Birthday Dinner

 This is how most of the morning looked today and I quickly realized I'm not ready for this kind of weather yet.

 My mom's birthday was the other night and we all got together for a birthday dinner.

Enjoy food

Enjoy life

More Please!

23 weeks

 I had a couple of days this week where I asked myself if I was 23 weeks or 33 weeks. Yikes.
                                                                         I feel huge already.

 Britton was busy while Cary was taking my picture...

 unfortunately, we've found the turkey on top of the table dancing. :P  (He's figured out how to move chairs around to make it easier to climb up them)

Video

Probably a video only a mother could love. Ella and Britton were playing catch with Alyshia this afternoon. When Britton would throw the ball he'd clap and throw his hands in the air saying "Yay!". Of course, once I pulled the camera out he stopped doing that...

P.E.

 Part of our daily routine is after naptime in the afternoon around 3:00, we go outside and eat snack. This is the time when the school kids are outside for P.E. and my kids like to watch, or participate. ☺ The end of the first quarter is coming up at the end of this week so the school kids won't have P.E. anymore until the 4th quarter and Ella and Britton are going to be very sad.

 I'm glad I took some pictures yesterday since today was windy and kind of blew off all the leaves. :(

 Ella was practicing her ball dribbling skills.

Sick Day

 

 I think everyone in our family has managed to get the nasty cold going around, except Cary.  Britty was tired and wanted his arms tickled. ☺

 Aidan had a really bad night last night with his lungs, so he stayed home from school and we're having a sick day that is including lots of TV.

 I forgot to have Cary take some shots of me this past week, so I had Aidan take some, so I ended up with some mirror self-portraits. ;) As I posted before, we're having gorgeous weather and I've been working in the yard taking advantage, but my body is paying the price today! Ouch.

Saturday Afternoon

This Sabbath afternoon was neither restful or relaxing and so by 3:00 in the afternoon we kicked everybody outside for snack time (including ourselves).

 Grandpa was out sweeping off his sidewalks. As far back as I can remember Grandma or Grandpa swept off their sidewalk every day, a habit I wish I would pick up.

 It was a really pretty day.

 A little monster.

 Cary was out making inspections...and unfortunately found that we have a water leak, so he knows what he'll be doing all day Sunday.

 One of our water shut offs is right here on the side of the house and it's leaking, so under our house is wet too. Boo.

 (Cary was trying to vacuum up water before he figured out what the problem was)

 Britton is always ever so helpful

Plugging his ears when the vacuum was on. ☺
