So the computer I used to make (and I thought post) my last post lied to me terribly. So here I am again. This fall has sucked beyond measure and I have been sticking my head in the sand and not being social at all.
Let's start with the good things though. I started my new job and it is going really well. My youngest started kindergarten and is mostly enjoying it. Although he did tell his teacher he wants to go back to preschool because it is to much coloring in kindergarten. The twins have stayed in their momma longer than I think anyone really thought they would and in less than two weeks if they still have not made their appearance then the doctors will be helping them along. Mind you this is still not full term, but poor momma has looked full term for many months now and has been mostly in bed for the past few weeks (not doctor ordered but recommended). Ben had some fun and dyed his hair.
Yep, crazy crayon, fire engine red. It was fabulous. But alas, with the swimming it faded within a month.No it is a gorgeous coppery color women pay big bucks to try and get. This all started with the youngest being with me at the hair dresser while I was getting color and the hairdresser and myself trying to get Nate to color his hair. He refused and no amount of bribery would get him to agree, but the oldest wanted to do his. Up next is cookie monster blue for Ben. And Nate after seeing the reactions that Ben got from people has decided he wants to do his hair now.
On the less happy side, my FIL passed away unexpectedly in September. This has been extra hard on everyone with all the other deaths that has happened this year. And to make matters worse, my MIL's dad was in the hospital at the time for heart related troubles and we are told that the main artery in his heart is 90% blocked.
That is the real reason I haven't posted this fall, I just haven't been able to face the world more than necessary. Nate keeps making up songs about his dead papas and how much we miss them and how he is sad. The songs are actually pretty good. Ben is just having a hard time altogether. And Shane and I are trying to keep both mothers from losing it while trying to have a life together. This weekend, I had to tell Shane that we were going nowhere and doing nothing for either family. It is our weekend. For the past five weekends, one or the other of us has been gone helping one of the mothers with something. And I don't resent helping them, but I definetely needed to spend some time with my husband.
I have been knitting but mostly on the baby blanket for the second twin (the first one is done). I have no pictures of it because I lost my camera cable and just found it. I am on the border of the baby blanket and as soon as I have it done, I will post pictures.
