It's a Girl!

That's right. Baby #3 is a little girl. I have felt so different with this pregnancy and craved different foods that I was sure it was a boy. So I wanted to know so that I could plan. And lucky us--we get another girl. I was so surprised. She was so funny during the ultrasound. Moving and kicking. She kept her hands up by her head the whole time. When I saw her doing it, I pictured her saying, "What is going on out there? Can't you just let me sleep?" I just can't wait to see what this new little girl is like. With how different her two sisters are from each other, it will be fun to see how she fits in the mix. Oh baby we are so thrilled that you are coming and can't wait to shower you in pink!

Loads and Loads of Laundry

Today was laundry day. One of those tasks that seem never-ending. Today we washed sheets and blankets and towels and every piece of clothing the girls own except for what they were wearing. Normally it takes me all week to get the laundry folded after it is washed. Isn't it enough that it is all clean? But Daniel cleaned the kitchen tonight and let me sit and fold. So we got five of the six loads folded. Hopefully it won't take me until next Monday to get it folded.

Caught in the Act

Nap time is the only time I can get anything done at our house. So I usually try to squeeze as much into that two and a half hours as possible. Some times I hear Eliza stirring before I go and get her. Well today was a bad day to leave her in her room for a few extra minutes. When I finally went to get her I found her with and empty bottle of finger nail polish and she looked like this.

Story Time with Ms. Nancy

Today we had story time with our neighbor Ms. Nancy. She comes over two or three days a week to read a story to the girls. And the girls love it.
Generally Liesel wants a book all to herself.
And Eliza likes to look at the days 'new' book and at the old book that Ms. Nancy has left with us between visits.
Just before Nancy leaves they have to sing a song or play a game. Today they played "Ring Around the Rosy."
It is so fun to have such a great neighbor who loves the girls so much. We all look forward to story time.
