5 Things

1.  My girls went to Michigan with their cousins after the Baptism for a few days.  Chris just left to bring them home.  I have really missed them.  I am a hormonal mess--I want my children with me.  Plus Gus is high maintenance and I'm tired.  His sisters help me so much more than I realize.

2.  Theo had a very bad day yesterday.  Lots of tears (me and him).  Last night was great.  Were we both tired from a day of hysteria?

3.  We decided to cloth diaper Theo.  I love it!  I wish that we would have jumped on this bandwagon babies ago.  It is really easy.  And the cloth diaper bum?  So cute.  I have lots of disposable wipes left over from diapering Gus.  I plan to make some cloth wipes (fleece or flannel?) when they run out.  They will be easier than disposable--tuck them right into the dirty cloth diaper.  Done! 

4.  School starts for us next week.  I am desperately craving our school schedule.  Our children's behavior has been crumbling with with all the free time that they have had this summer.  I miss the busy cadence of our school days--piano, math, Latin, etc., lunch, dinner, showers, bedtime, REPEAT.

5.  My husband is so great.  I love him and he loves me back.

#1. Thanks for sharing the girls. They had a great time. There was much crying (albeit fake) when we insisted on departure.

#2. So sorry. Theo's just figuring out the world maybe? Was the picture of Chris and Theo his way of giving you a break?

#3. I liked it too. But not enough to have another child. :) Although Claire thinks I should - Quote: "You should have five children, Aunt Jeannette! It's never boring."

#4. I agree. Although I have a lot to do this week, I'm ready for routine. Thanks for remembering the Astronomy book.

#5. Yeah - he's pretty great. It was wonderful to be together last weekend. I'll look forward to the next occasion.

You're the world's most adorable couple ever. For the record.

The big reason I did cloth diapers is that they are so darn adorable. I never minded washing them, and they are so cuddly and cute on their little bums.

I preferred flannel for the wipes myself.
