October

October has been a really busy month.  We tried to do as much as possible knowing that we would be homebound for the next few months, and mission accomplished!  

We started the month off with a bridal shower for Natalie.  It was a "Fiesta" shower and she got a lot of the Fiesta ware that she had registered for.  I love all the colors...made me crave a white kitchen with colored plates and bowls displayed in glass front cabinets, but that will have to wait

Of course, there was football and tailgating

Lila went to spend a few days in Ft. Worth with the Reeds and they went to Boo at the Zoo

I went with Natalie when she took her Bridal Portraits so we could get a couple of pictures together, and I could see her in her wedding dress (Just in case my little companions decide to make an early arrival and I can't make the wedding...a thought which brings me tears, but I made it through the day without being too emotional.)

The next day was the Bachelorette party

We painted pumpkins

Scary, huh?

We ended the month at my class reunion

and getting ready for Lila's Halloween party

A 3 3/4 yr old's view of pregnancy

1.  "Mom you're not very smart because your tummy's big, and I am smart because I don't have a big tummy"  (Now I just need her to remember that for the next 20 yrs).

2.  Lila:  Do the babies like Coke?
     Me:  What?
     Lila:  When you drink Coke, it goes to your tummy and they have their mouths open like this
     (demonstrating with mouth wide open), and they drink Coke, too.
     Me:  I guess
     Lila:  So...can I have some Coke, too?!

3.  Lila walks in room looking mad, arms folded over chest.
     Me:  Lila what's wrong?
     Lila:  I want to live in a water bubble, too.

4.  "Mom, can we make one of them be a baby brother"

5.  "Do they have toys in there?"

6.  Nana:  When you're a big sister you have to help feed the babies and bring Mom little towels
     Lila:  for what?
     Nana:  Well, babies have little tummies and sometimes they eat too much and spit up a little
     Lila:  Well, we're not going to have that at my house.
