Still here......

Yes, we are still here! I seriously have to do better keeping up with this little blog!! Right now me and Gracie are the only ones awake. The child cannot sleep past 6:45, her body has a little alarm clock I guess! Honestly, it drives me CRAZY!!! Hale usually gets up with the kids and lets me go back to sleep, so I really should not complain. He is really being a troooper lately! I am sooooooo tired that after the kids go to bed I usually come back downstairs and we watch our shows. What in the world would we do without DVR? Anyway, I have been falling asleep laying down with Weston every night. I still haven't watched Dancing with the Stars from last Tuesday!!!

We had a pretty un eventful week last week. Here are a few pictures of my crazy kids! They love to go into Weston's closet and find whatever they can to wear, especially things that don't match and any kind of old costumes! Gracie loves to wear Weston's clothes!! AHHHH!! The one of Gracie in my glasses I thought was cute!

Gotta get ready for church, Hale will be happy since I let him sleep in! Ya think that will make up for his Hogs losing again? Probably not. Have a great week!

playing catch up

Last week was super busy at our house so I have not been on the computer much. We stared back to Mother's Day Out on Tuesday. Gracie and I both had a great day! I have a really good class, and Gracie LOVED her class. She was so excited because she got to take a backpack like Weston. Wednesday I had a Room Mom meeting at Weston's school, and I had planned on catching up on laundry (again!!!) but when Gracie took a nap that day.....so did I!! Friday was crazy!! I had an ultrasound at 8:30 that morning. So I took the kids to Jennifer's at 8, Hale met me at the doctor, and my fears were calmed......there was a heartbeat, there is only ONE baby, and everything looks good!! Praise God!!! I don't know why, but I was so worried. Our little blessing #3 is due to make an appearance April 14th, which in my world is actually March. Weston and Gracie were 3 weeks early and small, so the doctor ran some special type of blood test to check and see if I have some kind of problem that causes low birth weight. Please pray this comes back negative, because if I do have this I will have to have some type of blood thinner everyday. From what I hear from other people this is a shot in my stomach!!!! Lord help me!

Anyway, back to Friday.....busy day. I had the ultrasound that morning, then I went to pick Gracie up and had to be back at the Dr. at 11:00 for my appointment. That took forever, and chatterbox Gracie was talking to everyone she saw! We had to be at Weston's school at 1:00 for D.E.A.R. Day. This is when the high school football players come to read to the kids....so cute! After that, I took Gracie home for a nap, Mom came over to stay with her, and I had to go back the school with cupcakes for the class because everyone turned in permission slips for the Read-A-Thon. I was about to fall out by this time, so I checked Weston and Paige out a little early! They both wore their "Dragon" wear that day so we had to get a picture! We took Paige home and Weston and I went to Blockbuster to get a movie for "movie night". We got "Race to Witch Mountain", but only Hale stayed awake for the whole thing. He said it was really good!

Sooooooo....here is our week in pictures!

back to school....again

Tomorrow Gracie and I go back to school!! I hate to say it, because I really love teaching preschool....but I am sooooooooo tired that I am not sure I will make it through the day. I don't mean to sound like "poor pitiful me" on ya'll, but this pregnancy is ALREADY proving to be the hardest so far. And seriously, it seems like we just got out of school. I know it really was May, but even though I have said it a million times, this summer flew by!! Weston is doing better with school. He still says he wants to go back to Kindergarten because first grade is way too much work! Ha....if he only knew how much worse it will get. He likes his teacher okay, but there are some little boys that just don't seem very nice. By no means is my child perfect, he is very sensitive and usually very thoughtful. He came home the other day and said one of the boys told him he was taking him off his "friend list" and he was heartbroken (as was I). That may sound so silly, but ya know, kids are mean!!! Last year, he and the other boys in his class loved each other, and seemed to have similar personalities. I am just praying about it, and all you can do is love them and hope that in the end they choose good christian friends.
Anyway, enough rambling...Hale is waiting on me to come watch Big Brother, we are so addicted to reality tv!!
Everyone have a great (short) week!!

sweet girl

The last few days we have just been hanging around the house. I am trying to catch up on laundry and cleaning, and Gracie has been playing sooooo good. She loves to watch tv and I usually have to make her go play, but yesterday and today she has just been so cute! Yesterday I was cleaning the kitchen and realized that she had been very quiet, which usually means trouble. When I went into the living room she was just playing with her little doll house, talking to herself....it was so sweet. Then today when I was in our room folding clothes, I went to see what she was doing and I found her in her room having a little tea party. So precious! I love that girl!
