writers block...

I am not sure why, but the last couple of months have been super hard for me to write anything.  I am choosing to blame the heat, choosing to claim that the sun fried my brain thus making it impossible for me to write anything.  Or maybe it is because my oldest was on his summer break and we were off doing too many super awesome summer time things to stop an update the blog... yeah that's it, that's the one I'm going with.  So were have been doing all these great things , and we really have too.   The kids now know all about the state we live in.  They saw most the tourist destinations only a few were left unexplored but I think that is good because there will be other summers.  I like exploring my state, I think everyone should do it!  I know New Yorkers who have never seen the Statue of Liberty or the Brooklyn Bridge and I think that is sad.  I mean people fly in from all over the world to see this stuff, and here we are just a car trip away and totally take it for granted!
      The boys got new bedroom furniture and the little princess has been keeping me on my toes.  I remember before she crawled... I remember wishing she would hurry up and crawl.  That wish was short lived because the minute she started crawling my first thought was "Oh, crap, shes mobile!!! "  Now every time I turn around the baby is gone.  And it is way worse with her, because unlike my son she doesn't take a pacifier.  See Micah loved his pacifier, so he never felt the need to stick anything and everything else in his mouth.  Little princess, however, decided WAY too early that pacifiers were for suckers and she wasn't going to have any part of them.  But that's a big problem because now she wants to put everything in her mouth.  I swear this kid is going to get the plague.  I spend most of my time trying to block the flow of things headed toward her mouth.  Hmmm maybe that is why I haven't been updating the blog enough....
  On an up note she got her DOC band, which is like a helmet to make her head shape get better.  At first I was upset about her needing one, but as it turns out, this thing is a great crash helmet.  The other day we were at a restaurant and the baby was sitting in a high chair at the table.  Well she sneezed and her head flew forward and smacked into the table.  I gasped and waited for the scream but it never came because she hit the plastic of her helmet and not her forehead.  It is now my must have piece of baby gear.  When she gets it off I will probably have a panic attack!  Well, thanks for reading and I swear I will get better about writing more often!
