"Stomp Out Drugs" Day at school, wearing her pink boots

It is "Red Ribbon" week at Annabelle's school. Today is "Stomp Out Drugs" day so the kids got to wear boots. Annabelle was really excited that she got to wear her pink boots to school - she had picked out a pair of polka dotted rain boots to wear and I talked her out of wearing them :)

I wear my sunglasses...

...and today is sunglasses day at school!

Silly Socks Day

Silly Socks!

Today is silly socks day at Annabelle's school. She's wearing a pair of socks that say "Girls Rule". She was VERY excited to wear them to school today.

Sheesh! Elderly!

Today I was checking out my medical summary online and found this listed: "Elderly multigravida. Second or more pregnancy in a woman who will be 35 years of age or older at expected date of delivery."

ELDERLY! Sheesh, I didn't realize I'm considered ELDERLY at the early age of 39! I sure don't "feel" elderly. In a world where MANY new Moms are over the age of 35 I just find it amazing that they have it noted that I am "elderly" in at least 3 places on my medical charts.

I'm going to be sure to point this out to Justin as another excuse why I don't need to be doing housework and we need to get a cleaning service - after all I AM elderly!

...and since I NEVER post pics of myself, here's one of me today with baby brother.

Wohoo! Only 96 more days!

Only 96 more days until Annabelle will be a big sister. We were talking about upcoming holidays and Annabelle said "First comes Halloween, then my Birthday, then Thanksgiving & Christmas!" I added "and then Little Brother" and she said "Noooo! I don't want a little brother!"....I'm hoping she changes her mind by the time he arrives!

Sleepy

It's been a rough week around here. Annabelle has a horrible cold - I'm sure she caught it from her germy Kindergarten class. She has been so tired after school. Last night she fell asleep sitting up while watching Glee! Poor girl. Thank goodness we only have a half day of school today and she is off school Monday, this will be some well needed time to rest and get better!

Grades Are In

Annabelle's first "report card" came home in her homework folder on Friday. She made mostly A's with a couple B's. I was elated, Justin wasn't happy with the B's (of course, since he's a perfectionist). Kindergarten is going well and seems to move at break neck speed. Annabelle likes school and hasn't protested going as of yet. The early morning drop off is a little too early for us some days but we're getting used to it. We leave the house around seven every morning and Annabelle has been telling people she goes to school at night since it's still dark outside when we leave the house!

We're gearing up for Halloween and will hopefully get the fall decorations out this weekend. We have our Halloween costumes ready. We always love how busy our neighborhood gets on Halloween.

Little brother continues to grow and we are excited about his arrival, well, at least I am, Annabelle has her moments where she doesn't want a brother at all. He has been extra active the past couple weeks which makes us worry that he's going to be a hyperactive baby! I go in for glucose testing tomorrow - yuck, not looking forward to that.
