I haven't written a lot in the last couple of weeks because, well, because not much has been going on at all. Our lives are really normal and boring, but I love it that way, I hate big surprises (at least bad big surprises).
Since nothing has really been going on I thought I would entertain you all by these few photos I've taken on my phone. Don't worry, I know there are not pictures of Claire. It's not because I don't love her, because trust me, I do, it's just she A) won't sit still for two seconds to get a half-decent picture and B) she absolutely hates to smile for cameras...trust me on this one...it's quite miserable when we try to get her pictures taken.
I took Emma to Disney on Ice on Saturday. She was in HEAVEN! She ran in that morning almost shaking, saying, "Mommy! Today we get to go see the princesses!!!" I told her yes, but she needed to go back to bed for a little bit (it was like 5 in the morning). She just HAD to dress-up like Rapunzel, I figured why not. It was so cute, the whole time she kept saying, "Mommy, people will think I'm the real Rapunzel because I have really long hair and am dressed like her, but I'm not the real Rapunzel! That's silly." I love my not so baby girl! The reason it was just Emma and I was because Neil detests ice skating, so instead of taking the whole family he said he would stay home and watch Claire while Emma and I went, it was totally worth every penny to see the pure joy in that girl's face. I'm not going to lie, I almost cried to see her so full of joy.
A few weeks ago is snowed enough for there to be a skiff of snow on the ground. Emma ran inside, got all dolled up in her winter clothes, and headed outside to play in the snow with her friends. A little wile later she comes running inside to grab a "big" carrot for the snowman's nose she told me she was making. I got her one and she ran back outside. A few minutes later she runs in again telling me she needs some grapes for her snowman's eyes. I asked her what she was going to use for the mouth...she was stumped. So I grabbed her a whole bunch of grapes for both the eyes and mouth. She was so thrilled. This was her finished product. I think it's pretty amazing. It just needs to snow more so she can make more now.
See...not a lot going on. This pregnancy is absolutely HEAVEN (knock on wood). I get a little yucky feeling if I haven't eaten anything in a while, but that's nothing. Plus, I don't like smells whatsoever, whether it smells good or bad, I just don't like strong smells, but again, nothing. Especially compared to Emma and Claire's pregnancies...miserable absolutely miserable, especially Emma. That's our boring life, enjoy.
