Gonna try a new idea....

I'm going to try something new. I want to try to do a "picture of the day". I'm hoping it will get me to figure out how to use some of the features on my camera, and also make sure I take more pictures of the kids. Though not every picture will be of the kids. Probably only 99.99% of them. Hey, you gotta admit they are darn cute models! My idea will be to take at least 5 new pictures a week, hopefully 7 but I can live with only 5. Then on Sunday (or Monday if I'm busy Sunday) I will put up a new post with the weekly pictures. And, since I tend to get songs stuck in my head, I'll post a youtube video of the song too. 'Cause if it is stuck in my head, then by golly I'll try my best to get it stuck in your head too!

This weeks Song Stuck In My Head is: Behind Blue Eyes by Limp Bizkit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrFwtlMd0H8&feature=related
(yes, I know The Who did it first...but I like the Limp Bizkit version just slightly more)

First picture: I finally got a picture of all the kids this week. I bribe them by telling them if they give me a few "nice" pictures then I will take a silly one of them. (Note: this is the silly one haha). Oddly, I always love the silly ones the best. In fact, I just ordered this one on a new coffee cup for myself.

My biggest and my littlest. Spencer just loves Jamie. He wants to hold her all the time. I just feel bad because most the time she is eating, sleeping or getting her diaper changed.

Moira is so thrilled to have a baby sister. She calls Jamie "My Baby". The other day on the way home from the doctors Jamie started fussing, so Moira sang her a lullabye. It was so sweet I was literally crying.

Dennis says Baby James looks like me. I still say she looks like Winston Churchill: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winston_Churchill

Lincoln has been doing great with the new baby. He calls her "Awwww" as in "Awwww, what a cute baby!" Yeah, he's still not much of a talker.

In other blog-worthy news...we went to the first drive in movie of the year on Friday. Because we've outgrown our van, but have not gotten a new one yet, we had to take both cars. Dennis had the three big boys in his car I had the babies in the van. The drive in is about 90 minutes away, but luckily the drive went well. Or, at least most of it did. About an hour into the drive we were in a very hilly area. And I was reminded of why Lincoln should not be in the very back bench of the van. I was reminded of that by Lincoln whining "Mama!" and when I looked at him in the mirror he had both hands over his mouth. Then he got carsick. Yes, it doesn't take much to remind me. Just a 2 year old throwing up all over himself. But, we cleaned him up and went on our merry way.

I do think we have a new first movie of the season tradition. And that would be getting rained on. Maybe we should wait until it is closer to summer before we go for the first time? Ok, lets face it, if there is a good comic book based movie , then we'll be going to see it. Even if it means we have to huddle in the van to stay out of the rain. It's worth it.

We saw the new X-Men movie, Wolverine. I enjoyed it very much. Dennis knows more of the background so there were some things that bugged him, but he did like it too. The boys liked it. And Moira and Lincoln enjoyed the candy and big blowpop suckers that they had. Jamie slept through it, so I'll have to get her review after the DVD comes out.

Well, there is my blog for the week. I hope you enjoyed it. And, I really hope you have the song stuck in your head now. It's only fair, it's been stuck in my head for 3 days now.
