I hope you all had a fun Holiday weekend. As usual we enjoyed our Thanksgiving meal. I was up at 3:30am the next day to do some shopping. I got to WalMart a little after 4:00am, and found a great spot in line at my favorite location (the automotive entry). It was a mad house once I got inside, but I got some good deals there and at a few other stores. We got a tree up this weekend, and the kids were really excited. My hubby also put some lights up outside on Sunday.
Unfortunately I started having anoying itching again like I had when I was pregnant with Sweetpea. It is a nasty itch all over without a rash. Last time the dr. found out it was caused by my liver not functioning properly. I went to the Dr. last Tuesday to have my blood drawn, they wanted to check out my liver funstion again. I still haven't heard back from the CNM yet she is supposed to call me tommorow. Hopefully she will, and I can get on the right meds again before I itch myself to death :(
Anyways I will update you all futher and post some new pics later this week.

Happy Thanksgiving!
I just want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you will all have a blessed time with family and friends.
Here is Abraham Lincoln's Thanksgiving Day proclamation for you to enjoy:
Abraham Lincoln's Thanksgiving Day Proclamation
The year that is drawing towards its close, has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies. To these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come, others have been added, which are of so extraordinary a nature, that they cannot fail to penetrate and soften even the heart which is habitually insensible to the ever watchful providence of Almighty God.
In the midst of a civil war of unequalled magnitude and severity, which has sometimes seemed to foreign States to invite and to provoke their aggression, peace has been preserved with all nations, order has been maintained, the laws have been respected and obeyed, and harmony has prevailed everywhere except in the theatre of military conflict; while that theatre has been greatly contracted by the advancing armies and navies of the Union. Needful diversions of wealth and of strength from the fields of peaceful industry to the national defence, have not arrested the plough, the shuttle, or the ship; the axe had enlarged the borders of our settlements, and the mines, as well of iron and coal as of the precious metals, have yielded even more abundantly than heretofore. Population has steadily increased, notwithstanding the waste that has been made in the camp, the siege and the battle-field; and the country, rejoicing in the consciousness of augmented strength and vigor, is permitted to expect continuance of years, with large increase of freedom.
No human counsel hath devised nor hath any mortal hand worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the Most High God, who, while dealing with us in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy.
It has seemed to me fit and proper that they should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and voice by the whole American people. I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens. And I recommend to them that while offering up the ascriptions justly due to Him for such singular deliverances and blessings, they do also, with humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience, commend to his tender care all those who have become widows, orphans, mourners or sufferers in the lamentable civil strife in which we are unavoidably engaged, and fervently implore the interposition of the Almighty Hand to heal the wounds of the nation and to restore it as soon as may be consistent with the Divine purposes to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquillity and Union.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand, and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, this third day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, and of the independence of the United States the eighty-eighth.
A. Lincoln

New Washer/Dryer!
Well we just got our first new Washer and dryer set! They our frontloading Whirlpool Duet Sports, and they are awesome. I've already done about 8 loads. Our dryer broke a couple of weeks ago, and we decided to get a new set becasue we are sick of old ones. In the 5 years we've been married we have gone through 3 dryers and 4 washers :( Anyways hopefully these ones will last awhile. Also they are supposd to use alot less water and energy so that's cool. Here is a picture for your enjoyment. I was also really excited that they can be stacked so they take up alot less space.

Links and other stuff!
Well I've had a really busy week and haven't had time to post anything. I had my glucose screening done on Thursday, and ended up being at the Dr.s office for 2.5 hrs. The Dr. and my CNM were both called to a birth. Luckily the kids were with my mom. Other than that we are all doing fine. Here are a few links you might find interesting:

Sweetpea is 2
Well our little girl turned 2 yesterday. She is getting so big ;( We gave her a play kitchen yesterday for her present and she loved it. I will have to get a pic of her with it. I took her to her 2 year check today she now weighs 34lbs and is 37in. The Dr. asked me a bunch of development questions, and said she was developmentally advanced for her age. He also confirmed that she is most likely left handed just like daddy. It was really neat today because she wasn't scared of the Dr. at all and co-operated with him.

Golden Compass Movie
I received an email about this and thought it was interesting. Check it out at this link:
http://www.snopes.com/politics/religion/compass.asp
"There will be a new Children's movie out in December called THE GOLDEN COMPASS based on the book called HIS DARK MATERIALS by Phillip Pullman, a proud artist who belongs to secular humanistic societies. He hates C.S. Lewis's Chronicle’s of Narnia and has written a trilogy to show “the other side.” The movie has been dumbed down to fool kids and their parents in the hope that they will buy the book trilogy which Pullman says he wants children to read so they can decide against God and the kingdom of heaven. He was quoted in a 2003 interview as saying “My books are about killing God.” In the end of the trilogy the children kill God and everyone can do as they please. Nicole Kidman stars in the movie so it will probably be heavily marketed. This is just a friendly warning that you are sure not to hear on regular TV. Check out snopes for more information."

Tackle it Tuesday
Today I need to clean out just a couple more things. The bathroom medicine cabinet and the shoe closet. I got the bathroom closet all cleaned out last week. Also I am making some carnival games for sweetpeas party out of cardboard boxes, and I want to get them painted today.
Here is a couple pics of the boxes I got painted:
I let buster paint the back of the ticket booth. I think he did a really great job :)
Pumpkin Patch
We went to the Pumkin Patch on Sunday. Originally we were going to go on Saturday, but it rained all day. First we went to a local fruit stand to pick out a pumpkin. It was super muddy, and the pumpkins did not look very good this year. We have had so much rain. Buster and I found a couple of pumpkins.
After that we went to a really fun patch that has carnival games and rides. The kids had a blast there, and here are some pics.

There is also a real miniature train, but I didn't get any pics of it.

Our Week!
Well I had my regular 24 week ultrasound this morning. Once again our baby girl wasn't very co-operative for pics, but we got a few cute ones. Her size and organs all looked great though. The kids really liked watching the ultrasound. My CNM had me schedule a ultrasound for 36 weeks to check the babies size. Hopefully this one will be a little smaller :)
Buster and I had to go to the regular Dr. today also. We both have a right ear infection, Sweetpea had tonsilitis last week. We all had this terrible cold that has just lasted for weeks, but it seems like mabey now we will be feeling better soon.
The kids have been loving their swimming lessons. Buster was really bummed that we had to skip today. I'm also posting some pics that we had taken this month below the ultrasound pics. I think they turned out great.

Tackle it Tuesday
Well I'm still trying to get my whole house cleaned and decluttered. We did a bunch this weekend. I got the kitchen, pantry, and my bedroom reorginized and cleaned. We even moved all our furniture around in the bedroom so I can put a cradle by my bed side. Today I would like to tackle the bathroom closet and the coat closet. I'll let you know what all I get done.
