Weekend Fun

We have been trying to fix up our backyard so that the kids can run around free without me shouting No every other second. Aiden and Mia LOVE it outside. Mia even refused to eat lunch since I made her come back inside to eat it. I tried a two piece bathing suit out on Mia and am switching back to a one piece (I think the picture explains why). I thought Aiden was going to be as pale as me, but just a few days in the sun and he is already many shades darker. I envy people who tan. I bring Sethers out to visit but while I am off chasing the other two he manages to get back inside. I think he will learn to like it outside, but just at his own pace.

Hand Stamped

We had some more concrete poured this Saturday. I think that is all the concrete we will do in awhile. It is just finishing up a path around our house and a little section just before the gate leading to the front of the house. After this sets up, we will have a gate put up that will block Roxy to the side of the house when she is outside. This will free up the back yard to Troop Delgado. No dog poop to step in, yay! Dad had every baby put their hand print in the sidewalk.

Luv me some chicken nuggets!

Mia's favorite food is chicken nuggets. This girl loves to eat, eat and eat! She is by far a better chewer than her brothers, maybe having all her teeth helps. It is amazing how skinny she is despite the fact she eats at least twice as much as her brothers. I am still working on her eating etiquette, though. I may not be the best role model for her in that area.

Mia's Hair

Mia's hair is getting long enough towards the back for a pony tail. Her bangs are still very short, but are coming in slowly. I have never been one to do my hair. I have always been a big tomboy, roughing around with my brothers. I would not let my mom touch my hair, in fact, the only one that ever really styled it was my cousin, Amy. So I need to try harder with Mia's hair. Luckily, she has two big sisters to help, as well. Here was my first try.

Happy Calm Easter...kinda

This year has been a bit different...not my traditional spend time with the family type of Easter. We have three sick babies that just don't seem to get better. Dealing with a household of six kids and a husband recovering from surgery has proven to be very hard this past week. Anthony is doing better from his nose surgery. Hopefully this will help with his severe sleep apnea. It has been hard dealing with the everyday drama of teens and taking care of sick toddlers. Seth came down with croup on Friday, making it extra stressful. I wish I could just transfer it from him to me so he could get better.
This time makes me realize how blessed my childhood was. Easter was my favorite time to be hanging out with family in Clifton Heights, PA. Even though I hated hard boiled eggs, I loved when grandma would come around and give us a sloppy kiss and some good old egg to eat. I really miss the pierogies she would get from the nuns, too. Next year will be better, hopefully, everyone won't be sick again!
