Seth 1 Month

Seth is 1 month already! Crazy!! It goes so fast.

Blogging on Sunday was eh-ok-but I really just like my routine. I think my new plan (this week) is start Friday...and then if it doesn’t really happen scramble Sunday. Maybe we’ll see. It is just the family journal so I do think it’s a good sabboth activity but when I say it like that “scramble” it’s accurate but makes me wonder if it’s really what I should be doing on the Sabboth day. Hmm. Anyway. 

I forgot the big excitement last week was Cassie gave us a TV the boys were over the moon excited. It is what we watched the inspirational messages on last week. We put it upstairs and the boys have done pretty good with not nagging to watch it. So...so far so good. I’m really excited about having it for General conference! (And if I’m honest it’s doing a little babysitting for me so I can blog...) and Dad and Seth are having a late Friday night nap. 

I think they’re so cute there sleeping like that!

The other thing about Sunday was it turned out to be wasp day (we thought...that was before Thursday) we probably vacuumed up 15 of the little suckers. When I told Isaac I was getting pretty good at catching them with the vacuum in midair he said “that’s probably really not a good thing” ...ya good point, a little too much practice. We know they “hibernated” not really but whatever you call it for wasps, for the winter in the old wood of our house we just don’t know where they are coming in from...if we could figure that out the bug man could maybe help us. I dunno. Thursday I was...whoa...ok this is an infestation!  We vacuumed up at least 4 probably 6 or 7 times and one time Colt went in just to check and we found tons probably 30+ all on the window they were trying to get out but yikes!!! Luckily they are not aggressive-actually they’re pretty sluggish from the winter and neither Colt or Tanner is really scared of them. Cannon however is TERRIFIED! At least he sleeps in the other room. Today Isaac‘s plan was to not vacuum them up and then see if he could open the window and let them out as they started going out hopefully see where they were coming from. (I don’t know how or if it was gonna work...I had my doubts) but we ended up with a cold rainy rainy day so there were no wasps at all coming out anyway... 

What else? 

Sunday Seth had hair...by Tuesday not so much and it’s getting worse every day! Dang buddy...I mean I think he looks a lot like Isaac ...just so soon with the matching hair line 😉

All 5 of my favs...I don’t remember what they were doing but I know I couldn’t resist, I had to grab a pic of him sitting there with all 4 boys then later in the week when we were doing come follow me (I think he was church'n it) but I had all 4 boys around me on the couch I had to snap a selfie. LOVE these boys!

Monday I had Colts last speech meeting!!! Wahoo! (He asked me that night if he was “retiring” from speech 😂😂 I said let’s go with “graduating”)  After

school we went to the church and played basketball. Dax came with us and Cannon had a blast playing one on one. Colton and Tanner played pretty good with each other. That evening my guys tried to plant some grass! Dad had lots of help.  It will be nice to not have such a mud pile by the side of the house! Hoping it comes up quick!

Monday’s “fun” also consisted of finding water under the washing machine Ug! Multiple times we’d talked about getting one of those drain bins for it to sit in...there’s definitely some damage to the wood and I still haven’t ordered one! I will though. Ultimately Isaac just ended up fixing the drain hose.

Tuesday was nice and they went Outside!!!

By themselves! 

And played and played! Hallelujah!!!

And it’s crazy here but today (Friday) all that grass behind them—totally green! 2 days of sunshine, Magic! 

Seth snuggles! We love’m! 

A pic from Dr Suess week that I saw on the wall at Colts school.

And...our house was stink’n! Bad! My mom said “it’s just old” but it was more than the just old smell. Then we found the water—which does make things stink! But it was still bad. Especially one cupboard. So Isaac was on a mission. He cleaned out the cupboard. Nuthin. So in classic Isaac fashion he started tearing things apart. He took off the toe kick (which required removing some trim...whoop-I guess it can be done- I really don’t like how one piece in our living room turned out but he told me we couldn’t change it because he used liquid nail. Translation-he doesn’t want to change it it! Ha-so this was a -2nd-really good thing about this project) anyway he drilled a hole and got out the spotlight and sure enough found a dead mouse.

It smells way better around here though. He says “this is my issue with the poison” and I totally agree but we don’t know what the solution is. The traps weren’t working at all. If Im going to live here we’ve gotta do our best to keep the mice out. (Pretty sure this place was the mouse Hilton before we bought it 😩😩😩) 

Anyway who knows...

Tann taking pics of Seth...its what happens when I get in the shower--could be worse!

And how bout this mom fail? I went to change Seth’s diaper in the car and...had left the diaper bag by the back door at home. Luckily there’s pretty much always wipes in the car and we found an old Pull Up of Tanners in the back of the van! Yikes! Definitely not on my A game! His face says it all!

I think that’s about it-

Friday. Blog. Check.
