Gym Day

The kids have been begging me to take them to the gym. I don't know why today because it is so warm but it's also very muddy and you can't run as fast with your boots on, I guess.
So they got their work done early and ate lunch in record time and we headed up to the community center.
I don't know why we don't go more often.





Gracie got a little warm.





-Baby update-

This was a busy week for us. After having my 3 hour glucose (Ugh!) done the week before, they called to let me know it came back positive for diabetes (surprise anyone?) and they "took the liberty of setting up a few appointments" for me.
Tuesday I headed up to Highland to have an ultrasound at 10, meet with the high risk OB at 11, the diabetic educator at 12, Nst at 2. and the diabetic nurse at 3. Oh, is that all?
Well, I have to say, they do take care of their patients. I learned a lot that day and I got myself a fancy new diet. Now, following that diet will be a whole different adventure.
The ultrasound was the most exciting part of the day. The woman giving it laughed when she said "Wanna know how big this baby is?"
7 pounds, 8 oz !! with four weeks to go.

Well, it's not 4 weeks anymore, they bumped it up to the week before and scheduled a C, as much as I wanted to avoid it. But it is pretty neat to know the exact date and time.

Those buttons

are so hard to button when you have chubby fingers.

"Mama, can you cut these dots out for me?"



Writing practice...
I wrote the first line, then asked the boys to copy. I thought I was being funny. Jacob copied his sentence first and never even commented on it. Then it was Joe's turn. But he didn't think "great" was the right word to describe me. Well, "good" is OK, too. It could be worse.



Now, can you figure this one out?

Enjoying this Winter Weather (a little)

The best place to eat lunch

This is the kids favorite corner... for obvious reasons.
Notice what's hanging off the side - it's a timer. I'm not sure if they were actually using it for the purpose of knowing when it was the next one's turn, or if it was there just because it's magnetic and anything magnetic usually ends up sticking to every metal thing in the house sooner or later.



The next best place for lunch - sitting right on the table.

Just one today

All ready for church but we're a little early. Nothing like a good book to pass a little bit of time.

Smooch!
