Bubbles Bubbles Everywhere

Nothing too eventful today and it was wonderful :) Noah didn't take a nap, but never got really obnoxious. It's only 6 now, but that means after this post all that's left is dinner, dishes, bath, and bed. I think we're pretty much home free. I went out to Target to beg for boxes, but they didn't have any. They suggested I call at night and ask them to hold onto some for me, which is easily done. I can't believe we're actually going to move. I can't believe we're moving TOGETHER. Honestly, I can't. Josh doesn't have orders in hand yet so until that happens I will calmly clean and organize to move, but not really believe it's happening.

Anyway... while I was at Target I spent my birthday gift card from Josh's Dad and his wife, Kim. Thanks so much, guys!! I bought 4 more maternity shirts and a pair of shorts :D I tried to get more colors and styles. Not a single blue-green shirt this time. We also hit up the one spot as always and found a bubble blower. Jimminey Cricket, Noah thought it was the best thing ever. He played with bubbles from around 1:30 until... well, until maybe 10 minutes ago.

After filling the tiny container it came with a good 10 times I brilliantly concocted a bubble solution in Noah's baby pool. No more filling required :) He had me blowing bubbles for a long time too so he could chase them around the yard. He kept pointing out how big they were. He was right they were those great clumpy monstrous conjoined bubbles. I got a lot of bubble solution on my camera lens, but it was easy enough to smear back off. I need to get an actual lens cleaner one of these days.

We also took some time today to relax since we didn't take naps. Today's movie was "Shrek" (thank God). I love "Shrek", it's one of the more entertaining ones for adults to sit through. Noah calls it "donkies". In the pic I'm wearing one of my new shirts. Proud of me? It's PINK! This one's my favorite of the 4 I bought today. Now, although I do love "Shrek" I was still falling asleep so I got up to have another cup of coffee and escaped for a bit to do my puzzle. Definition of "a bit" is about 7 minutes. Any puzzle time is fine with me. I love me some puzzles! I am in another photo group for Mom's and every Tuesday we're supposed to submit a photo of us taking time out of the day to do something for ourselves.


Noah's pulling my arm to "play bubbles" again. I need to make dinner. Just think, self... soon you'll be cooking for 2!!! :D I can't believe it. I just can't believe it. I need to get this house ready to sell! Thanks so much to everyone for all your prayers and support throughout the past weeks, months, even years. I'll keep you all updated as soon as we KNOW what's going on.

haha thanks, Brit! Yeah I was all cute with Noah until around the same time and them suddenly my hips and butt got HUGE! I'm hoping I'll stay nice and cute. I'm getting into the danger zone now as I get closer to the last trimester. Dang... I can't believe it's all going so quickly!

You are very cute. I am jealous! I tried hard working out when i first found out, but that didn't last long! And about eating healthy during pregnancy, I would if water melon and peaches grew in spring time! And I'm going to have to make a trip to your target b/c i defiantly don't have that shirt at our target. I'm at that stage where nothing covers my huge gut. So the lovely hernia i have below my belly hangs out like homer Simpson! Yeah i'm real pretty! Love the pictures of the bubbles, I want to pop them.

You are a cutie! I love the bubble blowers... I got the battery powered one a while ago for the dog, now I keep both the dog and Matthew very entertained while I relax a little... Also, I know how you feel about wallymart, but they sell like a gallon of bubbles for 2.50. I bought 3 of them. This is what we do for the dog when i don't have time to walk her. :)

WHOA! So you actually get to move somewhere with your husband? That's terrific. Love the bubble pics, by the way.

V- The Army would move us if Josh was authorized to bring us, but he's not. This means we have to move ourselves and cannot get military housing. He'll be there about 7 months and it's a 13 hour move. After that we'll move "on the Army". We decided it was worth it so he could watch the baby be born and I could do a much smaller, less expensive move... and, of course, finally be together!

Still Happy!! HOORAY!!

We're still going strong with our happiness levels out here. Yesterday was a little bit rough because Tristan was especially whiney, but today was amazing :) We got our grocery shopping done and even managed to have fun doing that! Noah and I were singing Christmas songs already while Tris and Bren laughed at us. Tristan sometimes piped in with a "all the way" when we were singing Jingle Bells. Noah was cracking up when I sang him the Batman version :D After all that excitement the 2 wee ones went down for their naps and Noah and I gave Bosley a bath with his new tea extract shampoo. He looks and smells so wonderful now :) He was in such a good mood after that too! Noah made a concoction of plum leaves, olives, dirt, and paper which he called "olive a cado". While he was doing his own grocery shopping I was taking some macro shots with my new focus point knowledge. I'm very happy. I thought I loved my camera before! Anyway... We also built a littl...

Almost Doesn't Count

We almost ended up with a puppy today. An adorable baby Jack Russell Terrier mix wandered into our yard. He was very sweet, laid back, flea-ridden, dirty, cute, a little broken, good temperament, un-fixed, and very very good with Noah and Emma. I asked the neighbors about him and they showed me where the owner lived. She took him inside and told me how he's driving her crazy because he chews through collars and gets out of the yard (which is because he's a puppy and not an outside breed). She mentioned possibly getting rid of him. Lo and behold he wandered back into our yard not too long after that... interesting. I wanted to adopt him because he was unwanted, but shouldn't have been. He was a very sweet dog. I would have called him Jackie I think :) This brings me to a rant. I know I've posted about the way people around here treat their pets. This is a perfect example. This lady didn't want the puppy anymore so she simply let it go. No collar, no tags...

Project 365: Jan 16 - 20

Tuesday, January 16th - more snow and a cotton candy sunset. It wasn't much, but the ice beneath and timing of the snow itself  meant a snow day for the kids! Now that they're teenagers, that precious time is spent catching up on sleep, which makes working from home pretty easy for me. Wednesday, January 17th - the morning light changes throughout the year as the earth moves around the sun. In winter, it peeks in through my living room window and spotlights the entertainment center in warm light.  Thursday, January 18th - Braved the inch of ice on the ground to attend a legislative reception in Annapolis with my coworkers/friends. We spent the day networking, laughing, and planning to save our little section of the Chesapeake Bay watershed here in Southern Maryland. Friday, January 19th - Jug Bay snow day!!! The weather report called for snow to begin falling as school was supposed to just be getting started, so they announced cl...
