Just Too Good....

Maxine on Government Healthcare.....

Once again Maxine says it best!
Now, let me get this straight......we're trying to pass a health care plan written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that hasn't read it but exempts themselves from it, to be signed by a president that also is exempt from it and hasn't read it and who smokes, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, all to beoverseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's broke.
What the hell could possibly go wrong?

5 Sure Signs of Spring....

I meant to post this on Saturday, which was the first day of Spring. I took all these pictures on that day.

1. A snow covered dog begging to be let in. 2. A stir Crazy Hubby who would rather be planting a garden, instead he is watching the snow fall.
3. We are ready to trade these boots for.....

These Boots!

4. Tulips in my windowsill.

And on my Table

5. I can't take a picture of it but We are suffering allergies and 65MPH winds. Yep, It's spring!

Pumpkin Pants + Fuzzi Bunz = AWESOME!!!!

I guess I had better explain myself. I have been toying with the idea of cloth diapering for quite sometime. Kaleb turned 8 months yesterday....in his 8 months we have spent a fortune in diapers. We can not find one that doesn't make Kaleb get a rash on his body. He is very sensitive to the filler in the diapers. We have tried them all....natural and unnatural brands. The other thing is Kaleb is a very HEAVY wetter, leaking through most disposables. I decided to give cloth a try. I have have gotten just a handful of different brands/types. I have some Bummis prefolds and covers. I have one Bamboo fitted diaper that needs covered. I have 2 Bumgenius pocket diapers. Last but not least I have 1 Fuzzi Bunz perfect fit pocket diaper. I am not a huge fan of the Bummis. They are pretty bulky and the covers are a crap shoot in fitting well. The Bumgenius is ok..... I like it, but it is also bulky. I love the Bamboo one.....but put a cover on it and once again too bulky. I LOVE MY FUZZI BUNZ! It isn't a one size diaper, so it doesn't have a whole lot of extra to it. I would gladly trade all of my Bummis for the Fuzzi Bunz perfect fit diaper. I have been doing some Internet searching trying to find a different type of cover that won't make the bamboo one so bulky. I stumbled across Pumpkin Pants by Jenoa.
http://www.etsy.com/shop/jenoahp She made Kaleb a pair of Longies in fleece. I am not a huge fan of wool so I liked this option. I was able to put Kaleb in the Bamboo diaper and these longies with out any soaking messes. The fleece held the wet in. I LOVE THESE! Thanks Jenoa, I will be back for more!
Here is the one Fuzzi Bunz that I have. Very trim and fitted, NO BULK. I would recommend these to anyone who is interested in Cloth diapers.

Of course when you cloth diaper, you must be careful of the type of laundry detergent you use. I usually use Seventh Generation scent free. While this works just fine, sometimes I feel like I have to use way too much soap to get our clothes and now diapers clean. Dalayna suggested that I try using Crunchy Clean, so I ordered a few sample packs. Once again I am really impressed. I am not a huge fan of the essential oils they promote as I use Young Living Essential Oils. YL Oils are far more pure than their brand. http://luv2oil.younglivingworld.com That being said, I do love the Clean of Crunchy Clean , I just stick to their unscented and plain version. Check them out at: http://www.crunchyclean.com/

Anyone have any Fuzzi Bunz they don't want?????

Lions & Tigers &........KIDS OH MY!

Last month we had lunch at the Elephant Bar. The Kids were given these cool glasses to help keep them busy.

What Kaleb Is Up To.....

Looks like TROUBLE to me! He is Just barely 7 months old. He has been crawling for 2 1/2 weeks and now he thinks he is ready to walk???????? AAAAAHHHHH! After a heart stopping moment of realization that he did this all by himself....I grabbed the camera. I foresee the crib being lowered in the immediate future.

Question of the day...

Spring Has Sprung!...

Can you feel it? Spring is here..... Go Karts to be raced, Tractors plowing, gardens being planted, houses needing scrubbed to a shine, tulips blooming, grass turning green, baby chicks hatching..... Oh the many things of spring. It's here, it REALLY is!

Awwww SHUCKS! I guess the chicks gave me spring fever. It is snowing here today. I got a 5 a.m. call this morning informing me that my chicks were at the post office. I guess I just started dreaming of Spring. It can't be that far off can it?

WHERE HAVE ALL THE BLOGGERS GONE????

Am I the last remaining blogger holdout? Is Facebook really that good? I am beginning to wonder......after all I updated a week ago with some pictures of my super cute kids. How many comments did I get in a week????? ONE- Thanks Maxine! I know I've been a bit slow updating....but really if I don't have blog readers what is the point of blogging? The fate of my blog may be in your hands......Say Hi and let me know I'm not really alone in blogland.
