Expecting, Yes Once Again!

So yes we are expecting once again!  Yea big suprise to us too!  So Hayley just turned 4 and Connor just turned 1.  We are getting excited about the new baby at the same time as trying to get over the shock of trying to manage 3 kids while Patrick goes to school.  Yea no way we can afford daycare at this point either.  So it doesnt look like I will be going back to work again anytime soon.  I have been a SAHM for basically 4 years with working for a couple on months when Hayley was just over a year and then part time for 9 months when I was pregnant with Connor.  So yea needless to say I am about ready to head back to work. 

We are still continuing our Cloth Diaper journey with Connor and will continue with the new baby also.  With part of our tax return I bought new diapers for Connor and the new lil addition and spent just over $300 for both of them!  So do the math $300 for two kids in diapers, not pennies compared to buying sposies. 

So, this Spring Hayley started TBall and from what I can tell she absolutly loves it.  She also has her dance recital coming up on June 11.  Dance is begining to be so expensive now.  Tuition is just about $50/month, along with new shoes both tap and ballet $25 each, pictures (smallest package) $32, Costume $75.  This doesnt even count tickets for the recital that start at $10 each!  So we are going to need at least 5 of those. 
So we are looking at least $200 just for recital!  UGH really for a family that lives on a fixed income every month this is really killing us! 

I have decided that if she is going to dance next year we will NOT be doing recital next year, it will be every other year from now on until she gets older. 

On another note, Connor is doing good but currently sick with a cold.  UGH and my life goes on and on and on with sick kids.  We are still cloth diapering the lol Con Man!
