Just a note

The kids are both taking naps and I'm agonizing over what to do with dinner. Do you ever find when your pregnant the thought of cooking just makes you want to gag? The problem is that nothing in my pantry looks even remotely good to me. I've been craving subway's lately. Actually I'll crave anything as long as I don't have to cook it! Now that I've vented about that, I just wanted to quickly catch you all up on the latest that's been going on at our house. Tomorrow we leave for St. George for the weekend. I'm soooo excited because my sister Kristen who's living in California is flying in to run the St. George marathon. I'm excited to see her run this. She is so amazing I wish I was half a disciplined as she is. She's done half a dozen marathons already. She also just had a baby last January, so obviously she doesn't count being a busy mom as any excuse to not get out there and go running. Dan's parents have a place down there and they are going as well as Dan's brothers. I'll post some pics when we get back.
Last week I went into the doctor's. The baby is doing fine. I'm about 13 weeks along now and I feel like I'm getting over the worst part when you feel sick and tired all the time. I have alot more energy now and I feel like I'm at least getting back into the swing of things again. I had a very proud moment today I was able to deep clean all three bathrooms! I felt very satisfied with myself.
The kids are doing great. I swear they get cuter every day. Last night Dan was at a meeting so I decided to allow the kids to watch a movie. Kirk came downstairs a little while later. Soon after Kate followed. From the top of the steps she said "Mommy I get scared when kirk isn't up her by me". I said to Kirk "Kate's scared by her self." He immediately said "Kate's scared, ohhh, Kate's scared, ohhh, kate's scared" As he ran upstairs to be with her. I thought that was so sweet. As a parent you see your kids fight and wonder if there's any sibling love between your kids. Then little moments like these happen and you know that they really do care about each other. In spite of the occasional hair pulling our kids do really love each other!
Dan's doing great. He actually has a new job at Lifetime. He is now finding outside plastic work for the plastic division. I guess that there capacity is down becasue of the lousy economy, and so they are looking for more outside work. He just found a deal for a company that makes trash bins. They will be making the plastic lids for them. I think he's been really excited about having something new.
Another cute thing the kids said the other day was when we were putting up the halloween decorations. Kate was so excited. As we were putting them out she kept saying, "It's so great to do halloween today mommy, it's so great to do halloween!". Our kids say the cutest things. Kirk is really talking alot more now. We were nervous about is speech development for awhile. He couldn't hear when he was a newborn because he had fluid in his ears. Finally when he was about six months old he passed a hearing test. As he grew he just wasn't talking as quickly as he should have been. I did take him into the speech therapist several months ago. She said that he was on the lower end of normal. But since then he's been talking so much more. He copies everything Kate says. He is a very sweet little guy.
