My parents had a great 40th celebration. We all went to church where they renewed their vows although within the first 3 minutes I had to take baby outside because my 17 year old nefew decided to make fun of him and he started crying. Thanks Nick! It was soooo hot out and Baby kept running into all the cars with the stroller. I tried to keep him buzy and I even let him wonder a bit by himself but I was not able to take him back into church.
After that we all went to the Olive Garden for lunch. Yep 15 of us. The waitress was a little confused on who was with who but we got it all worked out in the end. I tried not to claim one of the kids but she caught on real quick. anyway we had a great time. Real funny thing was when my nefew Joey needed to be changed (he's almost three) and so he borrowed Baby's extra pair of pants. Then one of the girls (my niece) picked up Baby and he needed changed as well. He ended up with only a t-shirt on but that was ok since we were leaving anyway.
This past weekend I bought the kit to make a counted cross stitch thing for Rachel. You know the thing with the two little feet and the little duck in the corner. You personalise it with the baby's name and date of birth. Anyway I made one for Joey when he was born and my sister in law becca made on for my Baby. So I wanted to make one for Rach. I stated on Sunday night and worked on it about four hours. Then on Monday I worked on it for about 1 and a half hours at work and then about three hours at home. Tuesday I worked on it for about four hours and finally finished it at 12:30 last night. I put the two girls names on it and just need to wait for then to be born to put the date on. I also added a little dinosaur to it on the opposite side of the duck. I am really glad I did and I hope Rachel likes it. I thought about putting a hand on it but I am not good at making hands!
I have been talking to Rick. I know what your going to say and I completely agree. I have this strange thought in my head that if I start being nice to him that he will give me some child support money. I am really in desparate need of some cash right now and my boss just informed us all that we are closed on friday without pay. darn darn darn. My mom has started calling me on the weekends to see if she can pick something up for us while she's at the store. There's always something to tell her. She had to give me the money for school clothes because both boys schools are mandating uniforms (polos and dress pants or walking shorts) anyway I was able to get them five shirts and five shorts each. Scout also got new socks and under shirts. She also gave me $50 for school supplies which almost got everything they needed. Except bookbags but I'm hoping to get them this weekend. I'm sure this is just a dry spell otherwise I am really going to have to think about moving north. Paradise ain't what it used to be, thats for sure.
