A few things.....

Random post number........? Not any one big thing has been going on in our house lately, but there have been a lot of random things going through my mind lately, so I'll fill you in!!

1...Pila's mom has been visiting us for the past few weeks from New Zealand. It has been really fun having her stay with us for so long, she has been extremely helpful with everything, and the kids have especially loved it because she does most of their jobs. She went back to NZ today, and we will miss her.

2...Ofeina got a cold last week and has passed it around to the rest of the family, we are in the "coughing" stage right now. Most of you know that when you're 33 weeks pregnant with a cough.....it's not good.

3...Mana found a bowling set that Misi got for Christmas last year, he is now completely obsessed. Instead of watching Yo Gabba Gabba videos on youtube, these days he's watching "bowling how to videos" Instead of walking Mana usually runs, or dances around the house singing his ABC's. Someday I'm going to figure out how to post a video to this blog because his dancing is pretty hillarious!!

4...Ami has been learning some very naughty words at school lately, unfortunately the boy that is teaching him these words is one of his "best friends" and lives about a block away. What do you do when your 6year old comes home and says "mom, what does s#^% mean?" (that is a slighty milder word than he learned a few weeks ago) we've told him he can't play with him anymore, but the boy still comes over almost everyday to ask if Ami can play. Definitely one of the disadvantages of not living in a small Utah town:)

5...I am definitely in the nesting stage and once the idea was planted in my head (thank you Pila) I'm dying to strip our couches down and reupholster them, paint a few walls, and get some sewing done for this little lady. This poor girl, I have really been procrastinating things with her because I know if I get her clothes out or bed out Ofeina will be going through her clothes oohing and ahhing over them multiple times a day, and Mana will be jumping all over her bed, and most likely try to take it over. Then I have to think to myself, the reality of the situation is we only have 6-7 weeks to get this done!! (i'm also loving the fact that I can feel her little bum, foot, or head poking out in my stomach at times) Did I mention that Pila's week long spring break is the week before I'm due? PERFECT TIMING!!......(hopefully)

6...Pila is extremely busy with school, bishopric, rugby, and us. 5 more months of classroom time then he'll be on to rotations, we can't wait. Although we have heard that with this hospital he's doing his rotation through he'll be even busier!! But the light is bright at the end of the tunnel and we're focused on that!!

Other than this and a few other random things running through my head, the weather is getting warmer, we get to spend a few hours outside after school, sitting in the sun eating popsicles. I'm even tempted to fix the flat tire on our double stroller and start walking the kids home from school, although I think that will wait a few more weeks so it doesn't put me into early labor.
