I think I can . . .

be the mother of 3 children, right?

Check back tomorrow for details.

Let Birthday Week Commence

Amy's birthday marks the start of Birthday Week at our house.

(Including the birth of the little miss on the 5th there are
5 family birthdays to celebrate this week)

Jack and Addy were very excited to eat "Happy Birthday Cake".

Ryan ordered a yummy cake from one of the nurses at work.

For this week only, Ryan and Amy are the same age.
Next week Ryan goes back to being OLDER.

Good thing only one week left

or I may lose my temper.

If one more person rubs my belly or asks me if I am having twins, I may be very unkind in my response. I've been thinking of rude things to say all day. You are warned.


I have never been so cranky as during this pregnancy, so be kind to me this last week and we will all be happier. (Ryan thanks you in advance too).



Stay tuned for pictures of our extreme nesting project. It is mostly done.

Random sharing for a Saturday

This is too funny not to share. I promise this is an actual quote.


"Hey, congratulations Amy. You have a black girl booty. Looks good."



My visiting teaching companion said this to me yesterday. And apparently she is an expert because a) she is black and b) she likes her big booty.


I am taking this as a compliment :)

Why I like it when Ryan works nights

There are very few perks during the weeks that Ryan works nights. He just finished his recent two weeks of nights and I really enjoyed my afternoons while he and the kids had family nap time.

Monday- I went to Wegmans by myself. And not just any Wegmans. I went to the Pittsford Wegmans and took my time and bought myself and a friend flowers. It was lovely.

Tuesday- It was a beautiful day so I called a friend and we went for a nice walk. During said walk, she mentioned she was getting her haircut the next afternoon and so I made an appointment too.

Wednesday- I had the best haircut I have had in Rochester since my dear friend, Lindsey moved. I have finally found someone I will return to for trims or cuts. I love my new cut and it makes me feel like summer is just around the corner. I also introduced my friend to the joys of Xpedex. I got 80 sheets of cardstock for $2.00. I love that place.

Thursday- I got a pedicure. My toes are now painted with the color "Friar, Friar pants on fire." You can picture it. No? It is a shiny, apple red.

Friday- I went to Parkleigh and bought Ryan some of these to celebrate his finishing nights. Also went with a friend on a quest to find the right shower curtain for her new bathroom. She did not bring one home but there are possibilities.


I may not have another week like this for awhile. I will enjoy looking at this list to remind me of afternoons spent doing enjoyable, childfree, relaxing things.
