Plum Tuckered Out

We had our little friend Miss H over to play the other day. You might remember her from our Mexico trip last summer. These two played hard for several hours outside before both begging to be let inside. Once in, they went and sat on the couch as close to each other as they could and asked for a show. Who can deny these two? Not I. A show was rewarded and was the perfect way to settle them down for a nap.

One of them asked for a drink so naturally the other one needed a refreshing beverage as well. Oh the simplicities of two year old life.

Some Buff reading

I was in the midst of getting G ready for his bath when I realized that I had forgotten to start running the water. The diaper had come off and his bum cleaned so I told him I would be right back to take his shirt off. Usually he hops up and either follows me or starts playing with some cars. Today neither happened. I came back with him still laying on the floor reading some books from a nearby bookcase. Start boosting those brain cells.

I just sat there and watched him get more books and settle into a more comfortable position.

Perfect the "Chillax" little one, it will come in handy in the future.

Bubbles!

I let G play in a sink full of bubbles and water the other day and I don't know why I have never done it before! Other than him being in the way for dinner dishes it was the best idea I have ever had. I didn't time him but I am pretty sure he was at that sink for over an hour and half. Apparently I need to simplify my thinking when it comes to entertaining this one. :)

If the amount of fun is measured by the water on his shirt, than it was a success!

Whiteout!

When I went to bed last night there was not a drop of water on the ground. When we woke up this morning this is what we found. This is not a surprise storm but the sheer amount of snow in one night makes me feel like we are in Chicago again. Well, minus the awesome plow system and people who know how to drive in snow. Let's just say that here, we will not be going anywhere today and maybe tomorrow.

Sorry the pics are fuzzy, I took them through our windows/screens because I am not about to venture into 9 degree (but feels like -10) weather just to take photos.

This is our front walkway. Where those lights are should be a little brick wall and near the bottom of the pic should be our front porch. Both have disappeared. :)

This is a little table on our back porch. This is probably an accurate level of snow we got because this spot is protected from the wind. Once again, this reminds me of Chicago.

Right now The Man is out shoveling the front walkway, bless his heart. And this is how G supports him, by turning it into a spectator sport.

Thanks Dad!

Sleepy Time

I knew it was a tired day for the little guy when he got his "puggie" and "blankie" and went and just laid down on the couch. I have NEVER gotten him to lay down on the couch whether he was tired or not. Apparently shopping wears out a man whether he is 2 or 32. Sorry bud.

Merry Christmas!

In my previous posted I mentioned how bad I have been at taking pictures so thank goodness for The Man. These are pretty much the only pics I have from Christmas morning. Pathetic, but Merry Christmas!

We got a visit from Nana and Papa for almost a whole week before Christmas. While no pics were taken we had a blast playing, shopping, baking and eating. One of their many presents to G was this fantastic slide that they drove all the way from Arizona. My sweet/bossy kid made everyone take a turn going down it. Nana, you may thank me at anytime for not posting your photo. While I think that you look adorable I didn't think you would want it in cyber space. :)

31 Weeks pictures

Well, I am currently 32 weeks, haven't posted on my blog in a month, and have failed miserably at taking any photos. . I was planning on taking pics at 28 weeks but well, here is my 31 week photo. We have been a touch busy. :)

I am still feeling fantastic, though I have discovered what heartburn/acid reflux feels like. I am not really a fan and my doctor took pity on me so Pepcid and I are routinely best friends. If I would lay off greasy, sugary, fried, and salty foods I would be okay, but honestly who can do that?

Just went to the doc today and it is all boring news. I measure great, I apparently didn't get TOO outta control over the holidays, and GMan made it through the whole appointment only requiring one sucker from the nurse. Total improvement over the 3 sucker visit. C-section planned for February 24th. Totally bizarre knowing when Baby Girl will be here. Nice to plan for help but weird to have "Baby Coming" written on my calendar at 5:30.

Still no name and still taking suggestions. We might have to post our favorites online and ask for help again. Maybe we will hold a contest for names and the winner will get a prize. How does a framed photo of Baby Girl sound? Yea right, we would totally go for something better like dessert or cash. We have 7 more weeks, we'll see how desperate we get. :)

My goal for the next few weeks is to take the camera everywhere with me so hopefully I will document the fun adventures that G and I go on. Hope everyone is great and is gearing up for Baby Day on February 24th!
