Yesterday was the first day of October which means....It's Baby Month!!!
I can't believe that Jude is due 19 days. I have so many things that I still need to get done before he arrives. Here is my "to do" list.
1. Deep Clean House (I've done both bathrooms so far)
2. Go through the kids clothes and put clothes in totes
3. Make a Good Will run
4. Buy the last few items that Jude needs
5. Make freezer meals
6. Pack hospital bag
7. Clean & vacuum the van
8. Do a DIY project for Alanna's room
I'm sure I'm forgetting some things but I think that list is going to keep me pretty busy for now.
The freezer meals and deep cleaning are pretty time consuming and hard to get done along with home-schooling, but I'm really hoping to have it all done by the end of next week. I function so much better in a really clean organized house and I know I will love having some meals in the freezer once Jude gets here.
The past week I've been dealing with a physical issue caused by the pregnancy and it's been pretty painful. I won't go into details about it because it's not anything that most people want to chat about so I'll spare you all that. But it's made this last week a little challenging and I'm really ready to have Jude and work on getting better.
We've had a lot of rain here this week so we've spent a lot of time inside. I think all of us are ready for the rain to stop so we can enjoy some much needed outside time. We were supposed to go to the apple orchard tomorrow but that is most certainly not happening now. I'm so bummed. I'm hoping we can go one day next week.
This week Liam sneaked out of the house for the first time. Yes, I agree...he's a little young for that :) He was in quiet time the other day and I had his window open letting some fresh air in. I was paying bills and all of a sudden I hear the front glass door open. I knew I hadn't heard Nathan's truck pull in the driveway so I wondered who on earth it could be? Then I could tell it was a child messing with the front door knob. I opened the door and Liam was standing there in his Buzz Lightyear costume that I just bought him. (He's in love with it and wears it almost every day) I said to him "Liam what are you doing outside and how did you get out here?" He said "I went out the front door!" I told him he did not because I was sitting there by the door the whole time. He finally said he opened the screen and went out the window! Never.a.dull.moment with my little Liam!
Ruy had Crazy Hair Night at Awanas this past Wednesday. I totally forgot about it until about 4:30 on Wednesday afternoon when Ruy came up to me while I was folding his laundry and said "Oh Mom don't forget it's Crazy Hair Night!" AH!!! I quickly got all the kids together, threw them in the van, and rushed up to the hair store to buy some hair glue for his hair. Nathan did his hair while I got the kids dinner and then we rushed out the door to get him to Awanas on time. I could not believe I completely forgot about it! But it all worked out despite my forgetfulness. Ruy loved his hair and he said everyone else thought it looked pretty cool as well.
The kids have been trying to find ways to burn off some energy through all this rain we've been having. Thank goodness for our big front porch. At least they can still have somewhere to "run" just a little bit. The boys have been sword fighting on the front porch the past two days while Alanna just runs back and forth and watches them. She tried to sneak down into the rain a few times as well.
I hope you all enjoy your weekend!!
