Week 2....

So I haven't been as ambitious with the writingas I would've liked BUT.....the flu, or some virus, swept through the Graham Clan, starting last week Thursday and ending the Wed, well I still have a sore throat. Needless to say there were lots of missed buckets, lots of disinfecting, lots of laundry and lots of aches and pains. I had a migraine on Sat, when Tim was suppossed to do a 12 hour shift. I woke with a cold fear of not knowing how I could competently take care of 3 kids when I could barely move/open my eyes/breathe. But we soldiered through, and here we are, at the end of another week.
Tim has been working for 2 weeks, and we are out of the negatives! YAY. I was never super worried, just concerned. I knew that it was coming,but my income alone, well EI and CCTB, does not cover all the expenses of a family of 5, Tim didn't get one EI pay during the 2 months of school, and got it all this week!! So, billls:PAID, groceries: DONE, and tithe:READY! Finally.
Right now again, guess whats on the flatscreen??!! Right, Sesame St! Love it, and so does Levi! He has been talking up a storm this week! It has been amazing and actually really funny, Willow and I are getting a kick out of it! We went to my sisters house on Monday eve, and she has a BEAUTIFUL property, a pond, forest, some trails, the kids LOVED it. After we left I told the kids we should look for horses, so out of nowhere Levi starts saying, "Horsey, where are you?!" I've never heard him even attempt to say horse, let alone where are you. It was so cute. Now he asks: Where are you going? What are we doing? What am I doing? Why and Where is(fill in the Blank).

Willow has been significantly more well behaved over the last week and a bit, it has been a blessing! She is so sweet, she made me a Mothers day card at school, and wrote I love my mommy all by herself! She draws pics of our family all the time with all our names under the stick people, we are never mommy and daddy, but always Tim and Amy. Meh, they are super cute drawings and I always have crazy spikey hair! Its a new look! An no glasses, amazing! LOL

Autumn is good, growing well. And was 5 months already yesterday! So becasue she screams so much when I put her down for naps and bed, I have decided to stop breastfeeding! I don't think I have enough 'quality' milk(and all you breastfeeding Nazi's can judge away, becasue I don't care! You granola judgy moms are a horrible example of making other women feel small for choices they have made. Not everyone wants a kid who can hold conversations and brush their own teeth to be latching on! So suck it!) I've been doing half and half for a long time now, and breastfed the other 2 till 8 months, but Autumn so far, seems quite different from Willow and Levi! She is a dolly!

This weekend is busy! Going to see the Sutherlands tomorrow in the morning! and going to The Hasletts for a party in the evening, and Tim will probably be working through both! C'est la vie! Looking forward to seeing Ron! That's all for now!
Ciao! Peace!
