Jenga is the best game ever!!
We went out with Matthew, Toni and Carter on Friday night and then got a dose of baby CPR from our Garner Fire Capt'n. After the adult stuff, Carter and I got to play our favorite game JENGA. I've had this game probably since I was in 4th grade (the date on the box shows 1986). I taught Carter last time to tap on the block to make sure you picked one that could slide out easy, and now he's a master at it. We play a few rounds then its on to building w/ the blocks or making towers.

35 weeks....35 days to go!!!
That is what today's Baby Center email said....wow! This is getting close! According to all the research she is just packing on the pounds at this point- you know how excited I am about that!
We're almost ready....maybe???! Have the Dreft ready & will wash up her things over Christmas break. Yes, we are working on the handles to the dresser- they will be painted & on by the end of the weekend if it will ever stop raining. Need to finish up the curtain, but really that isn't the highest thing on the list! Uncle Matt has his plans laid out for her doll house/bookshelf. Once he is done we'll get it painted & fill it up- can't wait for that! I have to get the cushions made for the glider....don't tell Seth I haven't called the lady yet- that can be our secret! It rocks with or without the cushions- a pillow will make do until they are done- just as long as it rocks!!!
We finish up our birthing classes this Saturday. They have been great. We decided to take private classes with a lady I know who also teaches classes at Rex. These are a little more in depth, give more natural information (yes, we really do hope to go as natural as possible- not saying 'no' to the meds, but will try to do what we can without them- pray!!), and she puts a Christian persepective in as well. They have been great! & surprise- the other couple in the class are friends of ours from church- they walked in & we all started to laugh- had no clue, small world!
3 more day until Christmas break! Excited about the break, but realizing how much I have to get ready at work & how little time is left there...yikes! I have some sub plans to write over the holidays! My kids threw me a surprise baby shower last week- so cute! The biggest surprise of all was they kept it a secret, I had NO clue! Of course I have the best Room Mom who set it all up- helps when you hand pick your friend to be your Room Mom (love ya Monica!!). They showered Olivia with lots of books & some cute little clothes & toys. They were so excited- that huge cake with all that icing added to the excitment, along with the fact that they just got themselves out of the history lesson for the afternoon!!! What a great job I have!
Well, that is probably more information than any of you wanted, but we hadn't posted in a while. Hope you have a very Merry Christmas. By the way, don't keep checking the mailbox for our Christmas card.....you won't find it this year! We know what you really want is a birth announcement in a few weeks!!
