Christina- well at least you were able to get it off of your chest. Hopefully your Dad takesit to heart. Glad you had a nice weekend. I bet your pictures are beautiful as always. 

Our weekend was good. We spent it painting. We never finished all the kitchen cabinets (yes from last year) but I told dh that I wanted to do thanksgiving here again, so now we are in high gear. Yesterday we won't to the Denver Mueseum of Nature and Science. We got to see the Pompeiiexhibit. It was really cool. They have the plaster cast of the bodies and all the artifacts and frescos and mosaics and stuff. Totally amazing and humbling. Dh got to go with us and I was glad. The kids just finished studying Ancient Rome, and we covered Pompeii, and learned about volcanology and super volcanoes and stuff so the trip to the Mueseum kind of wrapped that up. Best comment of the day, Bachus the roman god of wine and hospitality I guess, lol. Was a statue placed in many Roman Atriums to welcome guests and all of his statues are of him in the nude holding a jug of wine and such and Zoey said That does. It look very welcoming. I think she was referring to the nudity, but it was funny. There were a few of the frescoes that were a bit explicit. I didn't get saddled with too many uncomfortable questions though lol. Today just school and a run to the grocery store. 

Christina- well all 3 kids are always in the room.  So even though Blayse is required to learn about the American and French Revolution, branches of Government and the Constitution, everyone LOVED  learning about ancient Rome. They generally listen to all the literature stories together too. Zoey just finished Polyanna and Blayse is reading Robinson Crusoe, but we take turns reading the story out loud so everyone listens. 

Yesterday was BUSY. we did school, then I had to fight with insurance AGAIN. Every time I need to refill a prescription for Blayse I have to make a series of phone calls now. My insurance has become a real nightmare. Now they don't want to pay for his injections. They are $2000 a month. The financing department is supposed to call me, but I cannot imagine FINANCING medication. Anyway after all of that I was making sandwiches for lunch then dropped a jar of FULL peanut butter on my toe. OMG I haven't been in that much pain in a while. It hurts PRETTY bad, lol. But last night it was SO swollen. At least this morning after being off my feet the swelling is down. I don't think it is broken, but I wasn't so sure yesterday. Anyway after that I gimped around and went and got groceries then came home and helped my elderly aunts move some TV's out of their house. They wanted Justin to do it, but he wasn't home. Then I came home and made dinner. I HATE THE TIME CHANGE. I would rather have it stay light later than get light earlier. I always feel like it is SO LATE now. Anyway we watched some election results then went to bed :p. nothing out of the usual really it just seems like it was a long day. Oh on a cool note Dagon finished his Kindergarten math book yesterday, so I am going to find him a first grade one this week. He is a clever little dude. He does a lot of math on his own, because I get busy with the other kids, and if I read him the directions and maybe give him a little instruction he can do it by himself, so it keeps him busy, the result is usually several math pages a day, lol. 

Janette- I'm 13 weeks today... finally starting to get past the nausea/queasiness, thankfully!  Although there's still definitely certain foods that leave me wishing I had NOT eaten them... sigh...  Enjoy some outside time before the cold kicks in!

Christina- I think we should find out right around Christmas?  If I'm doing my math right that should be the 18-20 week zone...  :)  Just not sure when I could get in for an appt. to find out.   Are you looking forward to the new company?  WIll it be different work, or more or less the same stuff?

I'm still tired... trying to catch up from Tuesday night... I went to bed early last night, but then Q woke up at 5:45 and came into our room... I told her it was too early and she had to go back to bed, which resulted in tears, so she got to crawl into bed with us... thankfully she fell back asleep within minutes... but it's never as restful sharing your pillow... :)

Hope you guys all have a good day!

Oh yeah I need to re do drawers too. My kids still have shorts and t-shirts in their dressers. 

Kristin- what a cool Christmas present. If you decide to tell everyone you could wrap a bunch of tiny "it's a boy" or "it's a girl" presents. D you have a preference? I know we all say we just want a healthy baby, BUT I haven't ever met a mom that didn't at least have SOME preference.

Christina- I hope that the new company works out well for you!
