Phew!
We made it. We had a busy week here & with a big 9th month belly I was not sure we were going to make it. ( I am a major whimp this pregnancy. usually it does not slow me down...but man alive I am dragging this time around.) But we took it one step at a time & everyone took a turn reassuring mommy that its going to be okay.
1st came an ancient greece program for T & his 2d grade class (pictures to come.) then halloween night trick or treating & just tonight the elementary school's fall festival complete with rides & carnival like food. The kids had lots of late nights with sports & festivities. I know they will really enjoy waking up on their own tomorrow morning.
The man of the house has been working some wacky shifts in the ICU so he missed most of the week, but we sent lots of pictures via iPhone to help him be a part of halloween week. He works dang hard & I make it a point to talk to the boys about their dad & how he loves us so much that he has to sacrifice the fun nights so that we can have all our needs met. I want them to feel that same intense gratitude for him as I do.
Because Rod was working through trick or treating our neighbors chipped in and did S family head counts & even refused to let me pull my wagon of kids. & again tonight we had lots of loving friends helping with the 4 as they ran from ride to bouncy house to game. We even had dinner dropped off to us tonight with fresh bread.
I feel very loved! This weekend marks a more leisurely one with a few sports games & cold/sore throat recovery for us girls.

I know Presley looks content chowing down at the festival...but I will tell ya. The poor girlie was in need of some serious snuggles from me & anyone else who would lend a hug & an ear as she fussed away. I attribute it to the heat & the noise. It was just too much. The boys on the other hand were devastated when I said it was time to go. I am glad they had such a fun night.

That's a busy week for any mom, let alone a 9 months pregnant one! Hope you get to put your feet up and take naps this weekend.
Oh Jenni! You put me to shame! I can't get myself to have the gratitude attitude at all about Ethan's work! I'm going to work (with the very VERY little energy I have left) to follow your example. You are awesome. Good luck these last few weeks! Can you believe our babies are coming so soon?!?!! I can't!
very cute pictures! I can't believe you r having snow cones in October! Dont worry the pregnancy is almost over.
