L's Apron
I made L an apron tonight. It took about an hour. I even made it without a pattern - woohoo! She was so excited to have her own apron made with love by her mama : -)

Thankful Thursday
I am thankful for many things this Thursday - mostly for my wonderful family. We have so many blessings - a nice roof over our heads, plenty of food in our tummies, clothes on our backs and mostly the thing we have is each other.
Daddy Piper got rained out today so he got to spend some quality time with S while I took L to her last swim lesson and then to the dr with me for another OB check. It is nice to get time alone with each child. Such fun to have great conversation without any interruptions. So we went to my OB check and things look great still. Dr seems pleased my weight gain, heartbeat was 130 (does that mean boy??) and the baby measured right on the money. Then we grabbed some Quiznos and brought lunch home to "the boys".
This evening after naps and dinner, we went out in the pool for a bit. That is always fun family time!
Now off to bed with a grateful heart for my blessed life.

Go Fish
I forgot to write about L playing "Go Fish" . She got the card game for her birthday and we played it for the first time last weekend. She is really good at it! It is so fun to sit and play with her. A nice time for one on one. Boy is she competitive though - I have no idea where that comes from!

Gratefulness
Gratefulness: What I am feeling today.
Being home with my babies means more to me that words can describe. I love being the one to do fun things with them, fix their lunches, read books at naps, all the mundane and exciting things that come with being a SAHM mom. Today at nap, I read both their books and laid them down. L has been wanting to read her big sister book but we keep forgetting so today as I laid her down, we took the opportunity and read it. I snuggled with her on her bed and read it. Great one on one time - the time when conversations are the best and usually most meaningful because she isn't fighting for attention from her little brother. We talked about what it means to be a big sister and how she is excited to help take care of the new baby. We also talked about how lucky the new baby is to have a big sister like her!!
Nothing beats being a SAHM. Even when the days get long - it's still the best job ever!

More Rain
We had more rain this evening. Here are the kids out playing in it again:
This picture is taken just as a huge crack of thunder scared the kids:
It was a nice day. We had a weird morning though. I had some pregnancy complications (more of the same old, same old - just needed to rest some and it got better) and then S got super crabby for some reason. I held him for awhile after his daddy had a turn holding him and he fell asleep on me. It was uber weird for him to fall asleep @ 9:45 AM!!! He slept until 11:30. We got to thinking this afternoon that maybe it was the multiple ant bites he got yesterday that made him so sleepy this morning. We still don't quite understand it but he has been fine all afternoon. L and I went grocery shopping together this morning. It was so much fun to shop with her. She helped read off the list and marked things off as we added them to our cart. It was great mommy/daughter time for us! Then after lunch, her and I napped while the boys hung out outside and enjoyed the nice weather. We do have one thing we need to nip in the bud and that's her attitude. I didn't realize that the crabby, snotty attitude would start at age 4. Any tips? With all the rain, Daddy Piper's work is canceled for tomorrow. With the steady work over the past 12 weeks, it's been so nice not to have that worry on my mind but now with it dwindling a bit, that worry has creeped up on me again. Nothing that worrying is going to help - that's for sure. But still, I worry just the same...

Girl Just Wanna Have Fun!
I love having a daughter. In the most coolest and possible way, being a mom to a daughter is so much fun. Okay - true enough I might not think this when she is a teenager but right now, IT ROCKS!!
We went to Tarjay today because L thinks she no longer wants shorts for Spring but "pretty princess" dresses. Tarjay had some cotton ones on sale and fortunately, she liked them. She had found a cute little change purse in her toy box this morning and decided to have her Daddy fill it with "cash". She has also been interested in purchasing her own things so I let her do it today. I gave her $20, explained how much the dresses were and how many she could get with $20. She decided that she only wanted 3 dresses so she could use the leftover money to buy her sick brother a yo-yo. How sweet is she!! The funnest (not a word right?) part of the day though was when we get to the store, she has her sunglasses on and hops out of the van and throws that purse over her shoulder and marchs into Tarjay. It was so much fun to see her go. I wish I had a picture of how cute she looked with the sunglasses and purse. It was a fun shopping excursion. Really gives me a glimpse of the fun to be had in our future (I hope!!).
S is probably not sick. After having a fever for 3 days and not eating much, we realized tonight that he is cutting his 2 year molars. It was quite the A-Ha moment for the overworried mommy.
