New Favorite

The kids invented a new game that keeps them occupied & relatively fight-free for long periods of time!! Anna calls it "Sheep" (while their imaginations for games might be vivid, their imaginations for naming said games is not quite so vivid!!) Basically they take turns being the sheep, whose home is under the rocking chair with the toy sheep. They surround the chair with pillows (which are the gate). It looks ridiculously uncomfortable but they love it. And I love it because it keeps them playing & quiet...except for Jacob's crying sheep impersonation. That gets a bit high-pitched!! :)

The View from Here

6 months already!! And blocking more of my computer every day. ;) He's becoming more active, but only when I'm still (and trying to sleep of course!). The kids have both felt him kick. I'm not sure Jacob really gets what's going on, but he likes to pull my shirt up & "see" the baby. He always points right at my belly button & says "baby!" so I'm hoping he doesn't think *that* is the baby!! He also insists that he has a baby in his belly, too! He comes up & pulls my hand over his so he can feel the baby kick. Anna, of course, is always talking to the baby & giving him hugs & kisses.
Everyone asks how I'm feeling & the best answer is *pregnant*!! I can't really complain too much. Aches & pains that come with the territory I suppose. At least I'm not sick. My 24 week check up is this week. Time is going too fast. Before I know it, school will start & not long after this little soccer player will be here! So far we haven't been able to agree on a name, so we'll see what happens...might have to stay longer at the hospital! :)

Should I Be Embarrassed?

That we have so many ice cream dishes in the van?? We love our local ice cream place (no kidding, right?) that is lovingly referred to as the Dairy Dump. It beats Dairy Queen in our opinion-taste & most certainly price! Each of those dishes is only 50 cents!!

Riding horses

Sort of! :) They're sure having fun, anyway. Sorry it's not a very good picture.

Why must they change things?!

Any other bloggers notice the changes made to blogger for editing your blog? I had to get a new background and now I can't find where to change my font colors?! Good grief. Just leave things the same! :)

The Answer

I just realized that I never did answer whose hair it was! :) She got a LOT cut off, but it's still plenty long. She loves it.

Silly Boy!!

Then he started pulling his pillow case over his head-pillow & all!! He's not asleep here. I wish! He finally cocooned himself in his new blanket & went to sleep.
