Let’s see:

I’m half way through the pregnancy. My how time flies when you are chasing 3 other kids!

We inherited the upstairs neighbors mini van and are now riding in 1999 style. And we are essentially thrilled.  Seriously cramming 3 kids into the camry was getting old especially in rainy weather. there is NOTHING like standing in the rain loading groceries and three kids individually into a car. Totally unfun. There is something very happy happy joy joy about pushing a button on a key chain and having a sliding door open and then running in the rain and throwing all three kids and myself in the van.  We’re a lot drier, and we are feeling the joys of a spacious interior. good times.

The camry is finding a new home with a college aged girl who I assume will love driving around in a 1999 toyota gold camry- nothing says check me out like that does….oh wait….

Still no news on a new apartment. We were hoping for a june 1st move in date. We didn’t realize that having children equates us with having a horrible plague in the eyes of WAY too many landlords. grrrr no more on that or we’ll digress into madness.

We joined a fish co-op. totally rocking. Our friendly fishermen in Gloucester Mass go fishing and then we get a fresh caught fish delivered to a pick up location in Cambridge- right down the road a piece and convenient ot trader joes- always a must.  Last week was the first week and I must say approaching an unmarked truck in a parking lot was a little unnerving- like its either the firendly fish guy or a pot selling dude thankfully it was a man giving me a giant bag of cod. That guy was at least 5 pounds and got us 2 suppers a couple of lunches and more fish patties in the freezer. Yikes.

Also what a great lesson for the kids about where food comes from and what a fish looks like dead, but pre cooked. Lest you worry they were freaked out, they were not, just amused and entertained. SO much so that as I weilded a knife to cut off the fins and Lily was running off to play she yelled out in a funny voice, oh no don’t cut me!

oh hilarious.

and  also, oh right, cutting fish is so luke’s job. ewww

anyway now I am off to make waffles for dinner because its all that sounded good to me. seriously.
