From the Mouths of Babes

Have I mentioned before that I really suck at posting blog updates?? If I haven't I probably should have... And even though I've got the third baby and could use having three kids as my excuse, though it is a valid reason, the biggest reason is just that when faced with a few minutes of free time I generally don't choose to spend it writing a blog :) I am however working on my Christmas update (will include a couple REALLY cute pictures) and I'll have that posted before too much longer but probably not before the weekend. This update is just a short one because Rory said something far too cute not to be memoralized. :D

She wandered upstairs (she's in her own room downstairs now) about half an hour ago, after finally waking up, and plopped down beside Zack on the floor to watch some cartoons. She had a scowl on her face and every time he tried to say something to her or I tried to talk to her, she would bark her reply to us, all grumpy like. Finally it just became to funny for me when she told Zack to move his pillow away from her (remember that he was there first) because his breathing was too loud and she couldn't hear the TV. Granted, he is congested so his breathing is louder than usual, but still...

So I ask her, "Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning??"

She replies: "Yes. I was upside down."

I'm trying not to laugh because, obviously, that's not exactly what I meant but I manage to ask her next: "Were your feet on your pillow?"

"Yes." She responds and she's so serious looking with her scowl and her somber eyes that I'm trying to think of something to make her smile.

So I try one more time. "And your head was under the blankets?"

Nothing. Still just a scowl. "No." I just don't know what to say to turn her mood around.

"You could go get back in bed, with your head on the pillow, and then get up again on the 'right' side of the bed." I tell her.

"I can't." She tells me and I'm trying so hard not to laugh because she is SO serious sounding.

And I also can't help but ask the obvious question. "Why not?"

So she tells me why...

"Cause the other side of the bed is against the wall."

Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha....

I swear this conversation is word for word, minus some minor interruptions from Zack. Yep, yep. It was just so cute, and funny, I had to share it with everyone.

After all the waiting, both patient and impatiently, the baby is finally here!!! So without further ado, I'd like to introduce to you all: Helyn Saphira Marie Our precious jewel ;) Born August 6, 2008 [08-06-08] 5:59pm 7lbs 12oz, 21 1/4 inches (our biggest baby!) As for information on the actual birth, for those of you who are interested... I mentioned in my last post I had a doctors appointment on Wednesday afternoon and when he checked me I was 3cm dilated. Now at this point [1:15pm] I wasn't actually having any contractions and by the end of the appointment he had made arrangements to induce me on Thursday morning - which would have been the 7th. I went from the doctors office to my mom's office to let her know how things had gone and to visit for a few minutes. By 2pm I'd started to have a few contractions but I didn't think too much about them as they weren't really all that different from what I'd been having for the last week or so. By 2:30p...

Trick-or-Treating with the Kids!!

OH A HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!! She was Piglet at 5 months. A devil the next year. Last year Arora was a 'Butterfly Princess Fairy' (she couldn't narrow it down to just one), and this year we settled on being a witch. The decision making bit for the costume, of course, was that it had bright pink in it. But mommy (obviously that's me) was able to find a pair of tights and a sweater in the same shade of bright pink, so on the whole the Witch was a winner!!! Being only three weeks old last year on Halloween Zack didn't actually dress up. In a sense he was just 'a new-born' and we didn't actually take him around at all. This year though we (and I suppose that should really just be 'I') wanted his costume to be something really cute, but cool too. When I was shopping in Calgary a couple weeks ago I was able to find the PERFECT costume, at Old Navy of all places, and though mom and I worried that it might be a bit too big, we were wrong, it ...

A Quickie!

So here's an update on the whole oven/stove issue. Allow me to briefly describe the conversation I had with my mom... Me: It worked before and now it doesn't. It's broken. (somewhat paraphrased) Mom: Check the fuses. Me: I will, but I'd rather have a new one. Mom: And if that's not it then replace the elements. Me: I will. But I'd really prefer a new one. Mom: Dad will be home on the weekend I'm sure he'd could look at it for you, if you need him too. (that one's somewhat paraphrased too but that's the gist of what she said) Me: He can. But I'd REALLY rather have a new one. For Christmas and all. (and I smiled sweetly even though she couldn't actually see it since we were on the phone!) Mom: It can probably be fixed. Me: Probably. Though I'd REALLY just like to get a NEW ONE! Mom: If it can't be fixed, we'll see. Me: (and I'm smiling really big now) Since it's Christmas and all? Mom: Yeah, Christmas. Somehow, ...
