Ice fishing...minus the ice.

Again, I'm posting pictures from March.  I still have more.  Fair warning.  Around the time I was supposed to be doing Spring Cleaning, I often did other things.  Like go fishing...
Star and Dash in their chairs all set to fish.
What is this fishing you speak of?
It was pretty chilly with the wind.  Miss Fabulous wore her rain boots so she could wade in the water.  Star refused to wear her rain boots but she too eventually went wading.
Star fishing.  hehehe
John getting Miss Fabulous set up.
It didn't take the kids long to cross over to my side.  You see, I had no intentions to actually fish.  John is the fish kisser. I'm the play in the sand (but don't get too sandy), look for shells, take a ton of pictures type.  The kids tried to fish, but the swings were right there and the wind still had a bite to it.  Miss Fabulous pushed Star for a little while...like a good big sister should.
All three of my swinging monkeys.  Star is still a little fearful of going very high, but the other two would be happy with underdogs all day.
The kids climbed up one of the lifeguard chairs.  Well...Dash was put up there and the other two climbed up after.  MF snuggled in with Dash and I snapped this picture just about the time that Star realized just how high she was and how little space she really had. 
Shortly after, Star decided to swim and we headed home for some hot chocolate and popcorn.

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. ...

Nearly 5 weeks...

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!
