Peek A Boo

Look who's popping out!


I can no longer hide the fact that I am pregnant, but alas it was bound to happen at some point. Though I am 21 weeks today, this picture was taken last week at the 20 week mark.

Costumes and Candy

Here are the boys all dressed up in their costumes that they wore to each of the grandparents houses the other night. Philip was not thrilled to be wearing overalls, or any accessories for that matter, but he managed.




And, since my niece and nephew looked so good, I will share a picture of them too.

Introducing Baby Boy #3

The circle you see above this little guys face ia actually where his lower and upper arms joints meet (whatever that's called) He had at least one arm resting on his head the entire ultrasound. Maybe he will be another easy going kid. (A mom can hope, right?)

I love this picture of his little hand.

It's A

Those of you who rooted for team pink...sorry, not this time. We will be having another boy. All looked good in the ultrasound for baby boy #3. I know his two older brothers will be so happy to meet him in a few months, as will his mommy and daddy. Now I have three boys to dress all alike!

Time to Bring Out the Tent

I have been waiting for the rainy days to set in, so I could unveil this tent I bought over the summer at IKEA. Today seemed like a great day, and the boys could not have been more excited. They jumped around the house as they eagerly waited for me to get it all set up. I think it will eventually make its way down to the basement play area, but since I am still too afraid to even walk down there, that will have to wait. Not sure why I am so scared of tiny little critters creeping around my basement, but I am.

What Will It Be Next?

Fall has come, and along with it has come the cold weather. This in turn has brought back the mice. Yup, I think they are moving back in for the winter. So, we have been busy getting our basement ready for the new guests. As unwelcome a site as they are, it is also a true reality and must be dealt with. We have placed all of our food, canned goods aside, in plastic storage bins.

As I was downstairs with the boys this morning, doing some cleaning, I came across more evidence of our little "friends". They had eaten into two packages of Costco brand baby wipes, you know, the unscented kind. Who could have guessed that one? I am now left wondering what it will be next? It is now in my plans to put everything possible or at least things that are somewhat important into plastic tubs. This may also come in handy when and if we get water inside again this winter.

It may sound like we are trying to accommodate our guests, which is in fact far from true. Last winter we caught well over a dozen little furry things. So, I am looking for any tips you all may have found to be useful in keeping these fellows out. Thankfully they have yet to find there way upstairs. When they do that I will be moving elsewhere.

Oh, and no I will not get a cat simply to keep these things away.

Poor Guy

You know your busy two year old is not feeling well, when this is all he wants to do.
