1. On Friday night at Heidi's birthday party the boys spent most of their time in this little room under the stairs playing with the toys. It had a cute little Mr. Ed door (not sure what those half doors are called), but the door knob was low enough, and the kind with the handle, not the knob, so Noah was able to open it himself. I had watched him do it a few times from a distance and thought that was pretty special for him and got all excited thinking about how he must feel with that kind of power :) But then he came over to me (this is way cute to me, so sorry if it sounds lame) and looks up and says, "Doh, Mom, Doh!" At first it took me a minute to figure out what he was saying, but I asked, "Door?" and he said, "Yeah." with this proud, proud look on his face. And it hit me! He was telling me the cool thing he just learned!! So he was pointing over there and I was getting all excited with him and I said, "Did you open the door all by yourself?!" And it was so fun to watch his face light up realizing that he had got his point across :) and he said, "Yeah!" SO HAPPY-LIKE!! I LOVED it!!!! Then he grabbed my hand, said "buh" (that's up), and we walked over there for him to show me how he does it. It was SO SPECIAL!! I don't know if it's just the hormones, if it is, I apologize, but I just love that I am able to communicate with Noah so well now! We can tell each other things and get our feelings across and it's just SO FUN for me! He's a sweetheart and I know he tries so hard to tell us things, so it's just fun to know what he's talking about now!!
2. Tuesday night Nate let me stay home while he took the kids to run a few errands. This probably makes me sound like a crappy wife just as much as it makes him sound like an amazing husband, but I think I'm willing to take that chance. It had been a rough day, my back and legs are just NOT working like they used to, so the whole day was just miserable, and being the loving person that Nate is, decided I needed to take a break. I had planned on just sleeping while he was gone, but that darn crafting bug in me just wouldn't rest and I ended up finishing some of my projects that I had been planning on for the baby. I will have to get pictures and post them, I'm pretty proud of myself. But anyway, the break was great, and it was nice to get these things done. I'm really just getting so anxious, so anything that lets me sit and think about my new little girl that is coming, is just therapeutic :) loved it all!! And Nate got all the errands run. Halloween costumes are finally set, and we are ready to go for the carnival Thursday. So fabulous!
3. Wednesday... I found my camera!!!! It was totally gone for a few days and I really almost cried a number of times (hormones again), but today I found it!! It was hiding in a bike helmet behind the pencil and paper drawer thing. Who woulda thought!! SO HAPPY!
4. Charity turned in her reflections story on Thursday. That was such an ordeal by the end of it. Started out just a silly little idea and then slowly because this full-blown project where Nate was running to the store in the middle of the night to get a dumb manilla file folder. Who woulda thought. But I am really proud of Charity. She really does have some pretty creative writings, and this one is no different. She should win. If she doesn't I'll have to call them and chew them out :) The theme was Beauty is.... which I think is totally generic and she wrote a story about a butterfly (well a few of them actually) that don't have nectar and have to go move a cloud to get it to rain..... I won't ruin the ending (because I plan to type it up and put it on the blog), but it was pretty cute. Charity's teacher has been really supportive of her creative writing and told her that "when she (Mrs. Owen) is old and in a wheel chair, she is going to buy one of Charity's books that she has written and read it." How cute is that!! What an awesome teacher! Now is probably a good time to point out how much I love Mrs. Owen for Charity. I think she was made for her. She has really helped Charity blossom a lot this year. I love it. So different from her teacher last year that threw a tizzy fit over Charity correcting her. (Charity is very good at noticing the teachers' mistakes, but Mrs. Owen has chosen to reward her with plusses on her plus chart when she helps her rather than making it a negative thing) I love it. Love her. She's fabulous!
5. The Snickers that Nate bought me and surprised me with Wednesday night was also just fabulous!
