The Fresh Beat Band makes me want to blow up the TV.

I need more clothes. Mine just don't fit, most of them. Jack is going to be 6 months old on Friday, so I don't feel right saying I "just" had a baby, but I still feel that I did just have a baby! I have been thinking of going to get some jeans from the Goodwill.

Yesterday I made some baby pants out of an old shirt, and a costume for Libby. She's going to be a ladybug! Except she's purple and yellow instead of red and black. The "shell" is made of felt, and it's stuffed. The pattern I used the pattern at http://blog.craftzine.com/archive/2008/09/how_to_baby_ladybug_costume.html calls for Velcro to stick the shell to the child's back, but I didn't want to sew or stick on Velcro and ruin the leotard, so I put ribbons on it so she can wear it as a backpack. I also stuffed it with old Wal-mart bags instead of quilt batting. My sister laughed at me. :) Tomorrow I'll go pick up the rest of the stuff the girls will need for their costumes. Em's school does a skate night at the local rink once a month, and we're going tomorrow. The girls will wear their costumes. Then the church has their Halloween party Friday night. I was kind of agonizing about what to get Jack to wear, but then I decided to make him be a lumberjack. He's got jeans and a flannel shirt, I'm going to use makeup to give him a "beard" and try to find a black beanie cap for him to wear.

My husband hasn't gotten promoted yet. They're giving him lots of the run around. A little extra money, aside from teh recognition he deserves, will be very nice.

We're probably going to be stationed at Fort Lewis, WA, next. It'll be fun! People are crunchy there. :D

Jack is so close to crawling. He gets up on his hands and knees and rocks. Every time I sit and think, "Oh my goodness he's going to do it" he flops down on that ole belly of his. It's going to be soon. He hasn't sat up yet, though! Crazy baby.

I was going to put some more stuff in here but I can't remember now. Oh, well.
