Jen spent the night last night and is coming back again tonight just in case.  It’s nice to know that if I go into labor in the middle of the night we don’t have to wake the kids up.  I still think it will be tomorrow.  In fact, I so firmly believe that it will be, that I’m going to be REALLY disappointed if it doesn’t happen.

Our adventure for today was going to a birthday party!

Some newer friends of ours at church were celebrating their little girl’s 1st birthday.  It was so cute.  I forgot what a big deal first birthdays are.  They had a watermelon theme, which I thought was super fun.  Our kids had a blast playing in the kiddie pool and running around with the other kids.   It was a bit strange for us, though, since Chloe was the oldest kid there.  We’re not used to having the oldest child when we go to gatherings.

They even had favor jars to send home with each kid.  It’s hard to see the picture, but they are plastic “mason” jars with lids and straws, bubbles, watermelon gum and then watermelon suckers.  Too cute!

I wonder if I should plan an adventure for tomorrow….. ???  Hmmmmmmm………………….  😉

Here we go–it’s the countdown, er, wait… I mean count UP to the day I have this baby.  My prediction is still 40 weeks and 4 days since that’s what I was with both the other two.  So, that means I have 2 more full days to get everything in order!  Today we’re getting the house re-cleaned and we installed the baby carseat.  We also washed bedding.  Both Chloe and Josiah had fevers earlier this week–NOT what I wanted to be dealing with as I imagine bringing a newborn home.  Luckily whatever it was passed quickly and they’re both doing great now.

My friend at church who was due this past Sunday went into the hospital this morning.  That would be 40 weeks and 4 days for her.  Isn’t that amusing?  She’s having a girl too.  I’m excited for her.  Plus I’m relieved, since I REALLY wanted her to have her baby first, just to be fair since she was due before me.  🙂

Here are a few pictures from yesterday.  I haven’t fully decided what our adventure for today is going to be……. hmmmmmm….

Making chocolate chip cookies!

Yummmmmmmmmy

While we waited for the pans to cook in the oven, Chloe read Josiah a book. I LOVE that she can read to him now!

Let’s see, where did I leave off?

Oh yeah!  The Parks Adventure (that was our Friday event).

5.  Saturday:  We did a Video Game afternoon.  I made signs for them and hung balloons in the basement and then we sat on the couch and played video games on the Wii for a couple of hours as a family.  Chloe and Josiah thought it was a hoot!  Especially when Tim and I would play against each other.

6. Sunday:  Father’s Day!  We got to have lunch at Pizza Ranch with some friends who are just about to head oversees to be missionaries.  They were friends of our when we were going to church in St. Boni years ago.  It was wonderful to catch up them.  He’s actually just finished training to be a missionary bush pilot and they are heading to Africa.

7. Monday:  Went to the movie theater!  The movie theater is having a summer promotion where they do kids showings on certain days for a discounted price.  Today’s movie was Paddington.  They really enjoyed it.   (sorry the picture is not the best)

7.5:  Still Monday:  Yup, we did two things today.  We went to a friends house to see their rabbits!  The girls are actually our nannies and I teach them both piano, so we’ve become friends.  The kids loved seeing the rabbits and then the kids played with the girls for quite a while–they wore themselves out nicely.  🙂
