Peace out dude!

Today is "Blast from the Past" dress-up day at Little Miss Mae's school.  She definitely knows what she wants and doesn't want.  Even though we had a poodle skirt on hand, she was not going to wear that!  So, we looked at several pics on the internet of various 60's, 70's, & 80's costumes.  She picked out a hippie looking costume, and we came as close as we could to it with goodwill browsing.  She also wanted to be able to do the "peace" sign, but just couldn't quite get her fingers to cooperate, so she was very happy with the modification!

All smiles......

And off she goes!!! 

As for the rest of us....

RyD is just trying to keep his head above water with 4 preps this teaching semester, and graciously picking up extra chores around the house that don't seem to be getting done on my part...and I haven't managed to catch him on camera lately!

A couple of days ago, my awesome friend invited K-Rae over to build a snowman with the small skiff of snow we got.....As you can see, K-Rae and her friend thoroughly enjoyed themselves, and they used up all the snow on their snow mama and snow baby! And I was so thankful to not have to be the one attempting to bend over and roll snowballs! I pretty much feel like I'm carrying around a huge snowball in my belly!

33 weeks and all is well with baby.  Mama, on the other hand, is pretty tired and getting around fairly slowly lately, and wouldn't mind if this baby makes an appearance a couple of weeks early!!! Any guesses as to if it's a boy or girl?  You can put your guesses as a comment on the blog if you want.  RyD and K-Rae are sure it's a boy; Little Miss Mae is hoping for a another sister.  I'm voting with Little Miss Mae, so we're evenly split!  Someone will be right!!! The due date is March 13th.  I'm hoping for closer to March 1st! We're registered at http://www.amazon.com/registry/baby if you're interested in browsing our list.  We're mostly needing things for diapering and feeding.  Our friends here are keeping us pretty well supplied with the bigger equipment items and have assured us they will be passing down lots of baby clothes as soon as they know the gender!
