35 weeks

At my appointment this week I found out our little girl is breech. My doctor doesn't seem to be worried. She still has a few more weeks to flip. I am praying she does a little somersault no matter how uncomfortable it may be.

Painting Our Pumpkins

Jonathan would rather paint his hand.

Stephen chose to paint 4 large circles on his pumpkin using different colors.

This kid loves to paint.

Jonathan's Bus Ride

This week Jonathan's "Mother's Day Out" class rode the church bus through the parking lot this. They did their unit on the "Wheels on The Bus." I love this adorable photo of my little boy in the middle of all the little girls.

Jonathan is in the middle, wearing the gray pants and navy blue and red striped shirt.

Dentist Appointments

The boys both had their first teeth cleaning today. It went suprisingly well. I was a little nervous about Jonathan since he is only 2. I tried to get Stephen a teeth cleaning at 2 1/2 and he wouldn't let them touch his mouth. Jonathan, totally different kid, did great in the chair. He eventually closed his eyes while listening to Dora the Explorer on his ear phones. The ceiling had a TV so he could watch Dora the Explorer.I think it helped our appointment was at 8am. The dentist office was empty.

It feels great to get this checked off my list of "To Do Before Delivery."
Originally, when I called to get an appointment in August the first available was December 5th. I kept the appointment in hopes to get another appointment sooner. I tried on Monday and suprisingly they had an opening today.

Come and Take It

My hometown had it's annual Come and Take It Festival this weekend. We drove to Gonzales on Thursday evening and stayed until Sunday afternoon. It was a fun weekend for everyone. The wives and kids went to the parade and enjoyed some yummy food at the food booths. The husbands went hog and dove hunting. We did not make it to the carnival to ride the rides. It just didn't work out with our nap schedule.
