Happy Halloween

I hope everyone is having a 'Boo'tiful day.  Ha,ha,ha.  Sorry, couldn't help myself.  Anywho, the kids went trick or treating last night since tonight is Wednesday and we all have church.  We only go to grandparents' houses and to great grandparents' houses, so it wasn't a big deal.  The kids had a good time and they both racked up with lots of candy and other goodies.  Jon Kent asked me again today if we were going to go "Halloweening" tonight.  He's a cutie!

Well, I'm 18 weeks pregnant as of today.  I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow at 2:30pm for an ultrasound and hopefully we will find out the sex of the baby.  I'm hoping this little one isn't shy and shows us his/her goods!  I'll update once we get home and settled tomorrow evening.

I hope everyone has a great Halloween!

Homeschoolin'

Kent and I were out on a date the other night and we swung by Office Max to grab something for Kent's work.  Romantic, no?  Anyway, Kent was off looking at stuff and I was just browsing around.  I came to the preschool section and was looking at some of the books.  They had several different workbooks to choose from that taught kids ages 2-4 different things.  Letters, colors, numbers, etc.  So I grabbed one that was for ages 2-4 and that was supposed to get the child ready for preschool.  So today while we were eating breakfast I told Jon Kent that we were going to do some school at home today.  Because we haven't enrolled them in the "Mommy's Day Out" program yet because they were both sick last week and then this week they are going to get their flu shots.  So we are putting it off for another week.  Anyway, when I said the word school that boy's face lit up and he was ready!  So after we cleaned up from breakfast I got the little workbook out and tore out a page.  I set us up a little area on the kitchen table where he could do his "school" while Zoey colored.  Anyway, we only did one page today because I thought for sure he would be bored with it.  But he wasn't!  He did everything and once I explained how to do something like draw a line matching the two color trains to each other, he could do it!  I was just so proud of him!  After he was through with that, he colored with Zoey.  Then we went to read and play a little bit before nap time.  I'm trying to get them both into a routine of eating, learning, playing, nap, etc.  It won't be every single day but at least most.  So when they do start going to school they will be used to some form of a routine.  Anyway, I'm just proud of my little boy.  Because that's what he is, a boy.. he's certainly growing out of being a baby.. but he'll always be MY baby.. sniff, sniff.

Craft Time

Lately the weather has been a bit chilly to play in, so we have been having to stay indoors.  The afternoons are saved for outdoor playtime, so I really needed to come up with some more creative things to do while we were all inside.  So that is where construction paper always comes in handy.  The kids have been having fun in the last couple of days.  We are on a Halloween theme currently.  Once the holiday passes I'm sure we'll do something with a turkey in it.  =)  So anyway yall enjoy!!

Another Jon Kent Act

Enjoy!

17 weeks

I'm 17 weeks today.  One week from tomorrow we will hopefully be finding out whether our little caboose is a boy or a girl.  I'm looking forward to knowing what the baby is so we can start seriously looking at names.  We have a few, but so far none that Kent and I both have settled and agreed on.  Well, I'm pretty sure we have a girl's name but no sight of a boy's name so far.  Usually by now we have a name picked out for each.  I guess since this is our 3rd, we are kind of running out of names.  Anyway, I'm also feeling sickly again.  Ugh.  I thought it was something I ate yesterday, as I was in the bathroom last night from 1:30am-3:30am.  But now I'm starting to feel gaggy again and my stomach is doing flips..  I'm hoping it's just a passing type thing and won't be here long.  I thought I was done with all that mess!

The weather here has finally cooled off.  Actually it's pretty chilly.  Going from the 80s to the high 50s in a few short days is crazy.  But I'll take the cooler weather over the hot weather any day when I'm pregnant!  Hot days are just miserable!

Well, I guess I better go.  The kids are having an indoor picnic and it looks like they are finishing up.  I'll type at yall later!!

 

Update:  I added some pictures from this afternoon.

Jon Kent Singing

I took this video this morning after breakfast.  He was using his blocks as drums and singing Joey's Jumping on the bed.  He was really cute and he thought he could see himself singing on the camera.. LIVE.. he didn't quite understand that I had to record it first.  And yes, at the end he is crying but he quickly got over it once he saw himself on the camera. So all is well!  Enjoy the video!

 

Timeout Cutie!

We currently have no water pressure.  Well, we never have actual water pressure without our pump, to pump the water up the hill.  But even with the pump the water pressure is still low.  I heard Kent talking to the water department early this morning and they were supposed to send someone out sometime after 7am.  It's 8:17am right now and I haven't seen anyone or heard from anyone either.  Not to mention we can't flush the toilets right now and that's making potty training fun.  Jon Kent doesn't understand why he can't flush the toilet and I just keep telling him it's broken.  And then Zoey usually tries to help and she REALLY doesn't understand why she can't help flush the toilet.  I'm hoping it's fixed soon as I have about 4 loads of laundry to do, a kitchen floor to mop and some tea to make.

I took some pictures of Zoey in timeout Saturday night.  She looked so cute.  I forget why she was in timeout though.  I'm sure she either was hitting her brother or told me no after telling her to do something.  Timeouts usually work for us though.  The kids hate being still in one spot for any length of time, so it works.

We are supposed to get rain all day to day.  We really, really, really need it as we are in a serious drought.  On the news they were talking about if we didn't get any decent amount of rain by the summer, how they might have to start restricting indoor water usage.  They already have some restrictions on outdoor usage (not in my area though.. yet).  So any rain we get is good, but we need A LOT!
