My big girl!

That's right! My little girl is growing up and using the potty and wearing her big girl pants!

Fall is here

Words cannot express how happy I am that fall is here (well, I think not officially for another couple of days) and the weather is cooler. Summer was waaaaay to hot for me. I barely stepped out of the house unless it was to get to the car to go to the pool. We actually spent the day outside yesterday as a family doing yard work and clearing some of the brush and poison ivy out of the side yard. Guess who got poison ivy....again. Nope, not me and not Maya. Kevin could wear a bubble suit and he would still get it somehow. He had on long sleeves and long pants with his pants tucked into his socks and yet again the next morning woke up blotchy and itchy. We accomplished so much and my "little helpler" supervised and even helped put some sticks in the back of the tractor. Her favorite part was the mulitple tractor rides to take to brush to the dump spot.

Although it felt great to be outside, I think I overdid it a little bit with the lifting and hauling. The Braxton-Hicks contractions that came later that evening were not so much fun. My "little man" inside probably was not too happy that Mommy was feeling "strong." Oh that's right. For anyone who doesn't know, yes, it's a boy! Kevin talked all day about how he was going to put him to work. I hope he at least waits a couple years before working him like crazy.
