reading and silly faces

the things you say...

The other night at dinner Corey asked Drew, "Can you smile?"
Drew: "No, it's dangerous."
Corey: "It's dangerous to smile?"
Drew (smiling): "Yup!"

This morning, Ty turned off the Today show I had just turned on (for a brief moment while I changed Drew's diaper) and said, "This is not appropriate." (It was the cooking segment, by the way. I think only PBS Kids would have been "appropriate" this morning. He was excitedly waiting for "Super Why.")

water guns and the hose

It doesn't take much to make these two happy. Today it was water guns and the hose. They had a blast. (I wish I had captured Drew before this moment...he was smiling. I think he melted because the hose "wasn't working." Oh well, I couldn't resist getting a shot of that face!)

tucked away

Today marks the day that I have officially been pregnant the longest of all three of my kiddos. Ty was 9 days early, Drew was 3 weeks early, but this little one is 8 days away from his due date! He's content being tucked away--warm and cozy in there. I wonder if he's going to be a laid back baby...

38 weeks (+ 3 days)

I woke up this morning at 4:30 AM with contractions! This is the first time that has ever happened to me (unlike most normal pregnant mommies!) :) Usually, my water breaks and then nothing else happens...for a long, long time. So I got up, packed my hospital bag, paid some bills, and sent a few emails. (Why not, right?) Corey was sweet...he was right beside me counting the time between my contractions. After two hours, they subsided and we went back to sleep. I had a few more contractions this morning (around 10) but nothing since then. We'll see...this little one might want to be a September baby!

flexing in snow boots (in August)

My boys love to put on their snow boots and pretend to be construction workers. Drew's outfit today, in particular, made me laugh. Here he is showing off his muscles:

funny sayings

Ty and I were talking the other day about how he could be a construction worker when he grows up. I told him he could build tall buildings or houses, and he said, "I'll build a Qdoba!" (Now THAT is a boy after my own heart! I've craved Qdoba like a maniac during this pregnancy!) :)

Drew said to Ty about walking down the stairs in his slippers, "It fipprey...be careful." (It's slippery...be careful.)

Drew calls Lightning McQueen (from the "Cars" movie), "My Queen"

At one point, Ty asked me if the baby was going to "pop out," (which of course I said "yes" in order to not get into any details) and now Drew will randomly say, "Baby POP OUT?!?" (I think they think the baby is going to just appear one day...we'll leave it at that!) :)
