I am the Lobster! Coo Coo ka-Choo!

John had a softball tournament yesterday that started at 9:30 and since his team kept winning we stayed until after 5:30...without sunscreen. Let me just say that his team has lost almost every game they have played in the last two years so with a single elimination tournament, I did NOT expect to be there all day...AT ALL. I feel like I was justified in not being prepared, plus the weather was amazingly wonderful. Warm with a gentle cool breeze and it was mostly cloudy so I doubt I would have thought to put sunscreen on anyway. Speaking of mostly cloudy...has anyone seen the previews for the movie Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs? Loved the book...looking forward to the movie! Anywho...back to our program...I AM BURNT. Not just lightly toasted...no, no...I am so burnt my burns have burns. Miss Fabulous and John are burnt too but somehow not nearly as burnt as I. They were also both covered in a thick layer of dirt so that may be the secret. So YAY for John's team that they won the championship! BOO that they couldn't have won a few games before that so I could have been prepared for the long day. I have to have someone/something to blame for my problems, right?

Life's a lot easier if you can blame everything on someone else. ;) Sorry you're burnt! Hope it turns into a nice tan for you.

Now you must remember to ALWAYS go everywhere with a good layer of dirt on you, for protection!

Sorry you are in horrible pain.
I hope you feel better quickly and don't peel too badly.

The List

This is an incomplete list of the things I'm trying to do before December 15. I know I'm missing a few things but you get the idea. I wish I had more time, but at the same time, I know I would just waste it and end up doing everything at the last minute anyway. So here's at least a partial list of things I need to do or make: 1. matching pajama pants for my girls and their cousins. 2. 4 more bags and 2 more purses. 3. smallish blankets and pillows for my girls' baby dolls and/or stuffed animals. 4. turn 2 sweaters into Christmas dresses for my girls 5. Christmas shop for John 6. gifts/goodies for neighbors and friends 7. decorate for Christmas 8. 2 tutus 9. Christmas cards? or wait until after the baby is born and send an update with an announcement? 10. finish getting the girls' room in order and looking cute 11. organize the basement and purge the STUFF #10 doesn't necessarily have to be done before the 15 th but I'd like to just get it DONE already. ...

I've been told I need to update the blog so here are several pictures of little Star. She is now just over 11 lbs. and just shy of 23" long. She is just a bit big. Miss Fabulous was nearly 4 months old before she got as big as our Star! She is fun and really cuddly. She really loves to eat (thus the big size!) and sleep but seems to be wanting to be on the move. John has dubbed her "Scooter" because she is never where we put her. She rolled over from her back to her tummy the other day! Still not great at night...sometime she just wants to be awake, but last night she slept 7 hours straight and I'm hoping its the beginning of a trend! Miss Fabulous just LOVES her little sister and is always trying to help. MF is doing a little better in school with a lot of help from her teacher and some from us at home. We are starting her in a program at school where they help children deal with transition, which seems to be the biggest part of her problem. The progr...

In case you're like my mom, who can "never see anything in these pictures", it is baby #2 due at the beginning of August. Hopefully we get to keep this one...all signs say yes. Please keep us in your prayers!
