Make Way For Bittrois!

Well, I will be 34 weeks along tomorrow (Nov. 30th) and we've mostly reclaimed our house from the remodel so it was time to start some prep for Bittrois' arrival.  We made good use of our kitchen table yesterday where I was sewing and the kids were crafting with Daddy.

I was working on new blankets for Emily and Everett's new beds...

(Everett said he was fake crying because he loved it SO much!)

and the kids were making cats.  (Everett's was a "cat-fish")

Here is proof that I am 34 weeks along AND that those blankets have some serious fluff!!

Today it was time to assemble the new beds and rearrange the rooms.

Now both Emily and Everett are in Emily's room (redecorating will come later...), 

and Bittrois will be in Everett's room that looks like a furniture store now.  FULL!

Bedtime could not have come soon enough for the kids tonight.

They were SO excited to be roomies!!

*And so far, it's been good.  Much like when they have had sleepovers... chatting and taking a while to settle.  Add in new beds and we had to help tuck them in a few times but they are out.  Now, only time will tell how the morning goes.  I fear Emily waking Everett WAY too early - or him waking her for an early morning bathroom run.

Thanksgiving 2014

This year we did not travel to Texas for Thanksgiving since I am in my third trimester with Bittrois.  We were invited to Aunt Patty and Uncle Roger's house for dinner and only assigned a dessert, so Daddy suggested we start our day at Disneyland!  Right in the gate, Everett went on the Cars ride with Daddy for the first time while Emily and I said hello to Mater and went on Soarin' over California.

We hit a few more rides and even split up a couple more times before ending our day at Autopia.  We haven't been on that ride for a while and this time I sat out and Everett and Emily rode with Daddy doing a driver switch.

Emily was not the most responsible driver with her hands up in the air... Daddy felt that he and Everett were safest if they just didn't look.

But, on the other ride, Everett kept his hands on the wheel and both passengers were hands free.

We left Disneyland at about 1 o'clock and had a very smooth and fast drive to Aunt Patty and Uncle Roger's.  When we arrived we had a quick costume change (thanks to Aunt Angie and Uncle Adam for the shirts!)

 (Emily is shooting an arrow since she is a Native American girl)

We snagged a halfway decent picture before dinner...

and a better one with our headbands after our meal was complete.

Other than that, we talked and ate.  Except for Emily and Everett.  They were the only kids and they spent most of their time watching a movie.

We had a fun day and have SO MUCH to be thankful for.  

Numero Dos!

November 10th, another vacancy in Emily's mouth.  Except, the permanent replacement is already there... so I guess no vacancy just the end of double occupancy!
