Adding A Middle Name

Last night while rockin out to tunes and dancing around the bathroom after bath time Schuyler decided she wanted a middle name ...

See when she was born we figured her full name was long enough and she didn't need a middle name ... and that if she got married one day she could just move her last name to her middle name ... and we couldn't come up with anything ...

Turns out we can't come up with anything for the upcoming Lincoln either ... so I don't know if he will have a middle name ...

Well back to what I started out talking about ... while Elvis was playing and Skye was WAY rockin' out she stopped and said she wanted Elvis as part of her name ...

I held back a giggle and said, "are you sure?" ...

"Oh yes mommy ... Schuyler Elvis."

She has his hip shake down ... I'll test it out when she is bad and I need to say her whole name ... we'll see how she likes it then ...

Nightly Shenanagans

Well last night around 10 we got a brand new outfit ... tonight around 10 we got a make over ... and boy was she ever proud of her make-up ... she has been eyeing my make-up bag for a long time and tonight as we headed up to bed this is what we encountered ...

Make-up Time 2/26/09

My New Outfit

So at 10 till 10 tonight my daughter came out of the bedroom and had us bursting into laughter ... she designed a new outfit and wanted us to see it ... mind you she should have been asleep for 2 hours already but it wasn't happening ...

Lets just say her outfit had a hat and gloves ... but the video will be more powerful than any words I could choose ...

My New Outfit

Belly Picture

I just haven't been good at all with the belly shots this pregnancy ... actually wasn't too good the last one either ... I think there is one other photo from Thanksgiving where you can see my belly ...

So since David shot such a cute one tonight I figured it is appropriate to post it here ... especially since today I am 33 weeks ... maybe I'll keep taking them till the end ... maybe ...

33 Weeks

Well we picked March 31st to have my C-section ... 5 weeks from today ... I am sure when the time comes it will seem like it went so fast ... right now it still feels kind of a long way off ...

I totally don't want to be pregnant anymore ... I think I blocked this part of the pregnancy out of my mind from last time ... the kicking is hurting me ... I can't turn over in bed without actually getting up and getting back into bed facing a new way ... the steering wheel rubs really hard on my belly but I can't move the seat back anymore if I want to touch the peddles ...

Basically I'm freakin huge and ready to not be anymore ...

In two more weeks I have another sono ... you know I have noticed the sono pictures I get this time just aren't as good as last time ... I wonder why that is ...

The big plus is I am enjoying the eating cause I want to totally cut it all out afterwards ... and at my last appointment I hadn't gained anything in 3 weeks which I thought was amazing ... so wooohoooo on that ...

I do wonder when this guy is going to be too big to keep kicking me ...

Split Second Pig Tails

Schuyler wanted a piece of chocolate the other day ... I wanted to see her curly hair in pig tails ... so we made a deal ... since she hates for me to do anything with her hair she said I could put in pig tails if she could have a piece of chocolate ...

I thought it was a fair deal ...

Little did we know I would be the one longing for more ...

They looked sooooooooooooo cute ... I want them in her hair all the time now ... she kept them in for what felt like a blink of an eye but was more around 15 minutes ... but as soon as she had enough they were out and she was chillin' on the couch eating chocolate ... and all I have are these photos to remember the moment ... because it has been 3 days since then and she hasn't let me touch her hair again ...

Super Saturday

I had the most fantastic day with Skye today ... David had jobs scheduled all day today so Skye and I headed out for a girls day ...

First we went to the tile store ... we had to change our order that was placed yesterday ... it took a while to get there but it gave Skye time for a quick cat name ... and we weren't in the store very long at all ...

Then it was off to the library ... I hate to admit this but it is the first time Skye and I have been to the library together ... she had gone lots of times with my mom or with David but she and I have never gone ...

She was so excited and kept hugging me and saying, "Thank you mommy ... thank you" ...

We took care of business first ... another thing I am embarrassed to admit ... I had a book that was a year over due ... I was surprised they hadn't just charged me for the book ... when I gave it to the woman and said I recently found it and thought it was about a year overdue she said well it is going to be the maximum penality then ... she said she was so sorry but it would be "blablabla" ... I said did you say 15 or 50? She laughed and said 15 ... I said I think I deserve that for having it so long ... so we paid the fine and then I got my own library card ...

First we found a book for my mom for her next book club read ... then I found the books I want to read ... I have decided to read the Laura Ingles Wilder series Little House ... I don't remember if I read them as a kid but recently Heather said she started reading them and was loving them so I thought it was a good idea ... and it was the only thing I could remember that I wanted to check out ... I figure now that I have paid that fine and have my own library card I can start reserving books on-line as I see ones I want to read ...

Then it was to the kids section ... we picked out a bunch of books for Schuyler and as I started reading "Little House in the Big Woods" (which is terrific so far) Skye watched the fish in the fish tank ... played with some puzzles ... looked through a huge stack of books ... and jumped into these huge floor pillows they have over and over again ... all the while running back over to me and giving me kisses and saying, "Thank you mommy" ...

After we had had our fill of the library and checked out our stack of new books we headed to get a smoothie ... of which we were both excited about ... as we passed Dunkin Donuts Skye asked if we could get some ... and I thought that sounded like a great idea ... we could have donuts for breakfast tomorrow ... so after smoothies it was donut time ...

We got a dozen to bring home and also got some donut holes to have right now and found a nice seat in the middle of the place ... very loudly and clearly Skye said over and over, "ummmmmm mmmmmm these are delicious ... i like these ... yummmmm chocolate cake mommy .... yummy thank you mommy" ... it elicited giggles from everyone within ear shot ... she was totally cracking me up ...

Then suddenly she yelled, "Listen mommy it is my bath song. I gotta dance." ... jumped up from her chair and started shaking her groove thing ... the song playing is on the CD that we play during bath time so she knew it and was ready to boogie ...

A little girl at the next table (maybe 5 or 6) kept saying, "She is so funny." ... then she got up and said, "We're gonna dance" and the two of them started doing twirls and shaking the booties ... it was so cute ...

After our impromptu Dance Fever we headed home ... Grandmommy came over for a little while and hung out ... we got to show her the progress on the house and read some of our new books ...

I'll tell you today was one of those days that makes me long to be a stay-at-home mom ... getting to spend the day with Skye every day would be wonderful ... and she appreciated it so much and was so loving and thankful it makes me wonder if she thinks the same thing too ...

For now I am just going to beel lucky and blessed that I get to have these experiences with her any chance I get ...
