Well I haven't felt very "bloggy" lately if that is a word! A lot has gone on but I have felt no desire to share it with the world! However I soon realized that we have family who regularly checks the blog, and I felt guilty that I hadn't updated in a while! So here is a blog purge! Everything that has happened over the last week and a half!
Last night Travis had a basketball meeting, and I had already promised Madison and Zachary that we would carve pumpkins. I had taken a glucose test and had a flu shot that morning ( more on that later.) and by 7pm I had no desire to play with pumpkin guts!! I did it anyway and it was pretty fun. We had gotten one of those kits that had a scrapper and saw knives along with patterns for your pumpkin. Madison read through the book and chose a bat on a grave stone, and Zachary stuck with the traditional face.

I did Madison's first because she had to go to bed and it took a lot longer than Zach's. They are making their "scary" faces!
The finished products! I think they turned out pretty good, if I do say so myself! The kids only like to look inside. They will not touch the guts. I had to convince Madison to throw away the bag of innards, she didn't even want to do that! She also told me that she will carve her own pumpkin when she is 29!After Madison was in bed I started on Zachary's pumpkin. He more of a traditionalists when it comes to pumpkins, so we chose the face pattern. It was a lot easier than Madison's and took about 1/2 the time!
This is him being a scary bat. And the next one is his self proclaimed scary face!

Alright now on to "helper boy." Last week our front door was a little wobbly. So I went and found the appropriate size Phillips head screw driver and set to work. Well once Zachary saw what I was doing he of course needed to join in the fun.

He was concentrating so hard! There were about 6 screws to tighten!
He was so proud that we was helping mommy! Both kids have been very helpful lately.
They tend to leave toys out (what kid doesn't right!) and I can't see them as of late so all I have to say is, "I just tripped over that and almost fell. Do you want me to fall and hurt Brynley?" And they rush to pick whatever it is up off the floor!! And on Sunday I have back to back meetings and Madison asked when I would be home. I said I will be home after the first to finish the dishes and then I had to go back for choir. Out of the blue she says, " I'll do the dishes for you so you don't have to do them when you get back!" She unloaded a very full dish washer!

Last Thursday also happened to be game day! Which meant that everyone needed to wear green and or yellow! With Madison's dress code at school we had to get creative. So we layered up! They can layer as long as the long sleeve fit within the dress code rules! So she was ducked out for school that day!

Well I am officially in my 3rd trimester! Which means that I have 10 or less weeks until the end! At my appointment yesterday I had to have blood drawn for a glucose test (which tests for gestational diabetes). 1 hour and 10 minutes before my appointment I had to drink this nasty orange glucose drink. It tasted like over powered tang, maybe even worse! I had only 10 minutes to chug it down. And after I drank it I was not allowed to drink or eat anything not even brush my teeth! GROSS! It was not a good morning. Then on top of that I had to have a flu shot! I think I feel worse today than yesterday.
I have still only gained 8 lbs total and I have 9 weeks left! I no longer have 4 weeks appointment! I only have about 3 maybe 4 left! It's so exciting! She is about 3.5 lbs and 14-16 inches long! Which means that she is running out of room!!

I guess that's all for now. I will post Halloween pictures so check back next week for those!! Sorry for the long post. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do!!!

The pumpkins turned out great!
I love the official scary face :)
How cool you are getting so much help from them at home... It must be in the air, my boys did lots of my chores here while I was at church meetings on Sunday too! Lets bottle that, whatta ya say?
The "O"... adorable!
Hey, I did the mom-only pumpkin carving with my kids too! Oh, the sacrifices we make for our kids! Passion wanted nothing to do with the "guts" either but Kindly stuck her hand right in! I was amazed! Well your jack-o-lanterns turned out great!
I can't believe how far along you are. It's going to be here before you know it - although I'm sure it's dragging on for you now! Hang in there. Did you decide on a middle name yet?
