Still Cooking.

If you would have asked me a month ago, I would have bet a lot of money that by today ... I'd be able to see my toes again. As it turns out, I had them painted yesterday. By a professional. Who told me it was boring not to put a flower on my newly glazed beauties. It's cool. I can handle being boring. It's not as though I can't see them anyways.

Speaking of professionals ... I am now waddling like one. I have it down to a complete science. It's a newly acquired skill that I am looking forward to parting with ... come THURSDAY!!!

We've been keeping busy around here ... not sure painting is the best choice for a nesting mother? I'm usually am pretty relaxed about the whole painting process but last week ... I had damp towels ready to go and made my E remove his shirt before getting armpit deep in the colorful goo.
He didn't seem to mind the lack of clothing ... he never really does! And those painting cups ... BEST INVENTION EVER! I am slight neurotic about mixing paint colors and since we have paintbrushes that match the cup color that match the paint color ... E has NO EXCUSE for playing paint chemist ... except on his paper!
Then our favorite Miss Robin dropped off some reading material for our upcoming arrival ... the perks of living next to a teacher :)
And our J. How ... started soccer lessons!
Want to know his strategy?
J: "First you dribble. Then you make a big kick and fake out the goalie."
Me: "Joshua. You are going to be a great soccer player."
J: "Mom. I'm already great. In four more lessons, I'm going to be awesome."
And there you have it!!
And finally ... I'm bored. And large. And in need of something to keep myself occupied ... so I made more dresses for the girl child. She better get here soon or her closet will be bursting at the seams!!!
