update, more babies and kids

Well it has been awhile. Things have a little crazy around here, crazier than normal that is.
Jacob is entering his last week of Psychiatry (so, he should be all fixed up by the end of the week :)). He can't wait for it to be over. He would much rather crack your bones than listen to you talk about the voices you hear coming from the chimney (yes, this really happened).
As for me, we have a few more babies and alot more kids around here!
You see, our babies are in the egg shells just about to hatch, and when they sprout they get moved to a cowpot (yes, you can use your imagination on what the cowpot is made out of, sure you can guess) and grow into our kids.
We have become farmers (well minimally) and have grown our own seedlings from little tiny seeds. What a miracle of life. Not to mention, what a savings on the pocketbook.
We have bought most of our seeds from Seeds of Change and a few from Johnny's. We recommend both company's for quality and service. We also recommend Cowpots. And we will be Squarefoot Gardening this year (they have a website, it is sooooooo great) Esp. for those who are not sure about the quality of their own soil. or those to have no 'farming' tools to deal with soil....
Jacob is building our garden tomorrow and we are just excited. We will post pics tomorrow.
The children(this time I am referring to the kids jacob and I made) are growing well. liliana lost her fork tonight at the start of dinner (due to misbehaving with it). She wanted some suggestions as to what she was going to eat with and we started off by saying, "well, you could use your hands (most kids would jump at that, but she didn't), then we said, "or, you could use chopsticks (she has never seen these before). She went with that suggestion. I hope to include a pic tonight. It was fun watching her try to figure it out.
Jacob and I have recently learned that discipline does not always have to be punishment. She can learn correct behavior from consequences and not all consequences are miserable, meaning that it is not the misery that induces someone to change a behavior...
Anyway, enough soapboxing for me.
