looking ahead

-
I apologize for all the sappy posts lately. I just have so many mixed emotions about leaving this job. It's hard to say good-bye to something that has consumed your life for months. On that same hand, though, it'd be harder to say no to an opportunity to stay home with my children again.

On that note, here are some things I'm looking forward to these coming months (pre-newborn craziness):
-going for walks, even 15 minute strolls
-going to parks, museums - any place we want!
-not watching tv during the day (ok maybe some GMA and maybe 2 baby shows...we'll see)
-having regular snack times!!!
-consistent nap times!!! woo hoo...totally totally excited for this!
-having my family be much much closer
-teaching Moose more songs, rhymes, stories (so he doesn't think that Chicka Chicka Boom Boom is the only story when I ask him if he wants to read a story)
-MOPS!!!!!!
-finishing the baby blanket I'm crocheting :)
-seeing my doctor again!!! yes, we decided to have the baby in Nebraska City again rather than Lincoln although we know most people would probably travel the opposite direction. We trust this doctor and I'm far enough along that finding a new doctor would be a Pain.
-having a quiet (semi-quiet) house

MOB Society: Bragging on Boys

Like my friend Erin shared in her "bragging" post, I don't necessarily want to "brag" about my boys but I am overjoyed at some of their accomplishments recently! So I will share with you! Moose is doing wonderfully at school. We moved him to the afternoon classroom and his teacher said that his behavior problems that they saw in the morning have virtually disappeared. Great! Twice last week (once at school and once at Sunday School) his teachers told me that he shared with someone. What a sigh of relief that one is; sharing is so hard but to know that what I'm implementing at home is working (even the itsy bitsiest bit!) is a relief.  I've noticed that baby toys are most enjoyed by the older crowd. Moose is also reading! I got the sight word list that kindergarteners start off with from his teacher - he read them all for me this morning. I bought a Chuggington book for him on their last book order - he read it by himself after only having it read...

Big A is forever telling me to not say certain things on the road. Don't call me dear. Don't gasp or shout; I'll think there's a deer. Although these are paraphrased (and he claims he's never said the first one), these are the basis for this tale. We went to the Husker game last night. Scratch that - we worked at the Husker game last night. We helped his aunt (and her church) sell backrests as a fundraiser. Big A has done this most of last year & all of this year so far. He loves it. You sell backrests until kickoff, then you watch the game, and pick up the rests after. You're there 90 minutes before game time and for about an hour or so after the game. And you sometimes get leftover food (Runzas and hotdogs and popcorn - please fine out what a Runza is for those of you who aren't from Nebraska....it's so yummy!). Anyway...we went to the game & a few of our friends helped pick up the chairs voluntarily after so (with that help plus our amazing sp...
