DATE NIGHT

We usually go out on a date, just the two of us, on F R I D A Y S
But we thought it would be fun to have a family date. I did the girls hair and asked them all to dress up a little. A few responses were "Why, it isn't Sunday?" I reminded them that when I go out with Daddy I try to make it special by dressing a little nicer and taking the time to look my best. The girls were all for it, I even got suckered in to letting them wear a little

We ate out at the K E G
We had a really pleasant evening together. I prepped the kids before hand reminding them of good manners and told them that the best compliment I could get would be to have a total stranger comment on how well behaved my children were, to see the good that I see every day, not just "W O W 5 kids." ( We know what the wow means)

To my astonishment as we were leaving a nice couple that was seated right beside us said, "Wow what well behaved children, and 5 of them!" I saw the smiles this created on my children's faces.
WE HAD SUCH A LOVELY EVENING TOGETHER




I love the look on Emma's face in this picture, oh, and Ethan's


Last Sunday before all the S N O W melted we thought we should create our own snowman. Brian was at meetings and we had so much fun together

"The family that plays together stays together"
(I know that is not the original quote but I really think it is true as well)

Bread Day

As you can see by my countdown I don't have much time left until I will have a sweet little baby in my arms. I am so excited to meet this precious little one, boy or girl. I have been feeling like it will be a girl, and Brian is pretty confident it is a boy.....to say the least we are a house divided! All the girls voting GIRL and all the boys voting BOY ! All my other babies were born at either 38 or 39 weeks so it could be anytime really. So.... today I decided to be ambitious and have a bread day . A friend of mine shared a new bread recipe with me and as most of you know I LOVE MAKING HOMEMADE BREAD, no store bought bread in this country house! And so today I decided to make a big batch to hopefully last until I have this baby. My friend even shared a secret on how to make BAGELS. Mmmmmm, they are so delicious. I think my favorite part about making bread is watching my kids come home from school on bread day and hearing....."Mommy it smells so good," "You made ...

still no baby yet! isn't this a great one of me, wish I could say I am making that face because I am in labor! Just a few round pictures of me, before I POP! Yes I am really trying to look happy and now you are all forced to make MANY comments about how great I look, how tiny I am AND SO ON! I think there must be something up with my due dates. My original due date was April 10th....so I guess I could have another week or more of pregnancy to endure. However, my ultrasound date was 3 weeks 7 days off so the DR decided to bump my date forward to April 1st, 2009! I feel like my body is trying to surrender and yet this baby is not quite ready to come into the world yet! Gotta trust the process I guess, baby will come when he/she is good and ready! I decided to remove the baby gadget that counted down the days so we all could be surprised together without counting DAYS! I for one, am going a little crazy with all the "what if's!" So.....wish me luck....say a little pray...
