Boo at the Zoo

Today was Boo at the Zoo. We headed over right after preschool and to Jake's surprise he saw his teacher there. He was so excited!!

The boys did better than I expected this year, although Logan would keep his feet or his hat on, but at least the costume wasn't a big deal to him :)

Enjoy!

Pumpkin Patch fun!

We went to Trabbic Family Farm on Saturday for our annual pumpkin patch trip. We missed out last year because of Logan's nursing habits but the year before that it was pretty mild. We were all in sweatshirts, but this year was much different. It was freezing! We weren't there for long because poor little Logan was freezing his butt off! We rode the pumpkin train, visited the animals and then headed inside to pay for our pumpkins, cider and donuts.

Although it was cold, the boys had a blast and slept really good for nap time :) This week comes our ultrasound tomorrow morning, Boo at the Zoo, Mom's night out Halloween party and trick or treating Saturday night!! Fun Fun!

Jacob's first movie

Jacob and I went on our first little date on Saturday. We went to see Spookly the Square pumpkin. I didn't grab him one of the little boosters they had for the kids so he kept falling in the chair but he loved it! He kept grabbing my hand and saying "Mommy, I love movies" and when we were done he asked me if we go on another date again. These are the little moments that I love.

Fall 2009

Well fall 2009 has started off down right cold!! I can't believe my boys are wearing winter coats, hats and mittens already!!

We have an exciting next couple of weeks ahead of us. This week Jacob has a field trip to the pumpkin farm, then we are going to our favorite pumpkin farm on Saturday as a family. My brother comes home on Sunday and we couldn't be more excited about it! It has been 6 months!!

And then we find out what little squish is going to be on Tuesday!! I am beyond excited, no matter what this baby is! I just want to put a name to the little bumps and kicks I am receiving inside my belly!

October is one of my favorite months so look for lots and lots of pictures from all the activities will be participating in!!

More on preschool

Well since Jacob has been there for 2 weeks I figured I'd do a follow up on preschool. I drop him off every morning and Logan goes right for the fish tank. I usually help Jacob put his bag in his cubby and then sit him down at his desk for his morning activity. Then I have Logan say "bye bye" to the fish (which is the only way I can get him to leave) and he gives Jacob a hug and a kiss and we leave. Jacob never even looks back :) Once we get in the car, Logan pats on Jacob's seat and says "Jake" while being very confused as to why Jacob isn't with us. When we pick Jake up, Logan goes right to the fish tank again and I help Jacob gather up his papers and his bag. On Tuesday I asked the teacher how Jacob was doing and she said "He's doing great, but he gets a little distracted from time to time." I said to her "Uh, he's a boy and he's 3." Well then I saw their class photo on their website and this is what I saw:
Notice Jacob in the background in the green stripes...completely oblivious to what is going on :) Ok ok so maybe he does get a bit distracted :)

On Thursday I went to get him and his teacher told me that he had a little accident. He asked to go to the bathroom and the teacher waited outside. Well Jacob hasn't really mastered buttons yet, and mommy decided to put him in his cute little Gap Jeans without teaching him out to unbutton them himself. Poor guy came out with went pants because he couldn't do it. So I gave his teacher permission to help him until we learn. Bad bad mommy :)

He never tells us about his day until hours later, usually at the dinner table. He told us what kind of snack he had and then proceeded to tell us his teachers names! I was so proud of him for knowing them already!

Then I asked him what he learned and he told me that the letter M made the "mmmmm" sound and that he learned that Jesus made the peoples :)

So far so good in the land of preschool :)

First Day Of Preschool

Jacob had his first day of preschool on Tuesday. It was a smooth transition and he didn't even care that I was leaving. I was fine since I was still at the school since the parents had to attend a parents meeting. Thursday when I took him and dropped him off he just said "Bye mom, love you" and that was it. I was fine until I got in the car and Logan tapped on Jacob's car seat and said "Jake?" I cried like a little baby.

But then I picked him up 2.5 hours later and he was fine! He talks about how much fun he has and how he wishes he could go everyday. It seems like just yesterday he was a little baby and now he's such a big boy. There is this song that my mom and my aunt talk about the all the time and I swear it brings me to tears every time I hear it.

"Don't blink
Just like that you're six years old and you take a nap and you
Wake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife
Don't blink
You just might miss your babies growing like mine did
Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your "better half"
Of fifty years is there in bed
And you're praying God takes you instead
Trust me friend a hundred years goes faster than you think
So don't blink"

Here comes another one....

Well almost all of you know already but I thought I should record this in my blog. We are expecting our 3rd baby! We found out almost 2 weeks ago. I started feeling a little queasy and it had lasted almost 3 days so after working out with my aunt one night I went and got a pregnancy test. Ok I am a pee on a stick addict and I've seen so many negative tests that I almost didn't look. Before I was even done going I look down and there were to clear positive lines! I freaked! Brad freaked and told me to go get a digital just to be sure. So I ran out and took it and this is what we saw:

So there ya have it! We are thrilled! I am very very sick with this baby so I haven't got to excited yet, but I'm sure it will come. First step in this adventure is buying a van. We are going tomorrow night to look!

I had my first appointment yesterday and I have to say I love this new place. I am delivering with a midwife again. They got me on some medicine to hopefully help my sickness and then I had an ultrasound. Little Squish looks healthy and great! Heartbeat was 132.

So here goes our crazy life :)
