The 36 week pregnant belly...MOVING!!

Here is a one minute video of the incredible moving belly!

36.5 weeks along, and ready to come out! We're ready for you to come out, baby girl.

The Dr. says Danielle is full term, and the baby's head is down low. She says Baby Girl could come at any time in the next couple of weeks. Check back often!

Nice Memories

Well, I was in one of those moods to see what happened last year at this time... and lookie what I found! I had forgotten that we were in Puerto Rico at the end of last April! wow. I wish we were there now! Definately wouldn't fit into that bikini though......

WE LOVED IT THERE!!!!

Random Picture......

I haven't put up any pics in a while, and I am working on some recent ones, but since I am soooo tired from an "oh-so-crazy" weekend with our "Oh-so-wild-and-crazy-friends-who-also-have-several-children-making-the-total-number-of-little-friends-here-in-my-house-13", I have decided to open up a folder of pics from March of last year and see what I get. ( looking for the date closest to today's)

This is what I came up with.... they made a tent with my comforter. I don't really remember this, but it sure is cute. It's fun looking at random pictures every now and then! I am loving Sean's chubby cheeks in this pic! Yummy!

Whatever!

Ok.... I haven't posted in a while and I am certain I am writing this for no one because all of my devoted readers have lost interest. I am working on a post for you about the women's retreat/seminar I went to on Saturday at my church. Sorry it isn't ready yet, Judy! :)

So in the meantime, I was thinking..... since you are all aware that my boys are on a HUGE Star Wars kick, you would probably be interested to know ALL the things with which a light saber can be made from! There's so much more than you would guess! Oh! Do tell, you say!

Alrighty then!

lets see....... and lest you forget, these are made even despite the fact that they all have ACTUAL LIGHT SABERS that spring out, light up, make noise, and who knows what else. ( why did we pay money for these things?)

1. straws. I am going thru a lot of straws lately.

2. sticks. that's an obvious one

3. construction paper. rolled up and taped to stay in place.

4. Lego's. but these are tricky. you know how Lego's are... if you make the saber too long, it will fall apart. very frustrating for the young Jedi knights.

5. here's an interesting one.... my prenatal vitamins. yep. they are pretty long- horse pills! And I hate taking them. Sean insists on "helping me" take them every morning. and as he is giving them to me he holds one in his little chubby hand and says," Mommy! I Darth Vader!"

Oh good. can I have my vitamin now, before it melts in your hand, Darth?

6. here's another good one.. they will actually draw a light saber on white paper, color it, and then cut it out. then they attempt to fight with that thin, floppy, skinny piece of paper. I don't remember seeing in the movie anyone dying of a paper cut, but it might happen here.

7. clay/playdoh this works pretty well, I have to admit.

8. cheese curls. yes, the delicious, yet messy orange snack food. this is the messiest kind of light saber. And it is hard to fight the enemy when you have eaten your weapon.

ok. I'm tired. I think there are more, but this is wearing me out. Remember when I said I thought they would NEVER get out of their CARS phase? Oh have mercy.

a long , long time ago.......

somewhere in the house, probably the kitchen,

A mother was desperately seeking help from

ANYONE who could put an end to the never

ending saga of battles and heroes and star

ships. And princesses that also use guns

and who never have to cook for the Jedi's

or get them a hundred snacks a day or

have to tell them to pick up all their light

sabers and helmets and masks and robes

that they left lying around on the floor of

the star ship. house. And to remember to

flush. And wash their hands. Because you

don't want to have the enemy cut off

your hand if it's dirty.

Will someone, anyone come and rescue this mother

from the evils that surround her every day,

and bring peace and order to the galaxy? or to

even just one spot in this house?

Hellllllllppppp!!!!

Fresh Air...

Well, Jeff left for Kentucky yesterday. We miss him terribly already, and will have to wait until Saturday to have him back! The kids are finally getting better from the tummy bug that has rampaged our house over the last several weeks. It decided to go through each of us -one -at-a-time, instead of together.


I don't really know which would be worse.


Today and tomorrow the kids have no school. I took them outside to play for a little fresh air today. Hopefully to blow the rest of the germs off them! it was cold and a bit windy, but very sunny. We were out for around a half hour, and we had all had enough.


Some nice hot chocolate did the trick to get us warm. Too bad Kevin spilled his all over himself....


I didn't plan on him warming up that way....


Oh well. Hopefully the rest of the day will go quickly.


I don't have my camera, because Jeff took it on the trip, so I can't give you any pics of them having fun outside. So I decided to pick a random picture from February of last year. I tried to get the folder from approximately the same week. Here's what I ended up with:

We apparently had a nice sunny day last Feb too. This picture could have easily been taken today. Even the snow in the driveway and the neighbor's yard looks the same!

Hopefully tomorrow will be a good day, with no more sickness at all!!
