Truman the Chef

Truman and I spent some mother son time together this weekend. He asked if we could make cookies, of course I had to say yes. He is always such a good helper in the kitchen and always wants to help. He is always right under my feet every time I am cooking - which hasn't been much lately... Anyway, we had a great time together.

35 weeks and counting...

I go back to the doctor on September 2 - going every week now:)

Good Bye Civic

After almost 6 years of driving the Civic we finally sold it:( Patrick put an ad in Saturday's paper and it sold within hours!

Today we got a new Toyota Sequoia. The kids love the room and want to sleep in it tonight.

34 weeks

Sweet Pea will be here before we know it. We started to put the crib up the other day and had to stop because our realtor called and wanted to show our house. I am so ready to take that sign out of my yard!

I have been feeling good for the most part. It is starting to get uncomfortable sitting at my desk at work for 7 hours. My belly is so big that I just can't seem to sit still for more than 30 min. at a time. However; I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!!!

Do You Believe in Ghost?

Patrick and I believe we have a ghost in our house. He has actually seen her twice – once in our master bathroom.

We were abruptly awoken at 4:00 a.m. this morning by a loud noise. Patrick got up to see what it was. There were two wine bottles lying on the kitchen floor.

We have about six wine bottle standing together on the top of our kitchen cabinets. Last night before we went to bed I noticed that there were two new bottles up there. I asked Patrick about them and he said the put them up there about six months ago – I know, I’m not very observant.

I guess our ghost was listening in on our conversation about the wine bottles and decided to knock two of them onto the floor at 4:00 a.m. Luckily they did not break, however; we do have a few dents in our hardwood floors now.

What do we do? This is not the first crazy thing that has happened in our new house.

Daddy's Little Helpers

Truman and Claire love to help Patrick do his "outside" work. However; for some reason they are not as excited about helping me out in the house. Actually, it's not that bad. I can get a lot more work done when the kids are helping Patrick!

1st Day of School

The kids were asleep by 8:15 last night. I was so proud that we made it on time!

I have the day off today so I got up and made sausage and eggs for breakfast to get them off on the right foot. They both got their teeth brushed and dressed without fussing!!! Patrick and I both took the kids to school. We dropped Claire off first, she walked in the door and pretty much ignored us and went to talk to her friends - she is little miss social, I wonder who she gets that from.

We then dropped Truman off in his class. I think he was ready for us to leave his room too. You can see what I mean by the look he gave me in the picture. He is too cute!

Since this is the first day of school the kids get out at 1:00. I will let you know how it went.
