What's Updog and Late Father's Day


My extremely handsome husband in his new suit, with his extremely beautiful daughter on Father's Day

Watching TV in my bed while eating some breakfast. We've done a lot of this lately. I feel like a bad mom, but I'm so thankful to be able to sleep a little longer since I am not sleeping well.

Lance's dad joined us for brunch at "The Club" on Father's Day

Went to a Big sister class at our hospital. Kind of lame-o in my opinion. Not like what some others described at their hospitals. M did carry her baby back to the teacher by the ankles. Wish I would have had the camera ready for that.

Can you see how pink those cheeks are and how completely drenched the other two are?

completely over it!

Us fair haired/skinned people turn bright pink when overheated!

We went blueberry picking just south of town last Friday with friends. What a mistake (mostly due to the heat and my almost 8 month prego'ness). We arrived at 8:05am and made it to about 9:20am, though the kids were done in about 5 minutes. Sadly we only got about a gallon in that time. M and my buckets both turned over at some point too. It felt like an exercise in futility. It was still 90 degrees that early with the sun beating down. I must say, blueberries freshly picked are extremely delicious, but incredibly tedious to pick. Not like strawberries and far too late into a hot Bama summer to go outside and pick. I'll pay someone else to pick them for me from now on.

Oh the things kids say...
So I've mentioned that M is a bit sassy. She is extremely sweet and mostly compliant, but she will tell you her desires/thoughts freely. Examples of this are as follows:
The other day, I stopped to get M an Icee (a favorite treat of ours). The gas station showed the real sign for Icees but it turned out to be an off brand that had some gross flavors. I settled on what I thought was a cherry, but it tasted more like a watermelon jolly rancher. Very strong. When I gave it to M, her first reaction was "Wow, this tastes like a sucker I had." But by the second and third sips I hear her muttering to herself in the backseat (a direct quote), "Agh, this is disgusting. I can't believe you picked this."
Another funny quote from her was last week at nursery, a worker was reading her a book about a kid in a bubble bath. She asked Madeline if she took bubble baths, and M said, "Yeah, but not too many 'cause they hurt my 'gyna." If you have little girls you know that too many irritate their privates. This poor high school girl was like "what?" Thankfully another mom was in there and explained what she meant. We all had a good laugh at that one.
I'm sorry I have really stunk it up at blogging lately. I wish I could say with 5 weeks (hopefully less-M was a week early) that the nursery was ready, but alas, it is not. I think with a second of the same sex I've just had the attitude, well I'll pull "it" (insert whatever it is I find I need) out when I need it. The room is painted, the furniture is in, some clothes are out, washed and put away, the rest will fall into place I'm sure. Have I mentioned how hot it is here? I made it much longer this time without a lot of pain, but my sciatic has really been bothering me lately on one side while my heal/foot has been hurting on the other. Walking can be a little tricky. Im really done with pregnancy, so the month of July could not pass any sooner for me.

Another new post below.

Okay, the quote about the bubble bath is hilarious! And I am totally over the heat,too, and I'm not due until October!
