A day like any other

except...

we were in HYPER nesting/productive mode. One thing that is great about my husband is that when I am supposed to be "nesting" he always out does me! I had a list of things I wanted to do today and we accomplished all of them before 9:30 am! Here is a random break we took with Bridget....(look at those piggies)

I am trying to get more videos of her because she loves to watch the ones of Lucas when he was one so here is my lame attempt today. :)

Since we had everything done that I had planned on doing I decided to add to the list. I am a FREAK about clutter anyway but for some reason when I am pregnant I am in pitch-it mode. If I haven't used it in 3 months it's gone. I also like to reorganize when I am pregnant, and any type of organization is up for Nathan so we reorganized the LazyDaisy and cleaned it out. (when I say we I mean he) The kids played with the fondue set while Nathan was busy in the baking corner of the kitchen. You will see that the counters are full of my #10 cans and my baking supplies, this is where they go and there is a lot! Doesn't Nathan look so into it...its because he WAS!
Then I made enchiladas for dinner and the kids ate so well that Nathan took us out for Blizzards. I love that my kids are wearing winter hats but no socks or shoes. Gotta love that warm Colorado January night weather! HAHAHA
We were very productive and I love that and I hope everyone else had a great day. Here is another random video for my sister and my father and GiGi if she can see it.

Freakish

I am 31 weeks pregnant.
I am having a girl.
In my ward at church there are 6 other ladies due in March.
They are all having girls.
I have 4 other friends due in March.
They too are having girls.
Stay with me - that is 11 baby girls coming in March.

I am getting ready for my appointment and see on GMA this story...

http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=6610242

The ABC news anchor is due in March with a girl, the dispatch is due in March with a girl and the chick that delivered in her bathroom was due in March with a girl!

Umm, not only was June a busy month but apparently it was time for the world to have more girls! HAHAHA

**on a side note I have several friends due in July and want boys so we will see what happens. **

Hair

It is weird to think that I would actually blog about this, but for people like my parents who make fun of me about what gets blogged and what doesn't (like the 15 items or less incident) but I felt like I should blog about this.

Bridget finally has long enough hair to put all the way up! She sits and laughs while I do her hair and it is just so cute. She loves to have her hair brushed by me or Nathan and anything that looks like a comb or a brush she will use on her hair, like a barbie comb or whatever. When I am done she will admire it in the mirror like look at me, I'm so pretty. I love it.
Here she is this morning. I was just playing and that is why nothing matches her outfit, but I ended up leaving it because she liked it so much. I used to not like the idea of having to do all of this girlie stuff but how can I not when she is just so patient and calm while I am doing it. :)

There is one thing I will never give in on and that is Make Up so Bridgey...
enjoy the hair - doing while it lasts! :)

Sunday

I would like to report that my Valiant 10 class went so well that I am pinching myself because I can't believe it! I had a class full of raised hands and kids eager to read and most of all good behavior! I loved my little CTR-5's but Valiant 10 seems pretty awesome so far! :)

I asked Lucas on the way to church if he wanted a brother and he said "No." I said you don't? He said "no, just have Robert share my room with me." I said to him, but Robert's mommy and sister and brother would miss him if he moved to your room. He said "I let them come visit" I told him that Robert can come visit us anytime but he has to stay at his house. Now do you want a brother Lucas? "No! One and two sisters is nuff." I asked him if he was sure and he said "Noah can be brother." I left it at that because he was starting to get annoyed. Hahaha

I would also like to add that our 1:30pm schedule was not as bad as I thought it would be. We fed the kids at 10:30 put them down for nap at 11 woke them up at 12:45 and gave them a snack on the way to church. Sacrament being first again was a little weird, Lucas kept asking me when it was time to go to class, but other than that it was nice. I liked coming home and eating dinner at 5:30 and getting into our night routine without the huge gap that 9:00am church gives you.

Decision

Wahoo! A decision has been made about what we are going to do with Lucas's new room. We had a few options and after weeks and weeks of deliberation his new room will be Firetruck themed. He already has a big boy bed and Bridget and him will share his room till July when he turns 3 and baby #3 sleeps better at night. (hopefully)

He is obsessed with Fireman Sam and anything Fireman, Fire Truck, Fire Station, etc. We found some toys in the basement that he now is so excited to play with. He is constantly asking us if our house is safe, like if the alarms work, if we have water for smoke and fires and he has a "Safety Saying" before we leave the house. It is so cute and so fitting for his new room. It's sorta cool to see that he likes something so much.

Here he is our little firefighter....
which of course means Bridgey has to be one too...
If anyone has or sees anything cute that is Firetruck/man related please pass it my way. We already ordered the bedding so wish us luck on the rest! :) I am a little sad to say that his sheep room is going to be painted over but its time to do something new he isn't a baby anymore after all! :)

Dino-rawrs

Aahh, the days when Lucas used to call them that. Now he is into what is their name? Oh and that dinosaur doesn't eat people it eats dinner. :) Today we went to the Nature and Science Museum with Ryan and Veronica and the boys to go see the Dinos before they leave Colorado on the 4th. Here are a few pictures...The exhibit wouldn't let you take pictures till the end but the kids liked digging into the pits to find fossils and other cool things like the knee pads Lucas insisted on using while digging. On your way out you could make plaster molds of dinosaur teeth and Lucas just walked right up and sat down and told us he wanted to "cook" so he got to mix and make a fossil. He thought that was pretty cool.
We ate lunch and went to the discovery zone, which Elijah and Bridget really liked. I am going to also add that Nathan the 30 year old really liked this part too! :)We also saw the normal Dinosaur Exhibit and the Space Exhibit and at the end we watched a Brain dissection, where the demonstrator flung actual brain parts on the front row...luckily we were in the way back and were able to go play with the kids stuff first, you know me I had to try on the Toddler Body Parts Smock...ooh aah...It was a fun day and afterwards we got to go peek at Nathan's new office. I can't wait to see it when it's all done!

A Day Off

With nothing to do? Have no fear Nathan Witte will find something random to fill your day! :) When Nathan's grandparents were in town on Sunday they handed out gift cards to Bass Pro Shop to the boys. There is one by our house but I never thought in a million years Nathan would want all of us to go with him. He has been trying and trying to get me to go but I just never saw the point.

With it being New Year's I shrugged my shoulders and said okay, and Nathan practically skipped through the house getting the kids ready. I had to shower and when I got out the kids were dressed and ready to go. Hahaha.

We got there and Lucas said to me "Mommy I'm in the nature!" "Look at these amm-mi-mals" So we walked around the store and let the kids walk around and discover all that there was to discover at Bass Pro Shop (which is just like Cabellas) and I have never seen my kids so excited to be in a store. Nathan was happy because the kids wanted to hang out in the tents and play so he could look at more camping stuff. (sarcastic yea)Bridget wanted to pet all of the animals and then we found the ATV's lets just say we spent a good 20 minutes climbing and playing on all of them. :) This last picture was taken on Nathan's phone, that is why it is crappy, but you get the point, they had a great time and it was a fun way to spend New Years together!
