I am so happy that we've been enjoying nice weather... in between the rain and snow storms. The kids live outside, and I love it. I will love it even more after we get the rest of our fence up so that Carly can run wild.
Carly has mastered the swing set. She'll climb all the way to the top and go down the slide all by herself.
Luke said he misses the snow a little, because it was fun to play in. He must be like his Dad and love winter activities.
Abigail loves going out more often now that it's warm... she's definitely her Mom's girl. I really don't like winter.
Carly has decided that it's time for a toddler bed. We've had a vacant one in her room since Abigail went to the bunk bed, but Carly still slept in the crib. She has known how to get out of her crib for a while, but she only did it when she woke up. One night she kept getting out so Ben went and told her to get back in... she jumped right into the big girl bed and smiled. She's really good to stay in, but now she wakes up earlier than she used to.
One night she ended up asleep with her head under her crib. It looked so uncomfortable, I don't know how she got to sleep.
Carly has sure figured things out early... she taught Luke and Abigail how to open doors with those plastic childproof things over the handles. She makes sure the rubber circle is on top of the knob and then pulls down, opening the door. She climbs up Luke's bunk bed and runs around... I do actually make her get down, it scares me when she gets up there. I just don't remember Luke and Ab getting into this much trouble so soon. I feel like I can't let her out of my sight for a second.
And here I am with eight weeks to go and I feel like I've got a million things to do. 1. paint Carly and the baby's room
2. paint my room
3. paint dressers
4. paint the downstairs foyer (I'm actually waiting for paint to dry so I can continue)
(Don't worry I paint with my Dr.'s ok, a mask, and a well ventilated area, no brain dead baby here)
5. sew a matching quilt for Carly's bed, and curtains
6. fix our yard... we had some people come and take some of our landscaping rocks, which left gaping holes... so now we need to figure out what to do with the yard. Which I guess since I can't do anything but stand around being useless it falls to Ben... but I do want to get flowers planted.
7. pick a name for the babe... which most likely will happen last minute in the hospital with the birth certificate lady breathing down our necks.
I put these things on here so that maybe it will give me more pressure to get them done.

You seriously look so beautiful. You should be on the cover of some prego magazine!
You look great! Wow, you have a lot of things to do, good luck! (By the way, I got my girls easter dresses at Costco.)
I love you hair, so cute! You look great Meg, You look like you are only about 6 months preggo here can't believe you only have 8 more weeks!
Good luck on your to do list!
Wow Megan, you look so good, and only 8 weeks left?! Good luck with your list of to-do's!
oh my gosh, if i looked as great as you with only 8 weeks left AND three other kiddos-- i'd have a billion kids!!!!! instead I look like a beached whale.... NOT PREGNANT... so i'm sticking to Ava, a dog, and maybe a life-sized baby doll that poops and pees.
good luck with a name for your kiddo-- not easy!
Well, if you need me to help paint or take your kids while you paint I can. You're almost done with the quilt since you cut the binding today, so that's 1-5. For number 6, you should let Matt come over and let him pretend it's his yard, he loves to landscape and wishes he had his own yard instead of Pres Vaughan who is SO particular about everything. I have no ideas for numero 7, I can only have one girl since that's all the names we can agree on, so please don't take it. (All this is easier said than done)
Congratulations --- I didn't know you were expecting --- you look so cute that way. The best to you
aunt Claudia
