Fun Things

It's been warming up around here, well for the most part. We have been enjoying a few fun things. The girls have loved riding their bikes, especially through the puddles.
Finally all of our snow is gone! We are getting ready to start seeds this week for peppers and tomatoes. And we discovered our mole problems have gotten worse, they ate all the roots off our apple tree. I am now even more determined to poison those suckers!
We got the basement painted!!! We just have a few more little things to do including prepping the floor then we will be ready for carpet. We are hoping the end of next week or beginning of the week after, depending on Chad's schedule. We still have to order in the carpet for the living room since they didn't have enough in stock, so it will be a few weeks before that gets in. The girls have already started moving things to their closets and we hung up the curtains and stuff. I am so excited! I think Kaite is the most excited out of everyone, I think she would move in there now without carpet if we let her!
We spent last weekend with George before he left. We went and saw Hunger Games. I enjoyed it more than the book and Ky loved it. I thought it was well done and the actors were good. I am not a fan of that post apocalyptic stuff, but it was a good movie. We all said goodbye to George and he left for SC on Tuesday. It is sad that we won't be seeing him for like a year. I think we have all gotten use to having him around at least every couple of months. Kami was really sad when she realized he was gone, she said "but I wanted to give him another hug". She is such a sweetie.
Kami has really gotten into her V-reader and preschool computer program lately. She loves to go sit on my bed and play.
I took Kaite to the orthodontist two weeks ago. It turns out her jaw angle is worse than Ash's but Kaite's is a lower angle problem which is much easier to treat. She will need headgear just like Ash but the neck kind. He wants to start her ASAP, but I think we will wait until after her B-day. I don't think I can handle all that right now with the baby on the way, plus it will help if she is a little more responsible!
I had my appointment last week and I am measuring right on, Ky says I look small for me though. I did get lectured on the preterm labor symptoms again. Ky says did you tell them you will be in everyday if you do what they say! Seriously, I am feeling so much better though. I had no idea how crappy I was feeling because of the iron deficiency. I think almost all of the things that were bothering me are gone. My contractions have gotten better too and I haven't had any real bad labor scares since I started taking the pills. I really don't like to take them. I have to watch my diet so close and with my heartburn it can be tricky.
The baby is growing so big and strong. She has found my tender spot on my tummy and sure likes to kick it, and she found my bladder! We are so excited for her and I am so excited to be done!

I heard something interesting on the news the other day, they say 33 is the happiest age. I guess I will find out real soon if that is true!
