bookcrossing

So we went out to eat tonight. Thank you playgroup for bringing up Outback cheese fries:) And as I was getting us a table Jack went over to where they have the kids stuff. He brought a book with him to the table. I asked him why. He pushes the book over to me, "A Wind in the Door" by Madeline L'Engle. Can I tell you how much I loved these books. Then I notice a sticker on it
Thanks for finding me!
Please take me home with you!
It is a part of www.bookcrossing.com You register books and then set them free for other people to find and read and enjoy. I am so looking forward to sitting down with the girls and reading it. I am going to check out the first one first. I am kinda weird about reading books in order. So I want to thank the person who sent this book on it's journey. I want to thank the people who brought up Outback yesterday. We have decide that instead of donating books from now on we are going to bookcross them. The idea is sooooo cool! I can't wait until after we are done an can set it back on its journey. I am sure the girls are going to have fun trying to figure out where to leave it.

World Night of Henna

http://www.worldnightofhenna.com/
So, even though I am still not so great, I participated. I am donating the money I earned to La Leche League of Poulsbo. It was a lot of fun and I got to do designs that I normally don't get to do. The last picture is super sweet. Not only does Gwen beg for henna, she seems to want to be an artist also:)

Walking

So it took Gwen awhile. She was taking steps every so often but she never wanted to really walk. And then one day I wet through and cleared the floor and we kept it that way. I was going to steam clean, it ended up not happening, made cheesecake instead. And what happens, she decides that she will not crawl an inch. but then two days later when the floor is covered, back to crawling. I can't say I blame her too much.




I got to do this last night and Jack was so impressed, i have 20 pictures of it:) I am pretty happy with it also. It was kinda hard to do my shoulder.

Happy Daddy's day!!!

This is an amazingly sweet picture I caught since I woke up at like 530. Layla comes into our room a lot. She says she doesn't get much time with daddy so she needs to sleep next to him. Doesn't Gwen look huge in this picture? I think babies grow when they are sleeping next to you. That is how she sleeps by the way, she cannot be covered by the covers, she has to be on top of them. Which means I end up with almost no covers. Oh well, right?




And is this not the sweetest thing ever? They are hennaing each other with lotion.



My henna girl, she insists on getting henna, even if it is just lotion, if it is coming out of a cone, it must be on her!




And you know for a 6 yr old, just starting, she really is pretty good, don't you think?

Fun

So yeah, Gwen wasn't going to stay on the tarp, or the grass, or even the ground. She went right to the playground when we got there and staring climbing the stairs. She really had a blast playing with her sisters. It is kinda scary, but I tried to not freak. The only really scary moment was when she tried to climb off and it was about a 4 foot drop to the ground. Natalie got her before she went over though. Her favorite thing ever though was climbing up the slide and sliding back down. Se amused herself for awhile playing.



I did this yesterday. i am kinda proud of it. I am having lots of fun and have a lot more confidence not following a design perfectly.


Natalie got my camera yesterday also. I am not sure why but i really like this shot she got of Gwen. Poor Gwen was sooo ready for a nap. She sat on the grass kinda out f it for awhile. She plays hard

Oh yeah? Well, my baby does shots...

Chug Baby!! Chug!!!



And done!!! unfortunatly, she just had sausage as a chaser...


and just in case you think I am serious, I am not. That is just water. Shot glasses make great baby glasses. They are usually pretty thick, think they can't break when people drop them when they are drunk...and they are just the right size for little hands and mouths. Also they hold just enough water to get outfits wet, not the entire floor. She loves shot glasses more than her sippy which I am glad. Neither of the other girls really had a sippy.

I have lots of pictures of recent henna but had to show this one. It is actually an advanced design, had to see if I could do it. It actually turned out alright, Most of the smudges are actually from me trying to do my own hand. I am decently happy with it though. I am getting better, happy dance:)

almond roca

why why why is almond roca so good?I got another can of it and I have eaten too much of it already. But really, it is sooooo gooooooddddd. I am going to post a few pictures though this time. I am not going to ramble on about almond roca for a whole post, though I could. Can I tell ya'll that eating without braces is absolutely wonderful? Not having rice getting stuck, biting into carrots. Really, wonderful. I am happy.

so a flower Jack let me doodle on his back.

Gwen helping daddy brew



The girls actually did help. They capped bottles and then wrote PC, or CP on the bottles. Jack made prune chocolate beer. Yeah, not trying that. He says it is drinkable, but could use a cheesecake...

Gwen getting into my marshmellow fruity salad type very bd for you stuff at the park while I henna a belly.
