We went for an ultrasound today and found out we are having a boy! I was totally surprised. =) When we told Bekah it was a boy, she said "Oh! Can we name him Alyssa?" lol She LOVES the name Alyssa. =) She has been telling me how excited she is to have a little brother, and of course how cute he is. =P Oh, during the ultrasound, Bekah stopped looking at the screen for a while and was just playing in her chair. When she looked up again she said "Is that a snake?!" LOL She is so funny.
The other day Bekah wanted to snack on a mini bell pepper (my kids LOVE bell peppers and especially the mini ones because they are cute and I'm much more likely to say yes because I don't have to go cut anything). I told her she needed to wash it first. So the next thing I see she is coming around the corner rubbing a mini bell pepper and I KNOW she hasn't been to the sink. Turns out she "washed" it with hand sanitizer. LOL! Good thing I caught it before she took a bite. That would have been one nasty surprise. =) And Bekah calls hand sanitizer "hannitizer." Too cute. =)
The girls and I already did a Christmas craft. lol =) We bought a wreath made just out of sticks and a bunch of bright jingle bells and we stuck them all over the wreath with some wire. It is really cute. It just needs a big bow. =) I got ribbon for it, but I haven't googled how to make a really good bow yet. =)
We have the craft room pretty much in order, except two boxes of Harper's stuff. I think it can just chill there for a while. =P The rest of the house is good except the main room in the basement, and I am building a bookshelf right now to help with that. I was almost done with it and then ended up having to re-putty a knot. So now I'm waiting for that to dry. It is mostly painted, and the paint dries quickly, so I MIGHT get it done and down here tonight, but definitely tomorrow... And I will be so glad when this basement looks good. I need to make a little entertainment center for the receiver and stuff too but that stuff is on a broken school desk right now so it's at least not all over the floor. Oh and the Glidden paint they have at Walmart now is amazingly good paint. I am loving it. I painted our bathroom with it and now the bookshelves... I can't wait to paint Lainey and Bekah's room but I don't know when I will really be able to.

Cute, Scravy Things, Biscuits
If I have never blogged this, it most definitely needs to be blogged. Bekah calls everyone cute. She tells random people at Walmart (usually elderly people) "you are SO CUTE!!" lol She also tells Keller (Tatum's boy) that he is cute and he turns red and has no idea what to say to her. lol It's a good thing that he doesn't enjoy it. =P She draws him pictures all the time and just thinks he is great, so it's a little extra awkward. =P lol Yesterday I put a shirt on her and she wasn't sure it went with her skirt. I told her it did and that the fabric on the sleeves was the same fabric as in the skirt, and I told her to go look in the mirror when I got it on. So she went over the the mirror and said "You're CUTE, Bekah!!! You're CUTE, mirror!!" lol
Bekah says such sweet things to me. =P Especially when we snuggle in the morning or if we have a nap together in the afternoon. She will say "I love you, Momma, Momma biscuit!" with any number of Mommas and any number of biscuits. =P lol She also says "I am so so glad to be your Bek!!" and "I am so so glad that you're my momma!" She is precious. Oh and she calls me precious, too. lol She is too cute! Just now we put her to bed and she said "I love you, Momma, Momma, Momma, biscuit, biscuit, biscuit, girl, girl, girl, cute, cute, girlie, girl." lol =)
We went to Kenna's birthday party today and when we got home, Bekah was telling Harper about how the Blanchettes have "a pretend scravy thing." LOL She was talking about their toy razor that they have in the bathtub.
A couple of days ago Bekah and I were making a cake for a neighbor's birthday and Bekah accidentally whapped my belly with a frosting-covered spatula. She said "Oh! I'm so sorry I got frosting on your baby!" lol
Oh and on Friday we went to an alpaca farm on a field trip. Learned all sorts of interesting things about alpacas. =P But after about 45 minutes, I was sneezing. I told Bekah "I think these alpacas make me want to sneeze!" She said "These alpacas make me want to smile! They make me want to KISS!" I asked her if they made her want to kiss ME. She said "No, they make me want to kiss the alpacas!" =)
School has been great. Lainey is reading her little books and having fun coloring them. We are having tons of fun in Science and History. This week we made a little Stonehenge out of cheese and wrapped Bekah up like a mummy. =P We made maps of Crete and Greece when we learned about the Minoans and Thira. We crumpled them up and tea stained them and then burned the edges. Emily was amused when I accidentally burned Turkey off her map. lol It wasn't important to the project, so that's okay. It just happened to be there. =) We looked at lots of Aunt Laurin's pictures from when she lived on Santorini. The girls really loved seeing pictures taken by someone they know! =) And Aunt Laurin was in some of them, too. =)
We were going to go to Colorado but since our friends that were going with us can't go, we decided not to. It was supposed to be a vacation/hiking trip. But we don't feel like going to hike alone and we don't really feel like a visiting trip that is only 2 days of visiting and 2 days of driving. And Harper was also sick for a week and missed three days of work, so he doesn't want to take vacation time anyway now. =) So anyway we scheduled an ultrasound for Wednesday to find out if we're having a girl or a boy. I am not excited about paying $75 just to know and have 2D pics. Oh well. =P I will be glad to know. Harper has felt kicks more, but the girls aren't patient enough and haven't stuck around to feel the baby kick.
Last night I went to CK's 18th birthday party. It was a campout and a ton of fun. I can't stay up that late when I'm pregnant, but I stayed up until midnight. I was sorta bummed to miss watching movies outside (we took our projector and set up a little campout theatre) but I knew I couldn't make it even though the first one. Now I sorta want to watch That Thing You Do and Sahara. =P lol Goin' up to watch Monk with Harper. Later!
