My little Klepto

My OB is on call this weekend... so obviously I'm doing everything I know of to help things along. And of course I'm still here at home with little guy chilling out. Of course it was a ground blizzard after work last night so we decided to do a little walking around in the mall.

And what else could be looking for but beautiful (white) Easter Dresses. Or so Abby thought. Prying the white, silky Easter dress from her fingers was like ripping away her most prized possession. She found one in Children's Place that was 'destined' to be hers. No amount of bribing, explaining or discussion could convince her that we weren't going home with that dress tonight. So she decided the next best thing would be to sneak out amongst the crowds of people and clothes with it. Yep... my little Klepto.

First I had to chase her down before she got out of the store, then came the conversation about how when we take things that don't belong to us it is stealing. And how stealing makes others feel bad... etc etc. She cried most of the way through the mall after that.

I'm not as excited to go Easter Dress shopping with her again.... at least she likes them I guess.


This afternoon we went with my sister and my brother's fiancee to have pedicures done. Abby was a little in shock and wasn't interested in doing anything even after the kind lady offered to paint flowers on her fingernails for free. So Abby watched while I had a pedicure done. It was fun to have a little time to relax even though it was hard for me to justify spending the money. But I guess it is good to get a little pampered once in awhile too. It was a fun girls afternoon.


I picked up a few more cloth diapers (I'm excited to try them) at a local place and we had a little lunch before we came home. Now Abby is crashed out on the chair after she threw up a little in the bathroom. I knew she wasn't feeling good so I rocked her to sleep while watching Curious George. She had been telling me her tummy hurt. I suppose she has whatever bug Kara had. At least it seems to be short lived. If you know Abby... she doesn't cuddle long so she must not have been feeling very good to rock to sleep with me.

Waiting Game...

No baby yet.... I'm pretty sure he's never going to come out. (ok, perhaps never... but it feels like forever) Perhaps he wants to wait until after his little cousin has turned one (Happy Birthday sweetheart!). We have our appointment on Friday and I'm anxious to see where things are at and also hoping we don't make it to that point. So far I don't have a lot of faith in his impatience to get here...

And there are good reasons to hold off... for me personally though I'm ready to be done dealing with the extra fluid weight. I'm excited to actually wear my wedding ring and fit in half normal clothes again. Just a little longer I guess!

(The girls on V-day with their little M&M fans from Tom and I)

The girls and I went out for a walk yesterday, I'm trying to get one in most nights now and the weather was very nice. (40 for February!) We walked and Abby talked and talked most of the way. She was a princess and was very excited about this. She didn't nap yesterday and had preschool so I think she was just beyond tired out. Towards the end of the day she was completely wiped (aka hyper and pushing her sisters down) Tom worked last night and does again tonight. It is good to have the extra money but I do miss him on those nights where it is all me.

Kiley and Kara have been super walkers lately and sit so nice in the yellow stroller. A massive change from what they used to do in the stroller! They did have a small fight over a 'ni night' that was in the stroller to keep them warm but resolved it for the most part on their own lol.

Well I should grab a cup of coffee and wake up so I can get to work on time ;) One more day down, one day at a time...

Sailor Girls

Home with the girls tonight. Tom is off to work again tonight. We had planned on going down to visit grandma but that didn't work out. My poor mom is sick with a stomach bug... and we don't want to be anywhere NEAR that! I can only imagine being in labor while throwing up and being sick... noooo thanks.

It's been a pretty nice day. We've gotten a few more projects done around the house. I finally finished the nursery mobile that I've been dying to make.

I think it turned out fantastic. Hopefully he will like it too. I can drop it down closer or move it up depending on what height I need it to be. It was a lot of work but fun too. Abby wanted to help but it wasn't really a project that was good for her to help with. She punched a lot of holes and cut up paper for me though. My living room was covered in it...

The girls wore the cutest dresses to church today. They were quite the spectacle... and a lot of people had something to say about them. The best part was they actually kept the hats on!

I really want to find Easter dresses with hats now... the tricky part is finding them. Bows and flowers are much more in at the moment it seems. Still super cute. On a similar note I've decided I'm going to make my own church bags. I think I will pick up some canvas 'grocery' bags (they make some cute ones if you find the right places) and some clip boards. crayons, small toys that I can just leave in and take with us to church. Then I won't have to worry about whether we get there soon enough to get a bag, or two... or three.
(Kara... ignore the nasty booger, we have the crud here too, and Kiley too lol)

Quotes

"My three little wild children were running around the house, I asked Abby why they all had their clothes off... she looked at me very seriously and said "We're scavengers!" Would love to know where she got that..." (February 2012)

Overheard Abby playing with her Barbies during bedtime: "Fairytopia is dead. Guys don't planick."... a little while later... "Ariel is dead! Planick?... Planick planick!!!!" (March 2012)

Abby was running around in church. I swiftly stopped her and very seriously said "We aren't supposed to run in Jesus's house." Very seriously she replied "Jesus lives in my heart mommy." Point Abby- (May 2012)
