Day 4 of Hand washing challenge!

Well we are still holding strong and sticking with it. Yesterday was pretty bad we almost ran out of diapers. They were all either dirty or wet. Drying in the house really doesn't work that well at all. I wish it wasn't raining and I could put them outside where they dry way faster. I got my free wipes in the mail the other day and yesterday was my first time using them and they are awesome. They are super cute too! So much better than having to find a place for all the disposable wipes when I use them, instead throw them in the load with the dipes. We have had a total of 4 poopy diapers since we started this challenge and I have to say I am glad they contain the mess. I guess I am lucky my girls don't dodo very often.
The real challenge is going to be this weekend. We are headed to the in-laws and I am going to bring my dipes with me. What a challenge that will be for sure. I am going to have to use her tub, hopefully she won't mind. I will defiantly be sure to blog about this weekend. I sadly won't be near a computer till Monday which is the end of the challenge so I will group the weekend together in one blog on Monday and share how I felt during the entire challenge this week. Well I am for some reason not able to upload a picture so there will be no pictures today. Darn! Had to come back and add one more thing. I need to buy some snappis, I just poked my finger again and its bleeding. I have never poked the babies because my hand is always on the back side well I don't want to be beat up anymore.

Day 3 of Flats challenge

So I washed another load of diapers in the tub yesterday morning. We had some sunshine all morning so I was able to hang them out to dry. Which btw is so much faster than in the house which takes over a day. We are doing great we haven't had any leaks and I have been using them all day and even through the night. My receiving blankets work better than the t-shirts but both work great. The babies don't seem to mind and I am saving money right now. I have to wash another load this morning and am worried about drying since the sun isn't out so I will have to dry them inside again. Almost forgot to mention we went out of the house for 3 hours and didn't have any leaks then either. Besides the challenge my house seems to be the same the babies are still screaming to entertain themselves and Kailenn is bored. During the babies nap yesterday we played with her ball outside and she had fun.
Also in the morning we went to her kindergarten round up that we almost didn't make it to. That morning my phone was ringing and I didn't know what for, I went and looked at it and it said round up. I freaked out cause at this point it was 9:45am and it started at 10:00am, we surprisingly only were 10 min late but still got to meet all the teachers and go outside for the picnic. Kailenn had so much fun playing. I don't remember what her teachers name is but he is male. That's all I know! Can't wait for my big girl to start kindergarten and begin her school future. I also can't believe how much that stinker has grown.

Off to do my 3rd diaper load!

Flats hand washing challenge!

So yesterday was the start of the flats hand washing challenge, I am really nervous about how this is going to turn out or if I will give up before the end. I guess if I would have been completely against it I wouldn't have decided to start! I am using old receiving blankets and old t-shirts for flat diapers because I don't own any and I want to show people that you don't have to spend very much money to diaper your children. The covers I am using are the cheap pull on plastic pants made by Gerber. You can get them from just about anywhere! I also am using cheap diaper pins.

These are my prefolds which I decided to hand wash too even thought they weren't part of the challenge.

Hope this information helps for those of you who are interested. 

Times are changing

Well I am so glad to say things are getting better in the Martzall house. The babies are not screaming as much as they normally do which is wonderful considering I was tired of the daily headaches. Kailenn is playing outside almost everyday now, which is helping her to stay busy. The twins are already 8 months as of yesterday. The twins have learned to sit finally, it seemed like they were never going to sit by themselves. Well at least Danica sits Hailey still likes to slack and would rather be on her belly wondering around. Hailey is doing great with her crawling/scooting she goes all over the place while doing a army crawl. Danica does this too just she isn't as good as Hailey. They both keep getting on their hands and knees, so I am sure the end of the world in near.
So today is the day of the rapture apparently, I don't believe it otherwise why would I be posting here instead of freaking out. The rapture is supposed to happen when no one expects it. Obviously that wouldn't be today. Well if I don't write again I was wrong so see you in another life!
