Maternity Leave!!

I really haven't written anything about my current pregnancy. Well, I was officially due YESTERDAY!! I'm not surprised I'm late though. Noah was a week late himself. I feel fine right now. I don't feel anything really happening at all. I've had a very uneventful pregnancy, which is a good thing. Everything is good right now too. I go in for a non-stress test on Tuesday to check movement and stuff. My dr. will see where I'm at, and if nothing has changed too much we'll be scheduling something. I'm thinking this baby girl will make her appearance next week sometime. It better be next week! I have officially started my maternity leave from school. Today was my last day. Hooray! I am very excited. I won't have to go back, and I'll have the whole summer off to be with my kids. I'm very excited about that. If nothing happens on it's own, then I'll have a couple of days next week to get my house in order. You know me! I've got to have things organized.

It's now time for me to do a little shopping. My school is having a HUGE rummage sale in the gym tomorrow and teachers get to shop early, so I'm here tonight to get some little girl stuff. How great!

I'll leave you with some pics of Noah. This is actually his 2nd haircut since I forgot my camera the first time. Oh well. It's still the same! He really loves getting it done.

Spring Break

Well, spring break has come and gone. Noah and I had a great time hanging out together. We did something every day. Last Wednesday we went to the YMCA for open gymnastics time. Noah had the time of his life!! He loved hanging from the rings and having me swing him. There were bouncy surfaces to jump on and roll on. It was great! The only bad thing was leaving. Noah threw the worst tantrum of his life when we had to go. I had to hang on to him tight just to get out of the room. Then I had to pin him down with my leg to get his socks and shoes on. He walked out of the building, but cried the whole way out. Besides that, it was a great time!

On Thursday we went to storytime at the library. Noah goes every week with his daycare friends and behaves well every time. Well, he didn't for me! He wanted to stand up and mess around while the stories were going on. He wouldn't sit down when I asked him to, so we had to leave early. My mom says that's because I'm his mother. Kids behave better for people other than their moms. I've heard that from the parents of my students before, but now I understand!

I don't want you to think he was a little pistol the whole break. We actually had fun and he was great. I just have to wonder why kids don't behave when you really, really want them to!

Below are just some pictures of goofing off in the house. There's one of Tyler and Noah where Tyler put gel in Noah's hair and made a little mohawk. I couldn't resist taking a picture.


He loves talking on the phone:

Stacking cans is his latest fun project:




He looks ready for school!

Ready for Spring

Long time, no write! Yeah, I just have been so busy lately. We're all doing pretty good in Wisconsin. Another big storm is supposed to hit us tonight. Activities are already getting cancelled in anticipation of it. I'm ready for spring!

I don't have much news to say. Just wanted to take some time to put some new pics of Noah on here. He loves to play with Daddy's hats and gloves. Tucker, on the other hand, doesn't like gloves that much. (No Noahs were harmed in this picture.)

Noah made his friends some little Valentine's bags. He just had to put some Teddy Grahams in baggies and I put a little note with them. Noah ended up eating a lot of them too. (One for my friend, two for me. :)

Here we are playing a little hide and seek. Noah likes to hide and seek at the same time.


Snuggling with Daddy is a favorite pasttime.


Here's an icicle that I broke off the house by our kitchen window. It was pretty huge!
