Loads of Fun

We had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. We spent Saturday with Uncle Josh, Aunt Sarah, Margo, Jude, Aunt Em, Reba, Grandmama, and Pappy. Aunt Em came in town. She was not able to come for The Belle and Margo's birthday so, she threw her own little party for them. She made Cinderella cupcakes for Margo and Mickey Mouse cupcakes for The Belle. They were adorable. The best part was the gift. She gave The Belle a Minnie Mouse dress up outfit and Margo a Cinderella one. Those girls were so cute. The Belle has worn hers everyday. Sunday we went to church followed by Lunch at our favorite BBQ place. The Belle had her first sleepover that night. She spent the night with Margo. She was so excited! Although Josh and Sarah begged for The May to stay, we decided she should sleep in her own crib. We thought 4 kids were a bit much. It was so sad when we left. The May looked over to The Belle's car seat and asked where she was. I told her she was going to stay with Margo and she started crying. I too, got teary eyed. I quickly distracted her tears by offering to take her to Krispy Kreme. There is one way to that girls heart. Monday we went to the beach with Josh, Sarah, Margo, and Jude. The beach was beautiful and the kids had a good time. Both girls fell asleep on the way home and went to bed fairly early. It was a great kick off to the summer. I can't wait for more days like that.

Just A Small Request

Dear Mr. Sun,
Let me begin by saying I love you. Honestly, you are my favorite of all the weather conditions. With that said, I have a small problem. You see The Belle sleeps according to your arrival and departure. Well, for a couple of days now you have been arriving at our house VERY EARLY (I have covered both windows in our bedroom with dark blankets to block out your light) and you have been leaving rather late. Well, The Belle does not take naps any more and this is a real issue. I thought you might consider arriving a little later so; she could sleep in, which would seriously help me out. Or if that is a problem, could you just leave a little sooner so, she could go to sleep by 8:30. I realize you have a busy schedule but, I am TIRED! Thanks so much!

Well, this is brand new information!

The Belle has been potty trained for over a year now. She is at the point where she will go on her own and then call for one of us to come wipe her. Well, the other day I just happened to pass by the bathroom and I saw her on the potty and to my surprise she wiped herself. But, not with toilet paper she wiped with the hand towel and PUT IT BACK! I have no idea how long this has been going on but, I was completely grossed out. I explained to her that we only wipe with toilet paper and she still needs a grown up to help her. I wonder what else she is doing that I am not aware of?

Hiding Baby

No dice on Taco Bell last night. But, I did get Subway which I felt much better about eating. I am sure a turkey sandwich is much better than a nachos bell grande for the baby. Speaking of baby, when we explained to The Belle that I was going to have a baby she quickly confirmed that she wants a baby girl. We have a girl name picked out but, no boy name. She continuly asks what is baby ____ doing and why is she hiding in your tummy? That girl has alot to learn.

Not Fine Dining

I spent ALL day on the couch. I woke up with a terrible headache. Nothing seems to help it. I am sure it is somehow pregnancy related. I really haven't wanted to eat anything today until now. I am craving a nachos bell grande (with no tomatos) from Taco Bell. I know, Taco Bell is not the most appealing place to eat but, I could devour it right now. The only thing is it is 7:40 pm and the nearest Border Run is @ least 25 min. away. I am ready to pile up and go but, I don't know that the girls are going to make it. Well, I am going to try to convince husband that he also needs Taco Bell.

Pea In The Pod

It is official. I am PREGNANT. After knowing for over 2 weeks, I am still in shock. We finally told our parents on Mother's Day. We gave them a picture frame with 3 openings. I put The Belle's picture in the 1st opening, The May's picture in the 2nd opening, and a big question mark in the last one. They were all very excited. I had my first Dr. appt. yesterday. When I saw the baby's heartbeat reality set in. I am going to have 3 children ages 3 and under! I better get some rest.

Messy May

Here lately The May has to take a bath everyday after lunch. The girl loves to eat and holds nothing back when she does. She has a new favorite snack.....pudding. I'm not quite sure if any made it into her mouth. The Belle would NEVER eat like this and the entire time they were eating she kept begging me to bathe The May. She could not focus on eating due to all the messiness. Those two girls are at completey different extremes when it comes to some things.

Time Flies

I have no idea where this week went! On Monday, I took The May to the DR. for her 18 month check up. Everything was great. She is 50% for her height and weight. Our pediatrician had just returned from running the Boston Marathon. I thought that was pretty cool. Wednesday was gym. Yesterday I took the girls to the park and my Mom met us there with lunch. She kept The Belle at her house while The May came home for a much needed nap. I had a Vacation Bible School meeting later that afternoon. Then the babies began arriving. My brother and sister-in-law had baby # 3 @ 12:30. They didn't know the sex and we were all excited when Nicole delivered a baby girl (they have 2 boys). Then my friend Jennifer had her first baby @ 10:30 (a baby boy). The girls and I went to see their new cousin today. She is so sweet and beautiful. The girls were thrilled to meet her. We have Relay for Life tonight and tomorrow is my neice Margo's birthday party. I am sure it is going to be a great weekend.
