ramblings

So I was mistaken and my official due date is 10/11/12 - I think that's a pretty cool due date if you ask me. But this girl isn't hoping to be pregnant that long by any means! :) Heartbeat was 155 again on Friday. Our ultrasound is scheduled for May 18th. I cannot wait to make sure this baby is healthy and to find out whether we get to buy blue or pink. I am voting for blue right now.
Kendall and Brenym have been at each other's throats lately, BIG TIME. They were fighting over toys in the bathtub the other day and when Brenym finally gave them to Kendall she PUT THEM BEHIND HER AND DIDN'T PLAY WITH THEM. I grabbed them up like a crazed loon normal mother would and threw them in the trash. Kendall looked at me like, do I dare ask if they have to stay in the trash? And I said in a nice motherly tone, "no those won't be coming out of the trash, you cried for them for 5 minutes and then he gives them to you and you don't even use them? RIDICULOUS!" What else, oh yeah she doesn't want him in her room. He is obsessed with a cat toy and if she so much as looks at it he flips his lid. Whenever they are arguing whether something is "mine" or not - I pipe up in oh so chipper tone that I BOUGHT IT SO TECHNICALLY it's all mine!!! MINE MINE MINE! Geez, pregnancy hormones much?
Kendall has her first t-ball game this Saturday. I'm so excited to see how "put together" they are at an actual game because at practice it just looks like one kid is chasing butterflies, one kid is kicking dirt and Kendall is in her own little world.

Just Kendall

I had such a fun day with Kendall on Sunday. Rob was at a bowling tournament so it was me and the kids. While Brenym napped we had some alone time. First, we did her homework which just amazes me. There are words she struggles with but she can sound out most words. Aaaaaaamazing to have her read to me. After that I thought we'd do a craft I bought. But Kendall made me realize that all kids want is your attention. Her request was "sit and color with me
Mom." Best afternoon in a long time. We colored on blank paper and she made up stories with her pictures. The laundry needed folding and the sheets needed changing, but laughing and coloring with her was wayyyy more fun. Kids don't need constant go go go
and entertainment, just some time and attention.
