It's TIME!

Woo Hoo!  Tonight I go in to start the induction and Ruby's birthday should be tomorrow. Friday the 13th!  Is that good luck or bad?  I'll just say it is good luck because my sis Gina was born on Friday the 13th and she turned out awesome.  I am nervous and excited but mostly I can't believe I have to do this again!  Birth is not my fave thing in the world.  Some people think it is magical or spiritual and I just think it is mostly painful and gross.  Until you meet your little sweetheart and then you forget about the yucky stuff and then  eventually the bad memories fade until you end up prego again and then to the point where I am, wondering why you signed up to do this crap again!  Today as I was driving around doing some last minute errands I found myself noticing all of the women around that had kids and thinking "Wow women go through so much to bring kids into this world and then they have to raise the little buggers too!"  Yea I know boo hoo!  I love my girls and they are very precious to me and I love to see them with JR.  Sunday on Liv's real birthday she blew out her candles and I asked her what she had wished for.  She said "for my Daddy."  That's the kind of stuff that keeps me going.  I love the moments when you feel strong family unity and love.  That's what makes it all worth it.  And those are the times when I look at my awesome hubby and think "I could totally have a million of His babies!"  SCARY!  Well #5 here we go!

Dance Performance

The girls had a performance Saturday at the Craft Fair down town.  They were so cute in their little costumes and they did such a great job!  We are definitely proud parents!  I didn't know how Liv was going to react when she saw all of the people watching her, but she didn't seem to mind.  She had a big smile on her face the whole time and she remembered a lot of her dance.  Last night we played games for FHE and Olivia kept beating Gracie at connect four and JR and I were laughing so hard while watching them.  I don't even think Liv knew what she was doing but she kept beating Grace!  Well I am still pregnant and have no signs that Ruby will be arriving any time soon.  I go to the doc tomorrow so we will see what He thinks.  I can't wait to meet this little sweet heart!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

We had a great Halloween!  JR's parent's were coming up to see the kids so we decided to have an impromptu birthday party for Olivia. Her birthday isn't until the 8th of November but, since we don't know when Ruby is going to make Her entrance we decided it would be smart to celebrate a little early.  My Mom was on Her way home from visiting Gina in Vegas and made it just in time for cake and trick or treating. My Dad had mandatory overtime at the plant and wasn't able to come.  We miss Him a lot!  I made a pumpkin shaped cake and I guess I should have overbaked it so it would be more stiff and stay together because it had a blow out on the bottom and the top layer started slidding off!  Oh well I tried!  And it tasted really good and moist.  Gracie was the corpse bride, Allison was a vampire, and Olivia was a ladybug.  She wouldn't wear Her antennae so I just did cute pig tails.  We had a lot of fun and while we were leaving the trunk or treat we saw the Headless Horseman!  He looked so cool!  He came galloping down the road holding a lantern and then He went around the park where the trunk or treat was.  I love people that get into the Holiday spirit!  We missed trick or treating at Dave and Calie's because they were in Orangeville.  But the kids were sick and so was I so we just loaded up at the trunk or treat and went home.  Andy came down and brought His new girlfriend Lisa over to meet us and brought Liv a birthday present.  It was fun to hang out and talk with them for a while.  The girls have a dance performance this next Saturday.  Think I'll make it?!  I don't know!  It would be funny to see JR try to get them ready for it!  He's just not a hairdoin' costume kind of guy!  Well, I hope everyone had a fun Halloween!  Can't wait to see the pictures of all the cute kids!

HALLOWEEN 2009!
