Too much fun...

So we finally finished our spiders, and I must say I think they turned out pretty cute. usually when I have an idea for a project, what ever I have pictured in my head doesn't really come out in my "creative abilities" but I think these are pretty cute.
I have decided that I am totally like Clark Grizwald. I get these huge ideas planned in my head and I think they'll turn out amazing. and then when it all comes together it looks like a lot of work for a white trash result. if I could afford it I would totally try and cover my house with 50,000 Christmas lights.
so these are a couple of pictures at the jump and bounce by our house, I love taking the kids there. I can totally sit and relax and they are totally entertained on their own. this is my favorite winter place to go and visit. and it gets a lot of their energy out, so I can keep up with them a little easier.
Today the kids had all sorts of fun, First off they got to go to a princess/super hero birthday party. (while I got to go out to lunch with all of the moms. ) it was a nice break for all of us. then, their school had a family fun night. so we got to go eat pizza, decorate cookies, paint pumpkins, jump in a bouncy castle, and win prizes.
I love their school, I can't say that enough, It is such a blessing for all of us. It's such a good break for me with Ryan gone so much. (not that I don't love to be with my kids, but a little break makes me love to be with them a little more.)

Bailee and her friend Madison

Ty trying to decorate a cookie with frosting, I think most of it is on his face

All in all I think we've had a pretty fun week. and I think it's safe to say we are ready for our baby brother to get here. I'll give him 2 weeks before I try anything drastic, maybe I'll go to the jump and Bounce and join in with the kids.
p.s. did you see my number on the count down, it's in the 30's.
Also, I tried to organize and dejunk the kid's rooms the other day and I think I about killed myself. it's so funny now how the slightest thing can totally wear me out. I think everyone around me is sick of the whining, so I guess if your not around me at this point be grateful. But that doesn't mean you can avoid my whiny phone calls!!!!

Katie! You are so funny! I love your analogy of Clark Grizwold! I think I do that alot too. I'm glad your in the 30's but lets be honest that means your in the 20's. Also I'm getting pretty anxious maybe I need to go the local Jump and Bounce! Or I heard mowing the lawn helps.... glad things are going well with crafts and the kids!

Cute spiders! Sounds like you guys did have a fun week.
I think people are sick of my "pregnancy complaining" too, but I think Tom gets REALLY tired of me constantly saying how fat I'm getting!

You are almost done! YAY for you! I SO know what you mean about how the smallest task is so exhausting when you are pregnant. I was just here and I SO feel for you! Good Luck with everything!!!! You are not sounding like a whiner. You get to say whatever you want right now and nobody will care.

So where is that Jump and Bounce? Is it new in the area or did you discover it after I left?

Those spiders are sooo cute. What a fun and creative mom you are!

Kamryn will be so jealous that you guys had a princess party. We should totally have another one so that I can come. Ha ha. We really should have a princess party because it is so cold now.
