M.I.A

I realize it's been quite some time since my last post and I'm sure there are plenty of reasons I can think of as to why that is, but really I just haven't felt up to it. This pregnancy has really been kickin' my butt, and I'm finally starting to get on top of it...I hope. I don't remember the nausea and vomitting lasting quite so long in my last 2, but perhaps I just blocked it out. Not to mention how tired I feel all the time! It could be the 2 extra bodies that constantly keep me on my toes and rarely allow me to get comfy for too long!

We have gotten tons of rain in the last several weeks! Normally, I love the rain;however, when your backyard starts looking like this.... you tend to start dreading every time it starts raining!!! And the mud that's left behind is a completely different story! My kids cannot resist the mud and alway come back from playing outside covered in it.

A few weeks ago we started a project that I've wanted to have done for ages. We can't afford a new kitchen table now, and to be honest, my kids would probably destroy it in minutes; so we decided to give ours a facelift. Actually, the chairs are the only ones that made the change, but hopefully soon the rest will follow! What once was black looks even better in.... Red! The table will eventually turn black...when we get a chance, but at least its a start!

Taylor has also been really enjoying pre-school lately. I'm glad she has that to get her out of the house since I haven't been up for much of anything lately. She seems to be doing really well which makes me happy since we've struggled at home with her when it comes to listening and doing as she's told. I suppose she's reacting to the way things have been, but its good to know that she doesn't act out at school. She came home the other day after having taken a trip to the moon.... She even brought back a moon rock! Boston had to get in on the action too and thought her helmet was pretty cool! She also came home that day with a special treat that she told me only her and a couple other kids got because they had done so well with their writing! Talk about a proud mommy moment!When my kids are screaming at each other or fighting with fists, they come up with some good ways to entertain themselves while I'm dead to the world on the couch! This little game seemed to occupy them for quite awhile and they were even nice enough to take turns!
We can't wait until Friday when we find out what this baby is and who will be officially outnumbered. Curtis left today for New Jersey and doesn't get home until Friday evening. I'll be finding out on my own and surprising him later with the news when we pick him up in Vegas. Taylor woke up sick today, which always happens when Curtis goes outta town, and I'm just hoping to make it through the week on my own and still not feeling 100%. Hopefully my posts will not be so few and far between and I can do a better job of documenting the exciting lives that we lead!
