Dirty Diaper

Several months ago we decided to start using cloth diapers for our boys.  We started by ordering 6 Sunbaby diapers.  My first few days were a little tough with leaks and wash after wash of diapers at night.  By the end of the first week I was exhausted.  When I finally figured out that cloth don't last as long a disposables  things got a lot easier.  So we placed a second order and have now been cloth diapering both boys 99% of the time for about two weeks.  I can't say that I love it as it seems most other cloth diapering mamas do but I don't mind it either.  Washing diapers every two nights and doing 2 plus loads of laundry twice a week makes for a lot of laundry and a lot of going up and down stairs.  We are hoping to potty train Elias in the next few months so that should help.  All in all I really like Sunbaby diapers and will continue to cloth diaper.

Gardening 101

Thanks to some help from Elias we have peas, carrots, raddishes and lettuce already comping up and green beans, tomatoes, squash and watermelon left to plan.  I was surpassed to find my first radishes ready to pick a few weeks ago.  I have mostly killed plants in the past so planting a 20x20 garden was huge undertaking for me.  Elias loves to help though.  I think it's his favorite place to be when he goes outside.  Every morning he asked if we can "check the garden" which entails severals trucks, tractors, wagons and yard tools.  It's been a lot of fun so far!

Update

It's been awhile since I've posted anything and there is alot to be updated. Both on the blog page and in the happenings of our life. I'll start with life and eventually freshen up my blog page. Wow! Life with two kids! Twice as hard as life with one which is twice has hard as life as a married couple. But I LOVE my boys. Elias is becoming more of a boy and less of a baby each day which is bitter sweet. I miss him needing me but he is turning into such a fun kid. He loves tractors, trucks, bugs everythng boy. It melts my heart when he calls me "mommy" says "i lod u" and "God bess you". But he tops it off when he looks up at me puckers his lips and gives me a kiss. He loves being a big brother. He shares his toys with Kai, sings to him, looks for him every morning and kisses him as much as he can. Kai is my sweet little snuggle bug. He loves to be held close and smiles and laughs at practically anything. He has two dimples when he smiles and is just a happy little guy. I love how different they each are and how much they love eachother already. Life in general is starting to settle down as we fall into a new rythem. Adam is tilling our first ever garden as we speak and my first order of cloth diapers are on their way. I've also decided that having a pinterest account is pointless unless I make or do all of my pins. So this summer I am going to work my way through my board starting with my food board of course. Probablly a crazy idea with two small kids and one really big garden.

Real moms buy birthday presents 2 months in advance trying to plan ahead and take two weeks to wrap, address, and get the present to the post office. But it did make it!
