Just Like Grandma!

So grandma has a fourwheeler that she rides all around town, and the kids think it is too cool! So when a friend offered this little powerwheels fourwheeler, Fern was so excited! So now she is just like grandma!
Here is the action!
WATCH OUT FERN!

Muy Bueno!

7 1/2 months of pregnancy is a long time to go without some really good Mexican food. Believe me I KNOW!!! :) Well today Dan splurged on me and went into a Mexican grocery he recently stumbled upon and bought me some juice (after I almost hijacked the Goya juice truck), and some tamarind candy. This is not my favorite tamarind, I prefer the hand made variety you can buy at a good dulceria or Olvera Street, but in times of extreme desperation the fake stuff tastes very good indeed! And the kids won't touch it after I tell them it has chili peppers in it. :) MMMMMM!

So there is your random pregnant food information for today! Oh and don't even think about trying to get Las Palmas Verde Enchilada sauce here, it does not exist!


UPDATE:

Look what Marisa brought me on Sunday! Her mom brings it to her from Mexico (because it is her favorite too) and she generously chose to share with this crazy pregnant lady!!

And check out THIS cool site, I just wish shipping was not quite so much!

Adios!

Fun Friends, Flowers, & Fern!

Do you know what is better than getting a birthday gift from a thoughtful friend?
Getting and UN-BIRTHDAY gift from a thoughtful friend! And on a day when you had not managed to get out of your jammies and she does not even seem to notice! :)
My good friend Lisa (who also saw AND CLEANED my unsightly kitchen when I sprained my wrist a few weeks ago) brought me this little "mommy pot"! The little card attached said for the short stemmed flowers the children bring home! How cute is that!! And now that there is finally a few blossoms around Riley was quick to fill my pot! We are missing the sun today it is 50 and rainy, this last Saturday it was 82!!!
Fern was just too cute not to snap too! She is such a girly girl!

Tax Day Tea Party in Hartford!

Well we decided that today was a good enough day as any to teach our children about letting our voice be heard! So we took them to a protest/rally! :)We headed up to our state capital, we had a beautiful day to enjoy!
When we first started explaining to the kids what we where going to do, they were afraid we were not going to drink tea anymore! :) We have been studding the American Revolution and the original Boston Tea Party! :)
Here is Riley with his sign! :) It has been a while since I made protest signs but we had fun doing it together! :)

Fern, well she survived because we took the stroller and pretzels to munch on! :)


There were plenty of great signs to look at and tons of flags!!

Riley enjoyed waving his sign and clapping along with us!
We got to listen to a little music, Chris Cassone singing "Take Our Country Back".

All 5.5 of us! :)

I thought this lady's hat was great! :)

Jake got into the spirit when Dad let him climb up on his shoulders! :)

The capitol building is really beautiful, I hope we annoyed or educated someone inside today! :)

30 Weeks Down...

...we'll see how many more to go! I am guessing somewhere around 9 weeks to go, which just sounds crazy! Especially since I do not have things ready! :) So here is the belly today, and thankfully some sun too! :)
The side view always ginormous!

And a sweet little hand, there are often little hands on my belly these days, also lots of kisses for this babe! And promises to hold, take care of, and even change diapers from my three super kids! I am glad they are so excited, I am too!
~
So Dan and I were thinking of holding a little contest! So if you would like to guess when this babe will make the grand entrance, guess away! And who ever gets the closest will receive a prize in the mail, a VERY yummy prize! :) If anyone decides to join in on the fun I will make a little list on the side of every one's guesses, don't forget to leave a name if you sign in as anon.!! :)
Happy guessing!
