No guesses?

In my last post I left a little riddle which no one has figured out ~ or if you have, you've not told me.  The idea originated with the kids, and they had to explain it to me when I first heard it. But I was sure that someone here would figure it out.  So I'll put it to you again:

  Our family has four and a half dozen kids.

Can you explain that?  No, we have not adopted and we have not invested in goats (yet).

Waiting for the water to boil so Mommy will make some tea.

Our addition plans are moving along slowly.  We're going to have to step up the pace a bit if we hope to be ready.  The builder hopes to start by the end of April ~ only 1 month away!  We almost have our kitchen ordered.  Just a few more details to be figured out and then they can start building it.  It will be roomy,  the idea being that many hands will be working there together.  I should remember to take some before pictures so that once we are nicely settled into the new kitchen, we can look back at the old one and just be that much more thankful.  There are a lot more decisions to be made for the rest of the addition and we are still trying to come up with a workable plan for how to exist while all this is going on.  Not only will we be without a kitchen and laundry room for an unknown period of time, we'll also be without septic for a while.  That complicates things even more. :P

Waiting and singing.

In the next few weeks we will be celebrating a birthday, getting chickenpox (maybe - we've been exposed and the five youngest have not had it yet) and going on a little holiday for two, and perhaps, if they don't all get chickenpox the first time around, we'll get a second round of that. 

 Enthusiastic singer. :)

April will be gone before we know it.  And perhaps by then spring will be here to stay.  Now that would be something to sing about!
