This week's fun

Well the count down is on. I've only got about two weeks to go before I'll have the baby and boy am I ready! I've found that I feel like I'm back into my first trimester again. I just feel tired, and yucky. I went into the doctor this week, he said that baby looks good, and he's growing like a weed. The ultra sound reads that he's already in the low 8's for weight. I think he's going to be a big one. I guess it's good if he's going to be able to keep up with Kirk. I'm not sure how Kirk is going to react to the the baby being born. He seems to think that the baby will stay in my tummy forever. I took the kids with me into the doctors appointment, and Kirk just incessantly repeated, "don't get the baby out mom, don't get the baby out, the baby doesn't come out." Yesterday I tried to explain to him that in a couple of weeks the baby will be here (kids don't understand time so I didn't get far). He was pretty upset and insisted that the baby stay inside my tummy. I'm sure once the baby's here and he has sometime to adjust, he'll love it. Dan just started on the garden today. We are really gun ho on it this year. Last year we never got it in, and I dearly missed the fresh produce in the fall. It's a little early to do everything, but he got it tilled up, and were starting peas, carrots, onions, and lettuce. In the past the lettuce hasn't turned out that great (okay really it made my tongue sting, it was terrible), but were giving it another shot. Yesterday was Kirk's official Birthday, although we celebrated it last week. I got a coupon in my e-mail for free tokens at chuck E Cheese's. We took the kids last night and they had a ball. That place is perfect for this age group. The games were very kid friendly. It was fun. The weather is warming up, and I just can't wait for spring! The kids have been able to play out on the swing set, and ride their scooters around. Kirk got a new cars scooter for his Birthday from his grandma Mower. He has picked up on it really well. He zoomed down our driveway and didn't even get scared. In fact Kate was in the lead, and their were a few times Kirk was bumping into the back of her, he was definitely tailing her. Well tonight it's off to Stake Conference. It's at 9:00 tomorrow, that will be a nice break for Dan, I'm really looking forward to sitting by him. So hopefully the next time I blog it will be from the hospital letting you know that I'm finally through with my pregnancy, and the baby is healthy and strong.

Kate and Kirk on their scooters. Thank heaven it's starting to warm up, the kids love playing outside. One snowy cold day a few weeks ago Kate wanted to go to the park. I told her we couldn't go until the snow melted some more. She then dramatcally responded "the snow is never going to melt, it will be winter forever"! At times that's precicely the way I felt about the snow to. But I'm glad to see that this wasn't the case, and though it felt long spring is on it's way.

Kirk and Kate playing at Chuck E. Cheese's. They had a blast there. They also got a hundred and fifty tickets. That was enough to buy two tiny suckers, a little ring, and a tiny lizzard. So affter buying fourty tokens the loot's worth maybe totaled 0.75, I'd say that chuck e. cheese's is doing okay.
