This Weekend

We had a pretty easy going weekend. We ran errands and Roman did some work on the bathroom in the basement. We got to hang out with some of our friends in the neighborhood on Saturday night, sans children, which was fantastic! All in all, a nice weekend. Here are some pics:
Dominick doing the dishes (really).
Dom and Nix riding the plasma car. It is hilarious to watch them cruise around the house together!
Cammie came over to play last night, and had dinner with the boys. It was so much fun. Here there are having a smoothie snack courtesy of Nana!
It is nearly impossible to get three children to look at the camera at the same time. Seriously, it's a fact. Look it up.

Cloth Diapers and a New Cook in the Kitchen

So, after 3 1/2 years of deliberation, I have decided to go cloth! Yesterday, my cloth diapers arrived in the mail, and my excitement was contagious; even my mother, whose experiences with cloth in the 70's left her cynical as to the ease of cloth diapers, became excited as we washed them! I got two kinds, prefolds with covers, and some all in ones. Naturally, the all in ones are awesome, but their cost is high, so I need to have others. We are "prepping" the prefolds, so at the moment I am just using the all in ones. Here are some pictures of my cutie wearing his first cloth diaper!! (Please ignore the poor quality of the pictures. Apparently I had the camera on the wrong setting!) Another new develop in our house is I recruited Dom to help me with dinners. It seems that between the hours of 4pm and 5pm, Dom is in need of something to do. So, after our walk around the cul de sac, we put on our aprons and cook dinner. It is a nice activity for Dom and I to do together, and keeps him occupied. Here are some pictures of our little Chef:

What You Missed.....

Here are the highlights of what you missed while I took a break from blogging.
Dom learns to use a bluetooth.
Summer haircuts and relaxing on their deck chairs.
Dressing up as a cow for free Chick-fil-a. What we won't do for free Chick-fil-a. (now available in California!!)
Nicholas' First Chair (Thanks to the Carters!)
Dom helping Daddy build a closet in the guest room.
Nicholas' first Chick-fil-a milkshake (if you can't tell, Chick-fil-a figures prominently in our lives!)
Dom's first day of school! He is in the 3's class. So grown up!!! (no, I did not realize I sent him to school in a stained shirt until I saw this picture. Sigh.)

My Oompa Loompa

Ok, so I know it's been awhile...does anyone still check this blog? ;) Anyways, I am going to try to be good and update regularly. I know blogging is a good way to keep up with people (especially since I am not on Facebook!) so I promise to make a good effort! Here is my littlest man eating lunch. It was a mistake to give him spaghetti for lunch, as it took forever to clean him up. But he had a grand time turning himself into a Oompa Loompa.
