Updates


It has been a while, yet again, but things are going well. I'm growing rapidly (so it feels like) and we get to find out the sex of the baby this week (the 25th!!!). The whole family is going, I'm sure Danielle is bummed she is going to miss her p.e. class, so that should be a good adventure. I'm at 20 weeks now, half way done with the entire process, that is so hard to believe! Right now the baby is between 5 2/3 to 6 1/2 inches long and about 9 or 10 ounces. The average length of a cantaloup, how weird.
We had a fun weekend over visiting my mom and seeing my brother for a few minutes here and there. The kids got to see a fun movie called Planet 51 about an astronaut being the alien on an alien planet and we also had lunch at the park, played some card games and got to visit a bunch.
We are spending this week picking up preregistration paper work for Dylan starting
kindergarten next year and getting back into the swing of preschool. I've really dropped the ball on that since the beginning of the year but I think I needed that rest to recover from the holidays and the get my energy back from the second trimester. I'm feeling better now and haven't felt much morning sickness in a week or two so I'm thinking that is about over with, hooray!
Since we've been having such wonderful weather (about 60 degrees and sunshine!) I guess it's time we get back out there and get used to walking again, but exercise sounds so unappealing. Anyway that's what's going on in a nut shell, more to come soon and then onto the great name debate!

Do's and Don'ts of Birthdays and Parties

My oldest son just turned 7 and since we are watching every cent going out I tried to be as creative as possible when coming up with the birthday of a life time (until next year).  Do: Make Them Feel Important Without Spending Money Waffles with chocolate syrup for breakfast are ok on a special day like this! (I love using a pizza cutter to slice waffles and pancakes for the little guys, especially Lincoln who is still learning to feed himself with a fork) Measuring on the wall of fame, we only write on it once a year now to make it exciting. Dylan grew about 3.25 inches in one year! This momma gets tired quicker than ever being 30+ weeks pregnant and chasing after a rowdy toddler so I didn't do the fanciest cakes (remember the volcano cake from birthday 4 or the mint chocolate chip cupcakes from last year) but I did find some cute stickers that have been in the house for years, put a matching one on both sides of a flat tooth pick and voila, cupcakes to compete with the best ...

Blending In, Lazy Fall Days and a Birthday Too

 I have a picture of Dylan taking a nap in Daddy's camouflage a year or two ago. This year I thought it would be fun to get one of Lincoln in the same pile of clothes. I love how all three of these were taken within a few seconds of each other but his facial expressions are so different.  Today when Dylan got home from school he was grumpy and said he didn't feel too well so he zonked out for a nap on the couch while I also got Lincoln down for a nap too. Danielle stayed after school for some help so I actually got part of dinner ready and cleaned out the dish washer. Of course I didn't get to finish this before the little one woke up, but hey I had a small moment of silence complete with a picture of a one handed baby and a little boy turning into a little man with a little smear of pink frosting on his cheek from a girls' birthday party at kindergarten. Danielle is 17 today! I can hardly believe it. This picture was taken a week or two ago by Danielle's frien...

cha cha cha changes

Well what do you think? Pretty close for doing it myself! I got my hair cut professionally a few weeks ago and decided that I still wanted to go shorter and finally today was the day. Dylan got a buzz cut and the dog is next, watch out!
