March update

I am not doing very good at updating this blog....but am trying harder to improve.  We have had some busy days around here.  Vincent is checking out karate these days...he has only gone to one class so far, but they tell us he did great. I think during the summer he will do tumbling and karate once soccer is over.  Mia is going to start dance class as well.

The pregnancy is going better....little spurts of back pain here and there.  Guess its expected with protruding abdomen, not bad compared to when I was pregnant with Mia.  Here's a recent picture of the itty creature in my belly and the kids.  24 weeks here....now 26 weeks. 


It was beautiful out the other day...Sill made the kids wear coats though. Took advantage of it and played outside for awhile.  Little strange to see them riding scooters with snow in the background and running into snow banks. 



Vincent had Kindergarten Round Up...he loved it!  They met their teachers.  Played a silly song game..which he remembers, made a coloring page of sunflowers and planted a flower to bring home. He is ready to go back he said...is mom ready????

My little teacher

My little teacher...Miss Mia..
She has been way too quiet for too long....I go to check on her and yes her room is destroyed, but she is teaching all of her babies...I better sit down now...I am getting lectured.  She reads them stories and then shows them how to color and even cut paper...oh yeah! 
 I love LOVE the fact that she has her high heels on while teaching...legs crossed..
 Thinking....

 Song time..everyone better sing along...are you singing???
 Vincent just being Vincent....goof ball

 Tried to get her to smile...this is what I get




Happy Birthday Aunt Kris

Aunt Kris turned 60....not a big deal...
The family met half way in Colby KS.  Which would have been a great time if I hadn't had oh...several things go wrong. First I chipped my back tooth while eating a goldfish of the kids...what the....
then my lower back was aching the whole time...just to top it off with getting sick during the night..coughing all night, unable to breath and get comfortable.  The next morning I was in so much pain...and being 21 weeks pregnant at the time...didn't know if the back pain was contractions or sickness...off to the ER we go.  The doctor there was very rude...just leave it at that.  So I miserable and to top it off the cold medicine I was taking is NOT good during pregnancy.  Just great.  Thankful my parents drove and I had planned to stay at their house for a couple of days till Chris was home from Germany. I owe them so many thanks for watching the kids to allow me to rest. The virus lasted a week...just love using my maternity leave.

But on a good note...Happy Birthday Aunt Kris...we had to add a few decorations to her hotel room

 Singing Happy Birthday to Aunt Kris...the kids can't wait to have fudge frosting cake.
 And what kind of party would it be without a pinata.....doesn't every 60 year old women expect a pinata at their party????



 Birthday girl...with her new hat...
 I made her a little candy bouquet...
This is your day! TAKE 5 because you need no REISEN

To celebrate and turning 40 is nothing to SNICKER about.
In fact, this is when you have BUTTERFINGERS
And your mind starts playing TWIX on you.
You’re WHATCHAMACALLIT isn’t working properly,
You’ll do things NOW & LATER
And forget them both.
You’ll even begin to swear on PAYDAYS that
You made 100 GRAND when in fact
It was only SKITTLES.

So when looking back on the days of your life,
Remembering all the SMARTIES and NERDS
And those AIRHEADS on 5th AVENUE.
Think of the fun shared with your friends
And all the CHUCKLES you shared with your
3 MUSKATEERS and MR GOODBAR.

Because whether at the SNO CAPS or a SYMPHONY
You’ve been a LIFESAVER to so many.

Hope your birthday leaves you with
GOOD N PLENTY.

Happy Birthday!

 
We love you!!!

Happy Valentine's

Vincent and Mia did an awesome job of making most of their Valentine's by themselves.  They worked hard for several days....can't do it all at one time...mommy would have pulled her hair out. 
 Vince working hard with the glue
 Mia planning what her next step is...
 Placing the eyes for her butterflies!!
 Mia's final Butterfly Valentine
 Vincent's final Super hero lollipops
 Happy Valentine's Day
