can see the doctor he isn't faking. I made an appointment for him to see the doctor the next day. That evening I thought maybe it is just gas pain so I went to the store and bought some infant gas drops as they only had infant or adult. We gave him a triple dose and that seemed to help a lot. The next day he still wanted to see the doctor. She couldn't find anything wrong with him and suggested we get adult strength Gas-X and see if that works. So we did and for a few days he seemed addicted to the pills. He was very concerned about when he was getting one and if I had them with me, but that passed and he is better now. He still doesn't want to do his school work. He says he just doesn't want to do any school, home or public. If only it was that easy!
So everyone is healthy again. I have been juggling all my commitments and adding a few more. We are doing okay with home school, but we are way behind, I am not sure he will get out of 2nd grade before the end of 3rd grade. Hopefully we can pick up the pace and get everything finished. Tyler is learning to count but the letters don't seem to be sinking in. Alex is doing great and should be ready to tackle kindergarten next year.
I am happy spring is almost here, the home-school academy we attend once a week will end March 18th. Only 4 more classes left. Then preschool co-op will end in May as will MOPS. Then we are free to finish our year and start next year without all of these existing commitments. I can't wait!!
I got a Cricut for my birthday and I am trying to find time to get back to my scrapbooking. I also want to make some cards and do some home decorating with it. I just have to pace myself in buying cartridges for it. They run about $35 on eBay and I have been a little over zealous in buying them so far. I have to slow down before I bankrupt us or crafting supplies. If I can only find where the computer hid all my new photos I would be doing great!
