Dynamom? Everything alright?
I do not know why, but I was thinking of you and your family this past days. I hope all is fine with you all. Maybe I just missed your comments, but as your last blog was about you looking for Motormouth, I think it a bit funny that she is around here quite a lot now and you seemed to have vanished.
Please, keep us updated, will you?

I'm okay, just lurking, busy as ever. I swear the entire month of February there was not a SINGLE day I was home all day (so much for "stay AT HOME mom" huh?) Someone always has an appointment or storytime or playdate or parental visit or rehearsal or, or, or....
Now I'm home with one sick kid and two little kids waiting for a phone call to tell me when Z's parental visit is today so I have a few minutes to catch up.
Dd is in the musical "The King & I" at the high school that I graduated from. They needed some little kids as the princes and princesses. She's loving it. Opening night is tomorrow but she has strep throat...but the timing is actually perfect, started antibiotics yesterday so will be okay for the show. Phew! She's read the first six Harry Potter books on her own in the past two months.
Ds G is starting to (finally) figure out which kids in his class he really meshes with and has had some good playdates with new friends lately. He's loving karate and the Warriors book series and is turning 7 on 3/23.
Ds E is either very, very good or very, very bad depending on the moment
He's got a lot of energy and I can't wait for spring. He loves running around the house with the puppy (who is growing and doing well also!) and I want to throw them outside in a snow-free yard!! He'll be 3 on 4/14. He's starting preschool in the fall now that we've finally found a good one for him.
Ds Z is going to be ONE on 3/15!! Oh a year flies by doesn't it? I'm back to driving him to his parental visits every other week but his mom's transportation is unreliable so we never know what time (thus me waiting around today). He's totally scrumptious and trying to say "dog" and says "uh-oh" and now signs for "more" and "milk" and has stood alone a few times. He wants to walk. Bad.
Me! I got my hair chopped off. I'm thinking of auditioning for "The Importance of Being Earnest" on Tuesday but I feel so cheesy faking an English accent so I'm on the fence. I'll be 35 this April and am scheming for some work on my tattoos as my gift to myself. We are trying to take a family vacation on spring break, we'd like to borrow a friend's camper and drive to North Carolina to visit the boys' bio siblings down there and then do other fun stuff on the way down and way back up.
The kids dressed for mismatched day at school (my dd clearly more into it than my son and E in the pic just for fun)

Can't believe z is getting so big...what a smile! Glad you checked in, I've been thinking of you lately too...hope your spring is a little less hectic that your winter so we see some more dynafamily posts.
I've been lurking, sorry, I'll try to comment more so you know I'm here 
no pressure! i know you're a busy woman!
The cut looks great, the kids are just ((((total cuteness))))
it seems like just yesterday your big boy was the same size E is now! and E was the baby's size, my word!! Your daughter reminds me so much of I-bop in that outfit...Ibop would dress like that on the regular not just mis-match day LOL

The funny thing is my dd's outfits are usually pretty mismatched too....and then the first outfit she picked out for mismatch day kind of um...matched. So I helped her pick something else 
you probably have no idea who I am (I'm new...sort of). I posted on here about four years ago and read posts a bit back then and totally remember your family. My you all have grown and expanded! so fun to see pics. Love the miss match and the sink and your haircut (i've been a short hair person most of my life and have to say its the best).
I say try out for that play. could be fun even if it feels cheesy too.
: )
