So it has been awhile since i have updated. The last time i updated it was 3 days until the twins turned 1, well they have been 1 for about 2 weeks now and they are getting bigger and bigger everyday. I took April in for her 1 yr appt and she is doing so well, she is 23lbs up from 6lbs at birth, and 30in up from 18in at birth. She is eating well, sleeping well, pooping well and she is just and all around happy happy baby. She is almost walking, she is now standing on her own in the middle of the floor and she is walking across the room with a walking toy she got for their birthday. She can say mama and dada and baba and uh oh! She is just so happy and i love her tons.

For their birthday they got some clothes and a couple of toys. Aggie got a walking toy and she loves it, and April got a sweet sprinkler type toy. You hook it up to the hose and they get sprinkled with the water and there are like 5 toys to play with, there is a star fish horseshoe game, a dolphin u can ride, a whale slide, a little sun shade and just lots and lots of water. We call it a pool but its really a really big sprinkler for babies, but with all the crappy weather we have been having we havent really used it that much. When we do have good weather its not when Scott is here and i cant watch 4 kids with water by myself.

Scott had a couple of weeks of for summer holidays so .... we decided to catch some toads for the boys. We went to the thrift shop in town and got a old fish tank that we converted into a toad tank, we put in some soil, a little dish full of water, a plant and a log, The tank has a top on it with a place for lights inside so we put that on during the day and turn it off at night. We (well I right now) have to go out during the day and catch about 6 grasshoppers for them to eat and then put them into the tank without letting the toads in or the grasshoppers out. Since today has been all rainy i havent been able to catch them any dinner so they havent eaten all day and i feel bad, but there really isnt much i can do about it. Hopefully ill be able to get them some tomorrow and then i will just catch more and more from now on instead of only 5 or 6. Their names are Toadie and Jumpy, they are eastern grey tree frogs or (tetraploids), Toadie is the big one and he likes to hang out on the log all day, and Jumpy is small and green and he likes to hang out on the plant all day. Toadie also really likes sitting in the water all night, i always check on them before i go to bed, and once in the middle of the night and he is always in the water dish, hes so cute.

While we were in Hamilton on vacation we got to see alot of people and take lots of pictures and we also got our cat Cookie back. We had 2 before i got pg with Chase, but when he was about 1 he became allergic (or so we thought), so we gave them to Scott's sister to watch for us with the intention that if we wanted them back we could take them back. Well Ice (my most fav cat EVER) ended up passing away, apparently someone thought it would be funny to break her jaw, and it was going to cost too much to get it repaired and even then it was only like 40% chance that it would work, so we made the decision to put her down ;(,. Anyway i really wanted to get a cat and Scott was talking about it with his mom and she said that we could take her back when we came down in Aug. So i jumped right on that and we brought her back here when we came back and she has been awesome ever since. We are so blessed that we have awesome pets. She doesnt bite, scratch or hiss at the kids. She is right now sitting on my lap watching me type this up.

So now we have a dog, Jake, a cat, Cookie, a hamster, Percy, and two toads, Toadie and Jumpy. All we need now is a rabbit! LoL!

They are all at the same house for daycare now, thank god! Mel now has April and Carson and Carma has Aggie and Chase, she will have Chase the days that he does not go to school, which is awesome for me. I still have some more back to school stuff that i need to get for Chase, some socks and some jammys and some more pants, but we should be ok.

So this is saturday and Scott is NOT home, according to him, there were some of the students who couldnt keep their rooms clean, so instead of just those people being punished ALL of them got punished, so I had the kids all day today and they are all still here and i am still sane. I cant believe i did it on my own, AND there werent any major freakouts WOO HOO go me!!!!!!!!

My friend is going to be coming by tomorrow with her two boys so that i am not alone all day again with kids i cant take outside because its freaking raining.
