Jealous?
Happy Birthday to my friend Danika. Happy Early Birthday to my friend Peter. Danika threw her own birthday party and baked her own birthday cake. This could be construed as somewhat sad, but no one is going to ever turn down a chance to eat her homemade cake and party fare.
Her magnificent cake:
This will be somewhat painful for those of you who attended Blake's baby shower before he was born. Danika made the cake for my party and people still rave about it to this day. Guess what? She made that same cake and it tasted equally as delicious. Sorry to make you all jealous.

Leprechauns
Better late than never. I was wiped out yesterday and realized we didn't do any leprechaun preparations. I told the boys today that leprechauns party on this day and we try to trap them in the evening after all of their pub crawls.
First we have to eat:
Traps were set right before bed:
Blake wrote, "Leprechaun, Pot of Gold" with an arrow going the wrong direction (got to love him):
The boys after setting up the leprechaun trap:
That naughty leprechaun replaced all the boys' coats with the dress up costumes and made a trail of their shoes from the front door to the leprechaun trap:
Not too big of a mess so I am okay with this leprechaun:
Now, to go make sure that darn leprechaun doesn't turn two sippies of milk green.

Fun
Fun Fridays are always better spent with friends. Blake got to meet up with his best friend Chase for a play date. We went to a place called The Jungle to stay out of the rain.
All the kids climbed into the photo booth for some snapshots. I love how the first picture doesn't have any kids because I told the kids to sit down on the bench and they weren't tall enough for the camera to capture them. You can see them standing up in the next few photos. We figured it out the second time around:
A cool roller coaster ride:
My plan was to hit up Target after the Jungle, but I was just too pooped. I ended up at Ellen and David's house with two, sleeping children. They napped and then baby #3 demanded an Indian food buffet dinner. So off we all went to enjoy some yummy food:
What a great Friday.

Sister Sourdough
This is my sister-in-law Sandy. She is Andrew's oldest sister and I knew I loved her personality the second I met her. Her teenage son loves to make videos and Sandy is a top-notch cook so the two collaborated to make her first cooking video on YouTube. Don't expect measurements of any kind (um, do you guys need a publicist?) or a finished project! Just sit back and enjoy the entertainment.

Thrifting
Some new baby girl things home from the thrift store. I got this nesting instinct to clean these clothes (I won't admit how many hot wash cycles I use) and arrange them in cute baskets for baby's arrival. They only last in the basket long enough for a photo since Reade or Blake usually dumps all the contents out so they can pretend they are in space jail. Fleeting moments of cute before real life sets in. Hm, that sounds a lot like parenting.
I am curious to see what outfits get worn and which ones stay on the hangers:
A mini pregnancy diary:
* I have been having some serious Braxton Hicks contractions to warm my body up for the big day. One was so big I had to breathe through it and grasp on to my Costco shopping cart.
* A scene I replay in my head 100 times a day: I take a crochet hook, size E or F, and dig deep into my rear end and pull my sciatic nerve out with my bare hands.
* I have entered into that phase where I lean up against a counter and accidentally knock things over with my belly.
* I have no motivation to take another picture of myself pregnant.

Lorax
Blake's grandma took him to the movie theaters for the first time for a grandma/grandson afternoon to see The Lorax. He loved the experience and had a blast:
3-D glasses and everything:
My doggy bag of popcorn traveling home with them:
Ellen took Blake back to her house and we met up with them once Reade woke up from his 3+ hour nap. Andrew made some delicious sourdough loaves to go with dinner:
Looking forward to another week of fun.
