Too Cute
Andrew, wearing pajamas with a monkey on the front, a safari hat and carrying a firetruck flashlight.
Guard Dog
We have a brown lab that is running around our neighborhood. Yesterday when Paul and our neighbor were out doing yardwork the dog was staying underneath them annoying them. It gets all up in our flowerbeds and stays close to the fence all the time.
Paul tried spraying it with water yesterday, it didnt care. We did find a way to scare it off, though. Accidently.
We were outside yesterday afternoon cleaning some stuff up. Trip (our cocker spaniel) was out with us. Trip starts going crazy, so I go over to the driveway to see what is going on. Trip can fit his head and about half his shoulders through the slats on the fence. He had the other dog by the neck. He does not normally attack like that, but has proven himself to be a guard dog many times. I called him and he let go and came to me and the other dog ran away.
I let Trip out this morning and heard him barking. I went and looked out the window and the dog was across the street. It looked at Trip and took off down the street.
Today is trash day. Maybe I should leave Trip outside to keep the dog scared away from our trash. :)

Offer on House
We got an offer last night on the house. We have not talked to the realtor yet, but will not accept the offer as is. He emailed the offer at 10:30 last night and we were already in bed.
We are being offered almost $10,000 less than the asking price. They want us to pay $6000 of their closing cost, give a $500 home warranty along with a couple of other things that will cost us money (surveys, etc).
My favorite.....they want us to pay them a $2000 allowance for a refrigerator and storage shed. Hmmmm.....
It is a move in the right direction, but I would like to get SOMETHING out of what I have put in!

Conversations with Boys
On the way home last night, I commented that I had a baby pushing on my bladder (my hint to Daddy that a potty break was looming). Bryce heard me and says "Daddy, Mommy is talking potty talk!" This started a whole long WRONG conversation of potty talk between too many boys.
We went from talking about a bladder to poopoo splatter (which is a joke in this house because we went and ate chinese food a long time ago with my parents. They ordered the Poo Poo Platter. The boys, of course, hear and start giggling. The next time we went, without my parents, we sat down and Isaac LOUDLY asked if we could order a PooPoo Splatter.). You can see where this conversation is headed....
I finally start getting that conversation ended and calmed down and Caleb asked who wanted to smell his fart. Everyone says no, except Bryce who said he wanted to. I am waiting for Caleb to do IT in Bryce's face anytime now. I guess it will teach him.
See how fun traveling with boys is. Oh wait, this is not just traveling talk. This is everyday stuff with a house of boys! You just throw in lots of "how much further" and "I need to potty" comments and THAT makes it traveling fun!
Paul is just like my Dad though. Paul told the boys we would stop for dinner in 45 minutes. About 20 minutes later someone asks when we would eat he said in 45 MILES. They asked several more times in that 45 miles and Daddy always said "in 45 minutes". My Dad was always great at doing things like that. And, when backpacking if we asked how much further we had to hike he ALWAYS answered "just around the curve". Eventually we learned he would never say WHICH curve!!

33 Week Checkup
I had my doctors appointment Friday morning before we went to Arkansas. She is still measuring great and her heart rate was right at 150 bpm (much better than last times). We discussed her size and movement. We changed the appointments to Fridays so Paul could go to them (he has every other Friday off). I feel like she is HUGE, but the doctor said she is not measuring big. She asked about the sizes of the boys and said they were pretty good sized babies for my size. So, she said if we get to concerned as we get closer we could do a sonogram. I don't know that I NEED to know if I am going to have a 10 pound baby. That may stress me out even more than the WHEN of the delivery.
Paul pointed out to the doctor that she is the most active out of all of the kids and that it is sometimes gross (Thanks Dear!). I must admit, the constant major moving of my stomach gets old! Her movements are also a lot different than the boys were. Daddy thinks an alien is trying to bust through my stomach at times.
This doctor just said what all of my other doctors said with all the other babies. I have a perfect place to grow babies. They all do great and seem to like it where they are (although she seems to want OUT).
I go back in two weeks and after that we start going weekly. Six more weeks from today, if we make it that long!!
On a side note, I have never in four pregnancies (and up to now with this one) had much problem with hand and feet swelling. This weekend though..... I had taken off my rings to clean the bathrooms. I went to put them back on and they would not go on. It was not a case of being tight, they were not fitting at all! My socks were VERY tight too! This morning was the first time I was able to put them back on and they are tight.

Horrible Weekend
Well, this weekend SUCKED!!! It was long and exhausting for all of us. But, the house is finally clean and painted and yard work is done. Maybe it will sell soon!
Our plan was to be on the road at lunchtime yesterday. We did not leave until 5:30 last night. We got home around midnight and the boys had to get up and go to school today. They did sleep some in the car, but it was not near enough! Everyone is dragging this morning!
Friday night we got to bed VERY late. I woke up in the middle of the night with the worse contractions I had had so far. I thought we might have to go to the hospital, but they finally stopped. They were consistent is spacing, length and VERY strong. Unfortunately, we had too much to get done for me NOT to help out, although Paul did a lot!
The boys spent all day Saturday outside. We have gone back and forth about whether or not to make the boys another sandbox. I think after this weekend we have decided to make one here. Bryce and Andrew played in it ALL day. The older three were also put to work helping Dad with the yard, pulling weeds, etc.
Sunday the kids all stayed inside because they got SO nasty Saturday and I did not want to have to bathe them after scrubbing bathrooms! The older three played their Gameboys and read and Andrew "helped" us clean and paint. I did put the boys to work some, making them scrub baseboards, clean dirt and dust out of the carpet at the baseboards, etc.
Overall, considering the weekend, late nights and nothing to do, the boys did very well.
On the way home last night, we stopped at an Arby's that is attached to a gas station for dinner. As we were leaving we noticed that just about every pump at the gas station had a detention center van at it. Mom asked if we were loading the kids into the vans. I pointed out that we have our OWN detention center!!
Paul took the day off today, and after all the work he did this weekend, he is having to take care of THIS yard today. It is much warmer here so we actually already have green grass, lots of weeds and it all has to be done weekly.
I am hurting in places I did not know existed. The trip home was long and uncomfortable. Mady decided to make sure I stayed awake with Daddy by making me have contractions for about the last half of the trip. We mapped out all the hospitals on the way and decided which ones looked the best, just in case. Luckily we did not need them! Daddy did ask everytime we were by one though.
I am trying to take it easy today (this week) and not do too much, although with a house full of boys, cleaning is a DAILY thing or it gets bad quick!

Pull Out the Garbage Bags (Contractor Size)
You probably think this post is about some major cleaning project we are doing, like yard work or throwing away toys, etc.
Nope!
THIS post is about what I am going to be wearing for the next six weeks. I have TWO shirts that fit me. I put on shirts that fit me the last time I put them on a couple of weeks ago, but today do not even cover my belly. I really don't want to go buy maternity clothes with only six weeks left, but two shirts don't go very far!
I am getting concerned about just how big this "little" girl is going to be!
She has found her comfortable spot. She still moves ALL. THE. TIME. But, I have one spot that feels like she has bruised from the inside. It hurts when she pushes on it and it hurts when I push her off of it.

Crying Over Dead Bugs
Bryce got upset this morning. I asked him what was wrong, and he asked why all the Bryce Bugs died in the aquarium. I told him they were probably just sleeping because the light was off.
He will be happy to know, when he gets home, that his Bryce bugs are still swimming around!

Great Weather and Energy!
When you live in a house full of boys, a dog, a cat and a bird, any day that you can open your windows and not freeze or burn up is a blessing of a day!
Today is a beautiful blessing of a day!!
To top it all off, I have lots of energy today I must be pregnant or something. I have energy swings like mood swings!!). I have gotten the house cleaned, the back porch cleaned and swept (and the porch is huge) and some other light work that needed to be done outside completed. It is not planting the flowers I want and need to plant, but I don't want to over do it.
I think the great weather helps the energy too!
Last weekend, we went and got Daddy a new, nice gas grill. We have had a cheap, horrible charcoal (although we like the flavor of charcoal grilling) since we moved down here. That is part of Daddy's BIG 3-0 birthday present, so we let him spend a little more than I would normally spend for a grill!! But he did his research on it.
Tonight, he is putting that great grill to work. We will enjoy the weather outside while grilling some BBQ chicken. YUM!!!!

Storytime
I took Andrew to storytime at the library this morning. There were about seven toddlers there. The librarian does a great job, especially with seven toddlers running around while she is reading!
Andrew loved it. They started out doing nursery rhymes and songs. He did not get too involved in the music, but he sat there sucking his thumb with a HUGE smile on his face. He was a little more involved with the stories. At home when we read, the first time through the book we just talk about what is in the pictures. I found that if I try to just read the story to him he spends the whole time pointing to things in the pictures. So, we go through the book, look at pictures and then we read the story. While we are reading the book we choose one thing to point out on each page. He does great with this at HOME. At the library, he wanted to get up and stand in front of the librarian so he could point to the pictures. Doesn't work quite as well there!! But, overall, he did a great job for his first time.
After the music and stories they let the kids color and play with toys. There were bins with building stuff (knex, clipos, etc), a bin of mardi gras beads, puzzles, etc. He tested out all the toys, but he found a bunch of plastic cups. He spent the rest of the time we were there stacking cups and unstacking cups. He had a great time. We were there about an hour and he came home and passed out.

Bryce is Reading
I was not sure it would ever happen. Bryce is reading, very well! I honestly wondered if he would get it because he doesn't sit still long enough to teach him how to read. When he would sit with us and let us read, he would copy everything we say instead of listening.
The books he got from the library were easy reader books. Yesterday he read them to us. He only asked for help a couple of times, and he actually knew the word, just asked if he was right.
He has just suddenly picked it up. The first list of words that were sent home from school, I was not sure we would ever get. Now, he is getting words quickly and easily sounding out words he does not know.
I am so proud of him and his progress.

Bryce Bugs
Paul was working on his fish tank tonight. Bryce likes to sit and stare and study everything in the tank. He was somewhat helping Daddy, but then disappeared to the side of the tank. Daddy asked what he was doing and he said he was looking at the bugs. Daddy ignored him for a while, but he was so adament about it that he finally went to look. Sure enough, there are tiny little white ladybug looking bugs in the bottom of the tank.
Daddy told Bryce they were Bryce Bugs. Bryce looked at him funny and Daddy explained that sometimes scientist name their findings after themselves.
Bryce is very proud to have Bryce Bugs in Daddy's tank. We assume they came from the plants that he ordered and put in there.

Dead Day
Something....make that SOMEONE, is sucking the life right out of me today. I cannot get going today, and it is 3:30! I told Daddy she must be doubling in size today because EVERY ounce of energy in me is gone.
Andrew has been great today. He laid on the couch with me all morning and watched cartoons. Then he took a long nap (as did I). I decided I should probably NOT lay on the couch this afternoon when he went and got me BOTH his blankies, gave me a kiss, said night-night and went and sat down. Nothing good can come from a two year old tucking me in and acting innocent!! I think his brain was working overtime with what he could get into.
If everyone is lucky, I will muster the energy to fix dinner. If not, sorry Daddy, but it will be waiting on you. This is me listening to my body and taking it easy today.
(I DID load the dishwasher and do the laundry, so it hasn't been a completely lazy day.)

Blonde Moment
Isaac just came out of his room with a confused look on his face.
"They made my underwear wrong. They put the tag on the outside of my underwear."
He was dead serious.

Library Visit
We took all the boys to the library last night to get their cards. When they saw that Andrew had one, they ALL wanted one (as we figured they would). It took a LONG time just to get the information put into the computer system (I had brought home the applications to fill out) for four people.
I took Isaac over to the easy-readers. He just grabbed 8 books off the shelf and was done. He didn't even look at what he got. Bryce grabbed a few off the shelf and then asked for fireman books.
Caleb.....oh Caleb! He got several books on the Titanic, a book on the Hindenburg, a cookbook an origami book and tried to get a book on smoking. I asked why the book on smoking. He said that it would teach him not to smoke. I told him I thought he already knew better. He said he did, but this would teach him the bad effects and scare him away from them. Is smoking something he is considering?
As the boys were checking out, the older man checking Caleb out commented on the books on the Titanic and Hindenburg. Caleb says "I just like destruction." Isn't that right!!!!!
The man told him he should get books on CONSTRUCTION instead of DESTRUCTION!

"I am Jealous."
Last night I asked Bryce if he turned in his field trip money. He said his teacher would not take it so he gave it to a students mother. Daddy said that if he did not turn it in to the correct person he would not get to go on the field trip. There was silence. I told him if he was concerned about it to ask his teacher if she got it.
A few minutes later Bryce says, "I am pretty jealous about it."
"What?" I asked. I had not heard him use the word jealous before.
"I am pretty jealous about whether I gave the money to the right person."
"You mean concerned?"
I asked if all of the kids were giving their money to this parent, he said they were along with permission slips, so I am sure he gave it to the right person.

We had to go run a few errands this morning. Andrew insisted on wearing this hat. Would have been great if it wasn't so windy (and I had brought the stroller).
FYI: I don't recommend taking a two year old to the post office on a Monday morning without a stroller. Especially while carrying a wrapped gift and trying to find a box it will fit in. On the up side, everyone who was in the post office had their days lifted by Andrew walking up and greeting them each, individually with a wave and hearty hello.
Gotta love him!
We need to work on those sweet, but loud, hellos and goodbyes at the library too. :)
Caleb Translations
These are some words Caleb CONTINUOUSLY mispronounces. I am really beginning to think he does this on purpose. He is the type that absorbs every thing he hears like a sponge, yet he can't remember how to pronounce these common words?
bass = base;
citrus = sytrus;
hammock = ham-ock;
algae = allergy
bass = base;
citrus = sytrus;
hammock = ham-ock;
algae = allergy
FINALLY!!
Among the many things we have NOT done since we moved into our house six months ago, was visit the library. I know, I know, but my lack of energy and busyness with various house projects, etc., it is just something we have not taken the time to do.
This morning, while I was out running errands, I decided to check it out. I want the boys to be familiar with it before this summer because they all love to read and can be involved with the library kids programs.
Sadly, Andrew is the first of all of the boys to get a library card here. I wasn't going to get him one since he can't keep up with his own (the older three will be responsible for their own), but the librarian told me I should because the kids cards do not accrue fines. CHANGE MY MIND QUICK!! They are only allowed to check out books from the kids section, but I don't forsee AJ looking for books on making rockets anytime soon (Caleb might be another story).
The older boys can check out research books for school assignments on their cards, but that is the only exception.
Each card can have FIFTY things checked out at one time. We won't tell the kids that!! Can you imagine, I would need a Uhaul to get it all home!!!
I am going to try to start taking Andrew to story time on Wednesday mornings. He needs to get around other kids his age. It is right around his naptime, so we will try and see how it goes.
The boys will be excited to learn that they will get to go get their own cards and start visiting the library. :)

Lactose Intolerant, No More?
It appears as though Andrew might be outgrowing his lactose intolerance problems. After he was given ice cream the other day and had NO problems from it, we have been a little more lenient on giving him food with lactose in it (like baked potatoes with cheese AND sour cream). Even eating this stuff, his "diaper issues" seem to be getting BETTER!
Daddy and I are thinking how awesome it would not have to buy the special milk and food for him. We would save a minimum of $12 a week JUST in lactose free milk.
We are not going to just stop the diet he has been on. We will keep slowly trying different things and see how his tummy handles it. We are very encouraged by what we are seeing, though. Especially since we were told he probably would not outgrow it!
