Today

Today...
We had happy tummy time!
Today...
All three looked like this, AT THE SAME TIME!

Today...during naptime I was able to do this...

What is that you ask??? Are you sitting down? Yes, that is a clean kitchen. I know, its a lot to take in :)

Today...the kids actually has a decent amount of veggies and fruit, without a fight. I came across this cute idea from Gourmet Mom on the Go. I printed off this little poem... Then you put a different fruit or veggie in each hole of a cupcake pan, and covered the entire pan in tissue paper. (I forgot to take a picture). Then according to the poem, you "dig" in each hole, and help Peter Rabbit remember what he planted in each hole. I had them eat everything that was in a hole, before they could "dig" in the next hole, except for the snow peas (they had to take 3 bites)..they are not fans of snow peas apparently. Here is Kyle chowing down on his broccoli.This was what was left after they finished digging. They loved digging, and there was no forcing them to eat it. Today... the crazies played outside for over an hour, as happy as could be!Today...I found my little corn seeds popping through the ground!Today... I found my first little bell pepper of the season.Today...our prayers were answered. Do you see this little nifty machine. It is Carters feeding pump. We also have this backpack, which allows us be able to leave the house and still feed Carter. On Saturday we were out and about, and somehow, we lost it. We called the company and we were told the cost to replace it. Any guesses how much that might be? Now think higher. Higher. $3300!! Karl backtracked our route over and over, and found nothing. The feeding pump did not have our name on it, but it did have the number for the home heathcare company. So we had to just hope, that someone would call the company and turn it in. We called the police department, the sherriffs department, and put an ad on craigs list. Well 5 days later, still nothing. The company sent us a replacement pump, and we tried to think on how we were going to pay for it. Then this afternoon, the heathcare company called and said that someone called and said they found our backpack!!! I can't even begin to describe the amazing amount of relief that came with that phonecall!

Today....was a good day!

A clean kitchen - that is something I haven't accomplished for a long time. I am glad someone found and returned the backpack.

Cleanliness is next to Godliness unless you have kids then it is next to impossible.
