Little kids at church
I teach the 2 & 3yr old class at my church every week. Over the past couple months I've gone from being able to hold three tiny tots on my lap, to now...hardly even one. The little kids don't seem to understand why they can't all fit on my lap at one time, and often they will make every effort to push my baby belly back into my stomach so they can lean back and be comfortable while I read stories out loud.
Well, this past Sunday, something clicked in their tiny heads and for the first time they seemed to understand that I have a baby inside my stomach and that's why I'm so fat. With their limited vocabulary and curious faces they started asking questions as they gently patted my tummy as they all wanted to say "hi" to the baby.
cute blonde boy "that's a baby?"
cute blonde girl "my mom had a baby in her belly"
cute brown haired boy "I don't see it?"
cute blonde boy "can we see it?"
cute blonde girl "yeah! lets see it" she starts to lift my shirt
Missi "no, you can't see it yet, the babies inside my stomach and is still growing, I'll bring the baby to show you all when he's big enough to come out of my tummy"
During snack time all the kids were quietly munching on their crackers when cute blonde boy decided my baby should have a snack too.
Cute blonde boy:"Missi! feed your baby!"
all the kids turned to look at me as I picked up a cracker and started eating
cute blonde boy: "No! feed your baby!!"
I started laughing as I tried to explain to these 2 and 3 year olds that by me eating the food the baby gets to eat too. I think they were all waiting for me to stick the cracker in my belly button or something.
They all got excited when they could actually see the baby kick from inside of me, and found it very exciting to try and push on my belly to make the baby "dance" agian.
Needless to say it was a very interesting class on sunday. Our bible story was about Mary having baby Jesus...I told the kids that Mary looked a lot like me and they all thought that was very funny:)

Cutting down our Christmas Tree
I couldn't wait for Saturday to arrive. JB and I had planned to go and get our Christmas tree and I was going to decorate our house for Christmas! This would be my first time to go out in the woods and find us a tree to chop down ourselves and bring home. I must admit I was slightly nervous about doing this ourselves. However, JB wasn't the least concerned and so away we drove.
We pulled up to the tree farm and were promptly handed a saw and pointed in the right direction. Then out of the car we got and searched and searched the grounds for the perfect tree. At last it was found. I figured I'd have to help JB in some way, I once tried to cut a small tree down with a saw and it was the worst/hardest experiance of my life. But nope, JB got down, sawed away and before I had time to waddle over to help hold the tree "Ta Da!" it was done. He grabbed it with one hand and hauled it to our car.
I was speechless! It didn't take any effort at all! My big muscle man *flittering eyes*
At any rate...I wish I had brought my camecorder with me to docoment the exciting occasion, but alas...it didn't cross my mind til later. Still without a regular camera I'm afraid I'll have to wait til after Christmas to post pictures of our adorable home. Everything looks lovely and I'm totally in the mood for Christmas now.
Hmm...I think I shall wrap more presents today!

Its a quiet day
It is a quiet day at work this morning. I'm working on some projects and taking my time to make sure I get everything done right. I'm kind of spacy today and I'm worried I'll spend all day working on something only to realize I've messed it up. Don't you hate it when that happens?
Last night there was a Christmas Party for JB's work. It was fun to go out and chat with lots of people and eat yummy food. It makes me wish I had the space and energy to throw a fun Christmas party for all my friends. Maybe next year we'll do that:)
The weather lady says today is suppose to be our one sunny day for the week...haven't seen that sun yet, I hope it does peak out later.
Only 49 days left til I'm at the end of my pregnancy, woohoo!

Random info on my life
Last Thursday the women in my church threw me a huge baby shower! I didn't even know so many ladies in my church knew who I was, let alone loved me enough to come and shower me with presents!
I love parties, I love presents and I love being the center of attention. So, needless to say, I had a BLAST at my party. I got more items then I ever dreamed of owning for this child and I am now at a loss for where to store everything I have gotten.
J rearranged a lot of his boxes that we have in our closests/storage and got rid of lots of stuff that he no longer needs/uses. That cleared up some space for me to store some blankets and big baby items, but I'm still finding myself at a loss for properly organizing everything we now own. I am thinking I need to take a trip to the "container store" and buy some things to help me be more organized. Now doesn't that sound like fun?
Yesterday, at church, I was given even more items for my baby including a little baby bath tub.
Most all the ladies at my shower think that I'll be having a baby boy, and some even went as far as to just buy me some baby boy clothes:) lol!
I went and saw "The Nativity" with some friends last night. If I were directing the film it would definatly be more dramatic then what I saw on screen. The nativity story is so powerful and so amazing, in my mind I had imagine many of the scenes going very different then how they were presented in the film (i.e. the angel coming to mary...the angel coming to the shepards, etc). While I'm being a film critic, I'll also add that if I were the one casting the film I'd also find a Mary who had more of a personality (or at least more then two facial expressions) and didn't look so sober all the time. However, overall it was a good film and I did liked it.
I guess I will end with that. It's raining today:)
