i didn't take any pictures of the kids yesterday or today... *gasp*! hey- i've been a bit busy with the dining room, and besides, it's been one (ok, two) of those days where for the better part of the waking day, at least one small being is crying about something. sigh. gotta have those days too, i guess. 
i forgot about this shot- i like it! so- i'm almost done priming the dining room- i should be able to get more done once cole's in bed. if madison would just keep her paci in, i could get a LOT more done. i swear, i'm ready to tape that thing in place! it would cut down on at least half the crying that's coming from her. anyhoo... i'm excited to be close to half-done with the entire project. from what kelvin said this afternoon, they'll most likely be coming home sometime this weekend after all. can i just say i am SO happy and can't wait?? like y'all wouldn't have guessed that... yes, i am so anxious to see him, but i'm also looking forward to not having to do everything myself with only two hands. i think moms flying solo should get an extra set or two of hands if they want. sure, we'd look funny but we'd be a little more sane, maybe! then again, the gape-mouthed stares i'd get at the grocery store would probably send me back to somewhere near insane... haha. oh, and one more thing before i forget- cole drank from a straw on monday night!! he was intent on taking a sip of grandma's soda so she let him, of course. first time he's ever tried a straw and he got a nice gulp. his eyes got all watery from the fizz which was pretty cute. wow- i'm pretty impressed that he did it on the first try... can we have the same luck with potty training? (i know, i ask way too much). which reminds me, i found a deal on bulk cloth diapers... i found 24 bumgenius one-size diapers for just under $400. any mommy who's used these knows that's a pretty good deal. but if anyone out there knows of a place to get them for an even better deal, please let me know!! i know $400 seems like a pretty steep price, but when you're diapering two kids for at least another year (depending on when cole decides to potty train) and one for another year beyond that, well, the cost of disposables would run about $2500 for that entire time, so... that, and cloth are more eco-friendly. i'm thinking a little extra laundry is well worth the price.

Hope Kelvin makes it home this wk end! I know what you're feeling right about... NOW! :)
I'm sure I'd fall over dead if I knew what we've spent on diapers for 4 kids so far! :0 Either way you look at it..diapers are not cheap: cloth or disposables!
