happy fall


This is the only decoration we have up right now that is strictly for fall. (I won't be mentioning to Robert how I almost fell off the step stool into the camilla bush while putting it up. Not one of my finer moments, but I did manage to NOT fall.) Every other decoration is for Halloween. My two helpers and I decorated last weekend, so the countdown to Halloween has begun. I really don't know about walking around this year during the trick or treating. We walked a looooong way last year and we were all tired. The mere thought of all that walking this year makes me tired now. :)

I can't believe we are under 90 days nows. Yikes, we still have so much to do. I had a doctor's appt. this week and all is well. I feel good, lots of Braxton Hicks contractions, but the doctor thinks that the reason could be the fibroid but more likely it is because this is my 3rd pregnancy. The important thing is, is that they don't hurt and they don't last. I was up last night (I should say this morning) between 3:00 and 4:00. The baby felt like it was having a party inside. That is pretty normal now.
Yesterday while I was at Target the cashier actually asked me if I was about 3 months along. If she would have been drinking something when I told her that I was in fact 6 months along, she surely would have spit it out. Let me just say that I do not in any way look 3 months pregnant.

We've been busy. We have started soccer camp for Harrison. Did I mention that already? It is every Friday for an hour after Friday school. It is the perfect introduction to sports. There is no team, no uniforms, just practicing and learning the basics of soccer. He really likes it a lot. Charlie loves it too because it is held at a park with a great playground. :)

Yesterday was my sister's birthday. We had a fun day. She came by in the morning and helped me clean the boy's room. Sounds like a lot of fun, huh? :) Harrison started religious education class a few weeks ago, so he goes at the same time as my niece. Every week we pick up Chris and Maddie and head over to the church to drop the kids off. Yesterday after we dropped the kids off, her and Charlie and I went over to Panera Bakery for chocolate chip cookies and ice tea. The time goes by so quickly, that before we know it, it is time to pick up Harrison and Maddie. Yesterday she took Charlie over to Pet Smart and they checked out all of the possible pet options. He was so excited, and it worked for me too because I relaxed and ate my cookie. A win win all around! :)
Happy Friday.

Glad to hear all is well with the baby! That is too funny about your sister's birthday. Actually, can I have her at my house for her next b-day? Looks like a beautiful am here, so I'm going to go open all the blinds...we've had rain for weeks!

Hey! Good to hear that things are going well and that you DIDN'T FALL. ;)

Funny about the trick-or-treat thing... I remember when I was preggers with Isaac. he was due Nov. 11th and Nathan was determined to go TOTing. I was going to stay home and let Barry take him, but decided at the last minute that I really wanted to go. Boy, was THAT a mistake! LOL 8.5 months along, waddling down the street for two hours... I was SO sore afterwards. :P

We got our first snow today! Almost 6 inches already and it's only 11:45 AM! The kids are super excited. They've been hounding me all morning about going outside and breaking in their new coats and gloves. :)

I really miss those precious baby kicks, twists, and squirms....... *sniff* Savor every single one of them! :)
