Let it rain

It has been a crazy rainy spring but today we didn't let it stop us. We helped a friend with a garage sale. Had a quick rainy trip to the zoo, thankfully it was a light rain. We even had s'mores and jumped on the trampoline while it poured above us. We feel so blessed for a covered porch.

so for tonight it can rain...maybe just a little more. We don't want to have to worry about rain in the basement. 

Fail

I just want to complain for a second.  I had a visit at the doctor yesterday. I did the glucose test, I knew it was a mistake to take it in the afternoon,  but I failed. Bummer. Now I have to do the 3 hour test.

I gained 10 stinking pounds this month. I knew it. I could feel it and even told gg the night before that I thought I had gained 10 pounds.

baby is still head up. That makes me mervous, I don't know that my previous babes were in that position. I know I have a few more weeks before it is more of a concern but i'm a little worried.

And, I just got a phone call saying my iron was low and need to start taking iron.
Good news, baby is alive and kickin'. But what a bummer visit.

"graduation"

Today Boo graduated from preschool. I think it is silly to have a "graduation " for preschool but it's fun to have a celebration for moving up. I would say my favorite part was their ABC chant they have worked on throughout the year.

i'm super glad we did preschool for Boo. She was so ready for the socialization and the more formal education. I really don't think homeschool would be for her. She is one that I think will thrive in a school setting...however I know there are several factors that can hinder that. But for now, I am glad she likes it and we have a good school for her to go to.

anyway, way to go Boo for making it through the year and loving it!

Little miss

Just thought I'd blog about this sweet little miss

She is crazy. She is a tease. She pushes the limits. Thinks is funny to do naughty things.  She is a climber. She is becoming a fighter but she is a lover....such a cuddly thing. I live this little miss. Brings joy to my heart. 

She recently celebrated a special day.

Funny how different things are with the second child. No party. I kinda wanted to but it wasn't going to happen.  Instead she spent the day fighting to play with her new toys. This is new territory since boo wasn't interested in her toys before because they were baby toys but I would say boo plays and loves them just as much.  we got her an elmo book that plays tunes and boo loves singing the words from the Book. this morning she was singing to little miss so cute. Special moments. 

So happy to have these girls a part of my life, a little terrified of three against one coming up in the future but i'm sure there will be so much added joy and special moments.

e cloths

Have you heard of these bad boys, e cloths? One wonderful top I got from MOPS. The cloths are for cleaning all types of things but I was particularly interested in the ones for windows And glass. I found some at four star drug and they are miracle workers. Look at this, my mirror that I tried to clean after little miss "painted" it with my face lotions and make up:

 And then after a quick rub-a-dub-dub and water (no cleaners)...BOOM! Clean!

Awesome right? The supposedly clean surfaces from bacteria and e-coli...just on the nature of the fibers of the cloths.  Check it Out. I'm an excited SAHM...it's been awhile since I've been excited about a product.

I did it

Ever since I was pregnant with little miss I have been afraid of havin to find shelter for two kids by myself.  The fear lessened a great deal after moving from the second floor apartment to our house but it is has been something I worry about.

BOo was so out of it sleeping, it was hard to coax her down the stairs while carrying little miss and their comfort blankets and flashlights. 

Once down there, Boo fell back asleep on the couch cushions I got for her aND little miss just quietly cuddled with her blankets as we listened to dad on the phone.

thankfully no tornado. and I Survived getting my kids downstairs By myself. Small victory and practice for the future (unfortunate fact of living in tornado alley).

time to call it quits

For the over the last year I have worked hard at exercising 5-6 times a week. There were obviously times where circumstances did not allow for exercising 5 days a week but it that was the exception.  It felt great. (Now if only I had figured out how to change my eating habits. )

Anyway, it is time to accept that I have to give up exercising more or less. My body just can't do it any more. And I realize there are too many things that are off limits that it's been ridiculous trying to even do the videos any more.  

i'll still try to do what I can, maybe find some pregnancy videos and walk when I can But even then I get tired awfully fast. 

So either I need to embrace the beautiful pregnancy weight or learn to eat right (ha!)
