Once there were some snowmen...

After getting more snow earlier this week, I finally convinced the boys to go out and play in it yesterday. This is a hard task because Liam does NOT like the cold at all. He usually lasts about 5 mintues and is ready to come in. At that point I think to myself that it was not worth the 10 minutes plus it took to get him in all of his snow stuff. Anyways, It was a nice sunny afternoon and not too cold so they actually stayed out and played in snow. Of course they wanted me to help them build a snowman, but as you can imagine it is hard for me to push a big snowball around when I am already carrying a large ball in my mid-section. So our snowman turned out small, but at least we built one. I am ready for the snow to be gone, but then I remember that it is still only February. Spring please come soon!

By the way, if you can't tell from the pictures my boys spend most of their time eating the snow instead of playing in it. I guess they are just really thirsty! :)

Preparing...

O.k, o.k., so I have been a slacker blogger lately. I guess things are just pretty boring around here. It was nice to have some warmer (45 degree) temperatures this week with the sun out, so I sent the boys out in the backyard to play. It sort of got my ready for Spring to come, but I had to remind myself that it is only the first week of February. The positive thing about it being February is that I only have two more months of being pregnant. The end can't come fast enough. I really prefer the baby out in my arms instead of inside me and cramped. With only two months left I am not prepared at all for a new baby. I realized this week that I need to get out any buy some essential things (diapers!) to be ready for new baby. Anyways, we did accomplish something this past week in preparing for our new arrival. The boys have new beds and a dresser. Yes, we actually bought some bedroom furniture (most of ours has been borrowed). The boys are super excited to sleep in their new beds tonight. I am interested to see IF they sleep in their new beds. Now we have to work on the other bedroom for new baby. At least we still have two months! For anyone wondering why I keep referring to our third child as new baby it is because we have yet to decide on a name. I'm sure we will know after she is born, but until then any suggestions?
