I wanted to let all my friends with little ones know about this blog. It's pretty neat... it highlights awesome toddler/preschool books. I haven't seen any books featured that I haven't wanted to run out and buy. I found the blog while perusing the webpage to our local library.
They also do a giveaway (US residents only) every Wednesday. We won a Maisy book and it's adorable. Anyway, check them out at: http://readertotz.blogspot.com/

Things have been going pretty well. I have been at my position for 6 months now. Three more and I will be permanent! Yeah!
Jack is now a big 5 year old. He is enjoying playing basketball on a team at the YMCA. Right now he is watching "Beverly Hills Chicky-wa-wa" with his dad. The other night he said, "Can I ask you a personal question?" I was thinking, what kind of personal question does a five year old even know about? So I said ok. He said, "What do you do when your pants are on fire?" Hmmm. Pretty personal.
The girls are so funny. Megan has this throaty laugh and she laughs whenever we do. It is so cute to hear her laugh.
The girls and I went to Ladies Night Out last night. It was pretty fun until Erica ate part of a napkin and threw up at me. Today Jack and I went to Dino Day at the Burke Museum at the University of Washington in Seattle. My friend told me about it. It was a fun day. At least it was until I came home to find my baby with a fever. My poor little Erica is sick. She has a 102.3 fever and is coughing and lethargic. The girls have been sick over and over. At least she had a week or two between the last illness and this one. They were getting sick with something new before getting over what they had before. It's been a really rough winter.
Well I need to go now. I hope everyone is doing well.

News-of a sort
Well here it is almost Christmas and I haven't posted in ages. We're having fun with the kids. Jack is being cute. Here are a few "Jackisms".
He dictated a letter to Santa to his babysitter, it went like this:
"Dear Santa,
Megan and Erica are here and would like some presents. My name is Jack and I am 4 years old. I would like a remote control car like Carly* and some Moon Sand. I would also like some lipstick for my mom and my dad needs some shampoo and arm stuff.
from, Jack"
*Carly is the name his friend gave her remote control car.
One day he found a permanent marker and DH took it from him telling him it wasn't for little boys because it was permanent. He also made an offhand comment that it was a stinky marker and could make someone high. Later that day Jack told me that "that marker makes you grow bigger and bigger".
Jack and DH cut up some summer sausage and cheese (ok Jack didn't cut it up but he helped put it in a baggie). DH had said that they were doing it to "surprise Mommy". So after DH went to the store Jack gestured for me to follow him and whispered, "Come on mama, it's a secret, 'Shhh'" Then when Daddy got home he told me that he had cut the stuff up and it was in the fridge and I told him Jack had already told me. Jack had that sheepish look because he spilled the beans.
Megan and Erica are as adorable as ever. They love baby dolls and will hug them and if you ask Erica for hers she will snatch it away. In fact Erica does that with a lot of stuff, like food. If she reaches her hand out like she's going to share her food and you go to take it, she will snatch it away and smile. I guess it's a game.
Megan boldly ignores us if she has something she's not supposed to have. If we ask her to give us the item she just walks the other way. Or she will come towards us and then turn the other direction and walk away. She likes to climb on Jack's little chair and when we tell her to sit down she will crouch down and look at us and grin and then pop back up. I remember Jack doing that at church during the Children's Moment.
We haven't seen any bugs since we treated the kids and the house. I'm hopeful that we got it the first time but I'm still a little paranoid about it.
