BG Carnival

We went to the Beverly Garden's Carnival Friday night. The girls had fun. Anya didnt have as much fun as she could have because she was sick. she took naps in the afternoon both Sat and Sun and she still isnt quite 100% yet. poor anya :( instead of a "cake walk" they did a "cupcake walk" but i had already gotten it in my thick head that I was going to make cute cakes for it. I ended up making them anyway. I make my signature caterpillar cake (this time it looked alot like the very hungry caterpillar) and i also made a cake that looks like a hot dog. I will get those pics uploaded later today (i hope).

Mike told anya and asia about the new baby while i was taking a shower before the carnival and i was totally unaware. So, when we were sitting and watching the magic show, i was taken aback when asia looked at me and said "mommy, you're having a baby". it was quite random, but very cute. Anya and Asia are both very excited! i just hope they can wait 28 more weeks!

there's a bun in the oven

We are baking again. This bun should be done around Oct. 13th +/- a week. =) i am hoping for 9-29-09. No, we are not going to find out the sex and no we are not going to tell anyone the names we pick.

we havent told anya and asia yet. i think they will be excited, but i dont think they can wait 29 more weeks. i think we may wait until i am actually showing and anya starts asking questions before we tell them.

since our house is only 3 bedrooms and most of our stuff is still in the garage anyway, we are going to try to move into a 4 bedroom house sometime before bun pops out. (or gets cut out, however you want to look at it). hint, hint, if anyone is interested in helping us move since we will be doing it ourselves.

i will keep everyone posted and put pictures up as soon as we have one that actually looks like a baby. i brought home an ultrasound pic from around 6 weeks and mike said it looked like a blob. i guess he was right, but still. =)

busy as a bee...

I know, i know. it has been a looooooooooong time since i last posted. oops, sorry. I have been swamped with stuff. i picked up a few projects at Anya's school. i am in charge of collecting and counting box tops. those were due at the end of Feb. this time we turned in nearly 6000 box tops! and I counted them all =) now that that deadline has passed, i can focus on my next major project. the yearbook. Mike swears that i said i would never do it again, but here we are, less than two weeks away from having it finished. the program i use has a little counter of how many days until it is due. i am down to 10 and there is still so much to do! it will get done one way or another. =) we have also been busy with Anya's girl scout cookie sales. we need to have the money turned in this weekend. thank goodness, i am tired of looking at cookies. last weekend we had a nice (but long) trip to Michigan to deliver cookies to relatives. it was fun, but way too short for the amount of driving we did. it seemed like every 30 minutes someone had to pee and it was an emergency. but we did find a good barbeque place in Tipp City (right next to the Spring Hill Nursery Outlet). very yummy!

i probably wont post again until after the yearbook is turned in. Anya's grade is putting on a musical on Tuesday the 24th. so i will definitely post pics from that! she is very excited and has been practicing her songs and lines every day. she gets to be a rose. how cute! =)

Asia is doing well too. she really enjoys school right now and also pretending she is either a lion (Aslan) or a tiger (Tigress from Kungfu Panda). Mike even did her face with face paint markers to look like some sort of cat. she said she was going to scare everyone, but all the people we saw said how cute she was. after i got most of it washed off, people kept asking if she had gotten into the makeup. silly.
