Labor day or Halloween?

An update on me...
For those of you who haven't heard....
Last night I was having contractions pretty much all night but nothing real, they were waking me up while sleeping, or I was dreaming about them (which I think were real ones just not too strong) When Tim left for work at 3:30 am I joked that I would be calling him in a little bit. After he left, they got stronger and more consistent. I called him around 6 and we went to the hospital around 7:30am. Once there I had a contraction in the elevator, and then not a single one once they put me on the monitor (shy Molly). The nurse had me walk around for about 20 minutes and I had 3 more, yet they weren't as strong. She put me back on the monitor for about 20 minutes and I only had one:(
I got sent home, which made me happy cause I can take the kids trick-or-treating:)
As it stands now, I have had them consistently all day, but they are about 10-12 minutes apart. The nurse said to come back at about 7 min apart. She seamed to think that this was early labor and I would be back later today or early tomorrow.
So we are going out to trick-or -treat about 4pm. and we are going to Tims moms neighborhood which is close to the hospital so that if we have to leave we can....

Things Madden does to your husband...

He gets no sleep the night before in anticipation of getting the game.
He warns me that I should go to the movies after work, as the TV and him are otherwise occupied.
He asks the cat (whos asleep in the couch) if she has a problem. Over and over....
He hasn't brushed his hair all day.
He asked me to hold his controller while putting Jason in his carseat, but wouldn't shut the car door until I gave it back.
Two days ago the Fedex driver delivered to the neighbors, He went out to make sure that it wasn't his game that got delivered.
Yesterday he tracked the package on Fedex site so much that I thought it was going to pop up and say, "just be patient dang it"

I can't keep up

Although the blog Olympics are fun, I can't keep up, so I guess I am withdrawing from them:) Some of us have to work.:)

two bumps in two days.

Poor Jason's head. Yesterday he "fell" (aka got pushed , by his lovely sister) off the diving board on to the concrete. Then just a few minutes ago ran right into the corner of the kitchen cupboards. In almost the same spot! While yesterdays I' m sure hurt worse, today's, looks worse.....:(

Things I learned this morning watching Mickey

That Daisy can climb a wall in pumps.
For some reason Daisy is the driver of the Mickey car.
That you can slow down Pete with bubbles
That Pete is a cat. Did anyone else know that? Crazy!
And because he is a cat he can be slowed with a ball of string.
To do the hot dog dance you swing your hips and snap you fingers ( I never knew there was a special way until the told us today)
To clean stinky shoes you need one bar of soap and one bottle of perfume, and of course the stinky shoes.

Thats all.

Home improvments...

Tim and I made a list of home improvements that we would like to to do, hopefully before the baby is here. We are actually getting somewhere on it. I have the living room half painted. We are still deciding if Tim likes the color or not.

We got the paint for the outside of our house, as well as lined up the supplies to do it with. Thanks to a friend of Tim's who's girlfriend works for a paint company, we got 20 gallons of free paint. We are waiting on a stucco guy to come do some work before we throw the paint on.

We also ordered new windows to replace the last 4 single pane metal ones that were left. I am kind of bummed that the new windows won't have that swing out character that our current ones add. But the new ones will be much more energy efficient.

Yesterday I mentioned to Tim that I had picked out the new ceiling fan I wanted to get for Kara's room since hers quit working about 8 months ago. So he called Greg (his step dad and electrician) and asked when he would have time to put it up. He said he would be over in an hour. So I had to run to the store right then to get it.

Just a few items to check off the list of to be done.
