8 million things you can do besides having a baby

So just killing time waiting for the baby.  Normally not a big deal but I felt pressure because I knew the count down was on for finals and the big move so I wanted him out.  So what did I do for two weeks? Basically ate a lot of food and spent money.  Haha.  Logan and I went on a few more dates.  We each had a date with the kids too.  We went to the Animal Safari Drive Through Zoo which was hilarious.  It is what it sounds like.  You purchase buckets of food and then drive through these open fields of animals.  They know the drill and will surround your car and stick their heads in your window asking for food.  The kids thought it was so fun.  They also had an area to walk through and feed more animals.  Very hands on and well worth the money.  We went on a bunch of hikes and got free ice cream on ice cream day.  Logan and Adam took the boys to a monster truck show which blew their minds.  I had an ice cream and Tangled movie date with Charlotte.  And we went to Dogwood days and went to the carnival and fireworks.  Needless to say, we stayed busy while we waited.

Charlotte's obsession with wearing her swim suit.  Jack's obsession with eating carrots for breakfast.

She picked out her outfit.  Can you tell?

She insists on pink ice cream.  It took her 40 minutes to eat this.  Slowest eater ever.

Hiking the Monticello Trail.

A date with Char to the Children's Museum.  Hugging a pig.

Fireworks at the Dogwood Festival.

It isn't a carnival until there is a creepy clown.

Monster truck show with Adam and Liam!

Meanwhile, Char and I watched Tangled, painted nails and got ice cream.  Again, more ice cream.

And 5 cent custard at Kohrs Brothers Ice Cream.

Playing in the rain while  I attempted to go for a jog at the track to go into labor.

Yes we went back again for  five cent custard that night.  I earned it from my run right?  This post has made me realize my ice cream addiction.  We ran into the Harding's (Char, Jack and Addie)

What a fool

Yes I haven't posted in over two months.  Life has been crazy but it's time for catch up.  So there I was thinking that soon after that last blog post I would be having a baby.  What a fool. Instead of coming a week early like Jack and Char, baby Holden (Surprise, It's a boy!) took his time and didn't come until a week after my due date.  So I was pretty cranky for a couple weeks just waiting around for him to come  I tried to distract myself with as many activities as possible.  Logan and I had a few more dates.  We went down town and splurged on a restaurant called Bang.  Expensive but the firecracker shrimp was well worth it.  Logan played in a law football tournament and we took endless rides on the bus.  

Just calculating some physics.

A late night run to the doctor for an ear infection with Char.  She was in good spirits though as we waited in CVS for her drugs and she grabbed everything pink/cats she could see to play with.  

Eating at Bang.  Yum!

Still pregnant.

Logan with his team taking a break.  It rained on and off all day.

They won their first game.  Mario, Nate Quist, Jack Shirley, Logan, Kayle Buchanan, Brett Bylund, and Brett Mellor.

Still pregnant.

The Charlotte's playing.

They won the tournament! Two years in a row.  Kayle left but Steve Guynn came.

We had the our game night buddies over.  Basically everyone without kids because we can actually hang out with them in the evenings.  The Bylunds, Guynns, and Bunkers.

Some Wii action.

Steve and Brett.

Bus rides.  Pure joy.
