Lots Of Cooking


Dearest Angels~

Brrrr .... today was a cold and wet day.  We actually had to put the heat on!  We all snuggled up in pants and long sleeve shirts.  And, since we had no appointments today (Kim is out of town), it was perfect weather to do things around the house.  

This morning, as you two played, I did 45 minutes on the exercise bike.  Then, we went downstairs for some snacks. Joshua, you had your 3/4 cup of applesauce and then 1.5 cheese sticks.  Grace, you ate 2.5 cheese sticks.  :-)  We ended up playing downstairs afterward and completed some puzzles.

Then, we came back upstairs for some art time.  I drew 'Happy Halloween' pictures with pumpkins on them.  Daddy is a better artist, but I did my best.  You two colored them!  ;-)  Grace, you're getting better at saying 'blue' and 'purple.'  As you two colored, I can some laundry.

So, here's the update for you two.  The surgery nurses at the OB office called me today to schedule the C section for baby biscuit.  We could schedule as early as 12/5 at 39 weeks.  But, I couldn't resist going for the 12/12/12 date at 40 weeks.  ;-)  So, as it stands now, we're scheduled for a C section on 12/12/12 at 10:30am (which was the same time as Grace's C section in 2011).  Dr. Harden will be on call that day unless something changes.  Since I had C sections with both of you two, I had no option but to have one with baby biscuit.  Obviously there are some risks to pushing it to the full 40 weeks .... if we go into labor prior it will end up being more of an emergency C section .... so keep us in your prayers.  :-)

We all had a good lunch.  Then, we watched a Dora episode before naptime.  It rained during Dora.  You each picked out one book to read and where both napping by 1:20pm.  I took a quick shower and then read as you two napped.

Once awake, you two helped me in the kitchen.  We made and cooked a chicken pot pie.  As it was baking, we made more pumpkin bread too since we still had some pumpkin leftover from the weekend.  We all played until daddy got home and then decorated the kitchen island with our art project from earlier, two loaves of pumpkin bread, and our chicken pot pie!  The kitchen smelled good and daddy loved the artwork!


You two 'face timed' with Uncle James this evening.  You got to see his fish and new snail .... sadly, his other snail didn't make it so he now has a new, bigger one.  We'll have to go see it in person one of these days. 

This evening we all played upstairs.  You all had art time with daddy.  He drew and then you all colored.  He draws so much better than mommy!  I took some photos.  :-)

Sleep tight little ones!

I love you both so much!
