At home today, we *Josiah & Noah* decided to play baby with their 17 month old sister. So they started to play the parts of Mommy & Daddy and take care of the baby. Lexie was loving the super kind attention of course.
So next they determined that the 'baby' was hungry. Josiah asked Noah, 'What should we get the baby to eat?'. Noah promptly answered, 'DOG FOOD!'. After which Josiah annouced, 'Yeah! And what about dog water too?'.
We have NEVER in their lives fed them dog food or dog water...but apparently they think that this quite appropriate to serve a baby :). Thankfully they didn't actually try to follow through with that one! Even though I am fairly certain Lexie would have gone for a try!!!

The end of the party...
So this is just a quick little update - more to come at a later post - we celebrated Josiah's 5th birthday with the family tonight. At the end of the evening after everyone had come and gone, Noah comes back down from upstairs after changing into his PJ's and this is his remarks -
He sits down with a rather down face and says, "I miss my cousins and my family and my kids." I asked him, "What kids?" to which he replied "I don't know, I just miss them."
Hope you can enjoy a quick little laugh out of that one! :)

Group Shot of us all
Here's some great photos of all the lovely people that came to a New Year's Eve dinner at Roberta's house.
On the menu was several appetizers, beef tenderloin, scalloped potatoes, green beans, citrus fruit salad, of course some Italian bread and chocolate moltens for dessert - yum. Would have that again! :) Was a nice and relaxing evening! We hired out childcare for all of our little ones (aside from the babies) to watch the children at our house so that we could actually enjoy some peace and quiet over at Roberta's house - it worked out well and would definitely plan it this way again.
I know the posting is way late compared to when New Year's Eve actually happened BUT that's the best timeframe we got going here.

One Quick Noahism
I walked into the living RM this evening to see Noah lifting Lexie up and on our her way over her chair. I quickly run in and yell 'Noah - stop!' seeing the red flags all over this one.
He turns to me after stopping and says so innocently, 'But Mom, Lexie just wanted to fly!'.
Yeah right Noah, she can't even really talk and she was able to let you know that she wanted to fly? Hmmm....try again.
Will keep a VERY close eye on Noah in the future and his flying endeavors, esp where his other siblings are concerned!

16 Weeks & Counting
I am officially 16 weeks pregnant as of yesterday. Being pregnant with 4th baby has never gone so quickly I feel so I hope that trend continues into the last few months! You can definitely pray for me in those last few months (all of June & July) and / or take the boys and the Lexie off my hands during those hottest summer days. No part of me will want to be outside in the heat when my own internal heater is getting hotter all the time.
So far Josiah feels that I have 9 girls and 10 boys in my belly and Noah doesn't think anything about what's in MY belly only now that the 2 tigers he had have grown to 3 tigers that he is going to have. Lexie has not a clue, but in for quite a surprise come birth day. She is all about her Mama right now.
Due date is July 22nd, but not hoping for any arrival (without inducing) until August. August 1st is my guess, girl is my 2nd guess. Name is Kora if girl, but no middle name yet.
So there you have it, a few more details of changes to come in Finkler family life :).

Quick Finance Info
OK so here are some quick things to share -
1) The cash for clunkers sort of appliance bred program is here. You can receive up to $150 towards any new energy saving appliance that qualifies in this program. Similar to the cash for clunkers so I would imagine lots of red tape and documents to get it through but still, if you have an older inefficient appliance you might want to look into this program! And if Larry and I end up going this route with the broken down old appliances that we have stashed in places I don't even know, then we will let you know how it all worked out.
2) Credit Reports - due to pulling our own recently and then looking through a friend's issues as well, things have definitely changed. One simple thing to change / look for, if you were ever an authorized user on another person's account (most likely if you were on your parent's credit card at some point of time) this is now going to pop up on your credit history. Here is how it affects you - it will not impact your score but in the event that you would go to qualify for a loan, the lender would hit you for the min pmt due on this tradeline. So it would negatively affect your debt to income ratio which is one of the measures the lender uses to qualify you. In other words, call in and get yourself taken off as an authorized user.
Ok that's it for finance updates at this point!
You can always let me know if you have any further questions on this...
