This is what happens when I try to work when the kids are awake....


Work has been extra busy lately with tax season and different responsibilities that I've taken on this year. I usually try to work early in the morning when the boys are still sleeping and in the afternoon when they take their naps. But with so much going on, I've been trying to do some while they are awake. That is when trouble happens! The picture above is what happens when Dawson finds a black permanent marker and writes all over himself and all over my less than 6 month old couch while I was on a phone call in my office. I guess I'm lucky he was still running around in a diaper so clothes weren't ruined. (now I see something positive!)

Rubbing alcohol has helped and it's starting to fade now. Thank goodness!

A few days later, we had just gotten home from running errands and I went downstairs to check messages & email. I was downstairs for literally 3 minutes and I came upstairs to a dozen & half eggs thrown all over the floor! You can see 3 eggs that survived their crash to the floor. It's amazing what these 2 can accomplish in just minutes!


But in their defense, they are pretty sweet boys most of the time and there are lots of times I do get things done while they are awake. They are becoming really good buddies too. It makes all the craziness of having them close worth it! Now we just have to hope they let their little sister join the club!

Creed loves to walk around with something draped over him. Sometimes he cries until we put something over him and then he's just fine. I'm sure he'll have to have counseling when he's older! :)

Did I mention......

I just realized that I haven't even posted on our blog that we are having another baby......jeez! We announced it on facebook, but not on our blog - where are our priorities! So....let me just announce to anyone who still looks at this blog that we are having another baby! Due date is July 1stish and It's a GIRL! We are going to name her Avery Elaine and we are really excited to have a little girl around here! It's sort of like having a first baby again after having 2 boys - we have a lot of pink stuff to get! So far it's been a pretty good pregnancy, I mean, I have had my moments but who doesn't when they are prego, right!! I'm almost 26 weeks and baby is doing great. So for anyone just finding out i'm pregnant, this is going to be a really quick pregnancy!
I'm not sure how much Dawson really understands about what is going on. Most of the time he refers to my belly as "the dinosaur baby". So he probably thinks we are getting a pet dinosaur sometime soon - won't he be disappointed. After we knew it was a girl, we've been calling the belly "Avery", but I'm not sure they understand what an "Avery" is!! Creed obviously is clueless, except that mom is loosing more lap every day for him to sit on. I'm sure it will be interesting when we bring this little girl home to see how the boys react. I think she is one lucky girl though, she'll have 2 big brothers to look out for her. I was the oldest and growing up I wished that I had an older brother to watch out for me, so I think she's extra lucky to have 2 big brothers! And I think the boys are lucky to get a little sister to pick on!! :)
