Candy corns....





I am really trying to do Christmas activities with the kids. It is hard because I feel so crapy half the time that it is such a big deal but today we made candy cane cookies. Ellie called them candy corns. They had a great time and we ended up eating most the dough because it was so good then the kids just played with it like playdough!

Pictures of the kids




I don't get my kids pictures taken very often probably because I am so cheap. It kills me to spend $80 on a package when you only get one setting and you get like 500 pictures. You end up with all the pictures left over and it is just a waste! I wait until Target has their sheets for $3.99 plus you get a free 8X10 then I got an extra 8X10 so I spent like $15.00!! Then it is such a huge deal. The last pictures I have of Kale, he is crying because he didn't want his picture taken. This time thankfully he did so
well. He went right in and was ready.
This time it was Ellie who didn't want her picture taken.
She is sitting on my lap in her picture and the one with th kids together, is the only one that turned out! But I think they turned out pretty good.
Update on my pregnancy the countdown has begun!!!! Halleluyah!! In a week and a half we are scheduling an induction for probably right after Christmas. I am so ready. I am so uncomfortable and HUGE. I can't do anything without getting winded and light headed and have to sit down! My blood sugar was high when I did my test but thankfully I didn't have to take the second test because it was high with my other 2 pregnancies so the doctor just told me to watch what I eat. It is weird because Nate was diagnost with Type 1 diabetes this year and I have huge babies but have not officially been diagnosed with gestational diabetes but who knows if they are all linked. But man I can tell when my blood sugar is too high because I get so light headed and feel like I am going to faint. So anyway baby is coming soon and mom is happy! Can't wait to fit back into my jeans and work out!!!
