1) We are the primary teachers of our children. From birth they watch us and do as we do.
Which is why I wasn't surprised at all when I discovered that Elena has been coloring all over the door that I use to chart their growth!!!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
2) Her expertise isn't limited to crayons. Turns out she is pretty crafty with a pen.
She has a vague understanding that pens are for paper...
But is quite liberal in her use of the pen

3) I found a princess dress for Elena in our costume bag (thank you Rachel!!!) and she has been rocking out in it all week.
I think she is channeling her inner Rapunzel - sans the hair
4) WHAT???
How do YOU watch Tangled???
Oh kiddo - I'm so sorry for this. If I forget to remove this photo before your first date, it's not because I don't love you.
It's because I love you ;)

5) I have to retire the sewing machine for just a short while but I was able to quickly finish the kids Halloween costumes for this year. You'll have to wait a week to see what we have created. But, here's a clue:

6) I interviewed my doula this morning!!! I'm so excited. I had a very successful drug-free birth with Leo and ended up with an epidural for Elena. (I haven't ever posted their birth stories but I might feel like it when I get closer to this one's due date.) This time around, I'm willing to shell out some cash so that I can make it through the birth without the drugs and I can't wait. Oh - that just sounded ridiculous...

7) You all know now that I am wildly passionate about birth control and since I always come up short on 7 takes, I'll post some of the best stuff I came across this week.
- 10 Reasons the Pill Sucks by Bad Catholic
- Contraceptives Kill People, Harm the Environment, and Bankrupt the Economy by Matthew Archbold
- Yaz Birth Control Investigation The video below is especially eye-opening and sad. The poor girl affected by Yaz has lost so much. After googling her, I found that shortly after her physical problems from Yaz, she was struck by a car while waiting at a bus stop and her friend was killed! This poor girl has had a rough couple years but seems to be pushing through it just fine.
Happy Weekend everyone. I'm taking the little ones to a Halloween party tomorrow while Jason goes hunting with his new bow and arrow!! Hopefully he doesn't shoot his eye out...
