Update

My computer has betrayed me as of late.  It will randomly crash and lose blog posts, it will update when I don't want it to and in general cause me a great deal of first world electronic angst.

Now that a few days have passed from the last computer crash I need to make some updates.

To Jack's birthday post: I had lovely anecdotes written but after my computer crashed two separate times I gave up.  So to that post I would like to add that my friend Molly made Jack's cake with the cake topper my mom bought for Jack.  My mom also supplied all the party decorations and cute turtle masks even though she was not in attendance at the party.  It was very sweet.  I told her I wanted to add that to my blog because one day Jack will like knowing that his Grandma bought party decorations for his 4th birthday.  He has wonderful grandparents that do so much for him.

To the Halloween post: That crashed several times on me and I had to upload all the pictures three separate times. To that post I add that I initially bought Jack a turtle costume but it was way too big on him and looked a little ridiculous.  He knew it too.  He took it off and yelled that it was too big and refused to put it back on again.  So I made him a costume.  I bought a green sweat suit from walmart and some fabric to make the shell on his chest and the ninja knee and elbow "pads." I ordered the hard shell, weapons, and eye mask from amazon.  In the end, the prices were the same for my homemade costume and the store bought costume, but Jack looked so much cuter in the costume that I made.  Considering I have minimal sewing skills I am very proud of my accomplishment.  My poor mother tried to teach me but I refused to learn.

I can't remember any more updates for now. I still love this format for documenting my life and I will still continue to do so. It might just take longer due to technical difficulties!
