Fun Weekend as a Family of 3

Well, the hope that my drs. appt on Friday would "stir things up" and throw me into labor was a no go!  So we had a nice, relaxing, but fun weekend as yet still a family of 3.  Friday afternoon Liam and I went and had his haircut.  He needed it soooo bad and has always LOVED it, but I think he is associating so many things with drs. these days, he started crying as soon as they put him in the car (the seat to cut his hair)...he got better towards the end, but still was not a huge fan this time.  We then went to pick up yummy pizza for dinner which was not ready so Liam played with some sugar packets while we waited.  ;)  We got home around 5:30 and daddy was already home!  It was nice to have him home early.  We ate and went for a nice walk (really to try to walk the baby out) but that did not work either.  haha 

Saturday morning started early with Liam's last day if soccer for this session.  Dada and Liam slept til 8:30 and we rushed out to make it there by 9, but we did!  Liam has come a long way and it has been hard playing with all older kids.  Taking turns and listening was really hard at first, but he is doing so much better with it.  He still likes to use his hands more than his feet, but it is fun for all of the kiddos there.  ;) We plan to sign up for the next session too, but just have not gotten around to it.  It will be something nice for daddy and Liam to do when the new baby comes.

We went to breakfast at Le Peep (our fave) and stopped home to write down directions to the pumpkin farm.  SOOOOO glad we went!  It was so much fun for all of us.  We got there around noon and stayed till 1:30iash and made it home just in time for a late nap.
Here are some fun pics:

 Mommy forgot to dress you in Orange, but this pic is still soooo cute! 

Liam, yhou LOVE animals so much!  your face lights up when you see them and you had a BLAST feeding them.  I think you could have stayed there all day!  A pet is in your future, let's just get through all these diapers first!  ;)

Your first hayride!  Loved it once we started moving.  And you loved picking out all of the hay and throwing it.  ;)

Next, we went to pick out a pumpkin.  You were very into THROWING the pumpkins and loved playing in the dirt.  Mommy and daddy found a special one for you and you really liked it!  You carried it in your stroller after and we put it on the front step when we got home.  You cried because you still wanted it in the house.

                                         Your special pumpkin!
You also played on a tractor and with some more pumpkins after we ate lunch.  You would not eat the hot dog...you just had some grapes instead.
I am trying to post some more pics of all of that, but having some technical difficulties, so maybe I will add them later.  We all had a GREAT time!

When we got home, you took a nap, daddy cut the grass, and mommy relaxed on the couch.  When you woke up from your nap, we realized the DVD player was broken (I wonder how THAT happened!!!)...so we headed to Best Buy to get a new one.  Then to the mall so you could play, but you were not all about it yesterday.  After that, we went to dinner at Down Under Pub (because we had a coupon and mommy is OBSESSED with coupons!) which was really yummy.  You played with your crayons and coloring books the WHOLE time.  You were so good but so into coloring, you did not eat anything, except for your FAVE...FRENCH FRIES!  Then, mommy and daddy picked up a movie and we headed home.  Bath and bed when we got home and we watched a WEIRD movie called Roommates.  Redbox is great, but never know what to pick and usually I do not pick a good one!  Mommy went to bed at 10:15 and good thing because I was up at 4 again until 5:30 and then back to sleep.

Today, Sunday, was perfect so far!  Liam woke up around 7:30 and mommy got up with him.  We got dressed, played, watched a DVD, and you ate a banana.  Mommy cooked Sunday breakfast around 9:30 and we all ate together.  Tried again to give you eggs, but it was a NO!  You ate some sausage, strawberries, and a hashbrown.  You LOVE hashbrowns and french fries.  Then, mommy and daddy got ready and we headed to the Cottonwood Festival in Richardson...I think this is definitely Liam's favorite festival so far.  There was chalk and chalkboards, good music, and a playground.  Have some great pics, but again, I cannot upload anymore for some reason.  Anyway, it was great fun and beautiful weather and we were home by 2 for your nap.  You were such a good boy all day!  Even in the car when we were stuck in tollway traffic for an hour.  Give you some crayons and a coloring book these days and you are VERY happy!!!!  You are sound asleep now and look so cute in the monitor!

As for baby #2, I have not even said anything to Rick, but around 11 am, I started with some light cramping and it has continued throughout the afternoon...I cannot find a regular pattern, so I do not THINK they are contractions, but who knows!  It is the only sign of labor I have had yet!  I was feeling no pains or pressure all week prior to this...Maybe I will be posting next that they WERE and she is HERE!!!  We shall see!

GREAT weekend!!!  I love our little family SOOO much!
