Fat Tuesday

In honor of "Fat Tuesday" (and because my little sister asked for one), here's the only belly shot I have of my 3rd pregnancy (at 28 weeks)...

 

I know the stripes are not helping me any, but it was pretty much now or never since I was dressed decently, my hair and make-up was done, and both boys were still napping... what are the chances of that! Oh, and don't mind that the top of my head is cut off... a happy coincidence, really.   It's better that no one has to see the 4 inches of dark roots that have been growing out since becoming pregnant!

I'm feeling a little large, but not too uncomfortable yet. It's  getting harder to sleep, but I really can't complain of anything horrible at this point.  It's all downhill from here though... hope this last trimester goes by quickly!

Snow Day!

I obviously hadn't been keeping up with the news since I thought yesterday's winter storm was just going to be the typical Texas snow and disappear in a few hours. I still can't believe that it snowed ALL day and night and we woke up to the most snow I've ever seen (in Texas anyway)! I dug out our pitiful supply of snow clothes and let the boys have at it...

Everything's more fun with Granny and Pops, so we headed over to their house to play...

We even found an awesome hill for the boys to sled down...on a plastic pool floatie of all things - only in Texas! It worked really well though, probably better than any sled out there. I'm so glad Granny and Pops were there to help because the big fat pregnant lady is not of much use these days...

We were soaked by the time we had to drag them home, but I think they would have stayed out there all day... must be that little bit of Utah blood they have in them!

Clean-Up Crew

My boys LOVE to make messes.  Cleaning up, on the other hand... not so much.  Needless to say, I was a little surprised when I heard them talking excitedly about cleaning up their toys this morning.  With all this talk, I was hoping to see a spotless living room when I walked out, but instead I saw this...

They had dumped out EVERY toy basket and were trying to pick up each little piece with the "grabbers" they got from Santa.  I guess you have to make a real good mess before you can get excited to clean it up!

It might take them all day, but at least they're cleaning up!

Cute Church Boys

I thought the boys were looking especially cute for church yesterday, and since we don't start until 1pm now (ugh!), there was plenty of time to snap a few pictures...

They just couldn't put down their latest favorite toys though - Mo's whoopie cushion (aka his "burp") and Ben's sword-fighters... 

They might be wild and crazy, but at least they're cute!

 

Another New 'Do

Apparently, Ben has not only taken interest in styling his little brother's hair these days.  The other morning I woke to find him in the bathroom looking like this...

A little "There's Something About Mary"-esque.  I think he used about half the bottle of hair gel and it was already starting to crust over...

I hope this early morning (before mommy wakes up) hairstyling thing (especially if scissors are involved) is a very short-lived phase!  At least this time it was a simple fix... a quick bath and we were ready to go.
