Week in iPhotos 11

I know those are flannel Christmas pajamas.

And I know it's 100 degrees outside, but this kid refuses to sleep with covers and I turn my upstairs into an icebox at night so I can sleep.

(Oh man, my A/C bill is going to be HUGE this summer.)

I've learned the hard way that if I don't dress him warm he will climb into my bed in the middle of the night and disrupt my sleep.

Sam's usual bedtime snack:  a toast sandwich

I resorted to this the other day when I had cleaned the kitchen for the second time.

These days, I sometimes don't even have the energy to clean it once so having done it TWICE in one day was a big deal and I wanted it to stay clean for at least an hour.

I try to take a nap on the living room couch every afternoon (or at least rest for awhile and read).

Sam decided to keep me company one day and fell asleep in about 2 minutes.

I took Lucy and Sam to the Dinosaur Museum for the two-billionth time.

I call this the gastroenteritis room.  It's muggy, it's moist, one thousand kids are running their germ-ridden hands all over everything.  It's THE PERFECT environment for breeding stomach flu germs.

We wash and sanitize vigorously after playing here.

In pregnancy news:

I've totally "popped" in the last two weeks.  I'm not quite half-way done and I can tell I am well on my way to having another big, 9 lb.-ish baby boy.

Heaven help me.

This short-waisted body was not meant to carry such big babies.

I'll post a picture in a week or two.
