Hey we are back to my home this week (no it isn’t really cleaned yet…but it is getting there, you will have to put blinders on as I was gone all weekend and daddy was holding how the fort!)

But I am wondering if people want to look at their calendars and see if there is a Tuesday they would like to host.  I love having you all the time at my place, but I know a lot of you have expressed interest in being a host.  Don’t forget the next three Daddy too nights are on the calendar for July 7, August 4 and September 8.  Brian and I will be gone the week of August 3 (we have to be in Ill for continuing ed, barf).  All Tuesdays will be at my house unless you want to volunteer your place!!

Last week I think I heard that you all wanted to do Cinco De Mayo themed dinner.  I thought a roasted pig would be a great celebration in honor of “Swine Flu” but you all said no.  So please sign up for some goods to bring:

Hey ladies.  I think most people wanted to cook food for the new arrivals coming Auguest(Mindy’s) and September (Chris’).  So our first step.  Chris and Mindy what foods do you HATE (like certin meats, veggies…) anything you really REALLY like.

here is a link to the stroller my friend uses and likes:

Before Christmas we did a fund raiser for a day care in Argentina.  Here is an update:

Sorry this has taken so long to get pictures to you. With the money you sent we purchased a large rug and two small rugs (with roads for cars). We also just bought a DVD player with the rest of the money and some that we added with it. With another donation we were able to buy some (cheap) DVDs.

Here are pictures of some of the kids holding up the DVDs and playing in the Day Care. One Sunday I took a picture of all 10 of the kids together. During the week when there is school – 4 kids go to school in the morning and 4 go in the afternoon so all the kids were not there for the action pictures.

Thanks so much for the help you gave us. The kids really appreciate it!

Thank you All for your help doing this, you ROCK.  If you click on the picture it will make it larger so you can see better.

 

Spaghetti sound good?

We Need:

Red Sauce

White Sauce

Garlic Bread

Salad w/dressing

Dessert (Betsy what about the brownie thing??)

Let’s see if we can pull it off! I talked with Katrina tonight and we think we are going to try Dad’s night this Tuesday if it works for everyone else. We are going to have “build your own pasta night.” So, we are going to need items such as: Pasta!, meatballs, marinara sauce, alfredo sauce, chicken, parmasen cheese, mushrooms, peppers, onions, whatever anyone likes on their pasta!

Let’s start the signing up!
Tara – chicken and alfredo sauce

DON’T REPLY TO THIS POSTING!   KATRINA ADDED ANOTHER CALLED SPAGHETTI NIGHT!  LET’S ALL REPLY IN ONE PLACE!

Are dads coming on tuesday?  If so food?

If anyone has any empty diaper boxes or any boxes at all….please bring them for Wendi…she has a friend moving who needs some boxes!

Next week is a daddy too night! What do you want for dinner? Pray for warm weather so we can expand to the backyard (who knows, maybe I can talk my husband into a sandbox or something new for outside…yah, right).

Some have asked about the Doula I used with Lydia, I highly recommend her, here is her info:

Also I just got word tonight that there is a December birth.  Someone you will not guess, but she is part of the facebook group.  I don’t know if she is telling people yet.  However, she told me so start the guessing!

May is coming so fast so get out your calendar and make sure to note that Tuesday may 19th and 26th are at Tara and Finn’s house.  Same time, just different location.  let me know if you need an address. 

-Hey we missed you Tara and K man!
