10 Weeks to Go!

I am officially 30 weeks pregnant! Praise the Lord we have made it this far! It is hard to believe that we will be a family of five soon. I feel like we have done nothing to prepare for Maisie's arrival. Although, I am sure Clayton would say different! Let's just say that Maisie already has a few clothes.....okay quite a few clothes! Most of them have been purchased at garage sales, second hand stores, given by friends or on sale. So at least I have been frugal! Clayton's only comment has been, "Why is everything pink or purple?" I have been trying to buy a variety of colors for his sake! He is adamant that we have to buy a camo backpack for a diaper bag...I guess I can give in this one time.

I have a lot to do in the next ten weeks including taking Owen's pacifier away, moving Owen into Cael's room, setting up the nursery, buying supplies that didn't make it through the boys or are the wrong color (bottles, pacifiers, burp rags, etc.) and mentally preparing for three kids (if that's even possible). I am sure there is more that I need to do....maybe I should make a list.

Thankful

I thought I would post what the boys are thankful for this Thanksgiving Season.



Owen (He obviously couldn't tell me, so I am going to help him out.)

1. Da Da (He is a BIG Daddy's boy!)

2. Bubba (He loves to go in to wake Cael up in the morning. He likes snuggle with him or smash him, we aren't sure.)

3. His pacifier (Which I need to take away soon!)

4. Bananas

5. Dogs (I have never seen a baby love dogs as much as this kid!)



Cael
1. For all my friends (Jake, Maddy, Canton, Avery, Cora, Heidi, Jeff Guiot, Miss Laura, Mr. Luke, Scarlett, Jake Yates, Miss Jessi (Jessi Bruce), My Camping Friends (Mt. Vernon friends), The Bayless family and all my new friends! Sorry if you do not see your name on the list. I cut him off!

2. For all my shows and movies.

3. Daddy, Mommy, Owen and Maisie

4. My birthday

5. Jesus

Trick or Treat

We had a great time trick or treating. We went to Trunk or Treat , the square and some friends' houses. Then we had to go to a few houses so Cael could ring the doorbells and say , "Trick or Treat."

Fall Fun!

Here are a few pictures of the boys getting ready for Halloween. Cael loved digging the seeds out of the pumpkin but after feeling it once I couldn't get Owen to put his hand back in the pumpkin.
The other pictures are the treats Cael and I made for his buddies at Miss Laura's. The pumpkins have a fall trail mix in them (peanuts, raisins, m&m's and candy corn) the spiders are crackers, pb, pretzels and m&ms.

Cael's Comments

Cael says some pretty funny things! People keep telling me to write them down. I am going to try and remember a few and post them.

"Mom, today at Miss Laura's we watched that movie with Snow White and all those prospectors.....I think it was called Snow White and the Seven Prospectors." Let me explain, Cael has been watching the movie Toy Story and in that movie there is a character called the Prospector. It is an old man with white hair and a long beard who looks a lot like the dwarfs in Snow White.

"Mom today we made erection cookies!" Cael said this to me one day when I picked him up from Miss Laura's. She explained the me that for Easter they had made resurrection cookies!

There are a lot more that I will add later!

Baby # 3 is still a ........GIRL!

We had another ultrasound today and she is still a girl. The ultrasound tech was more sure this time! =) We are excited! Cael has been bugging us to name her Lucky for a couple weeks now. Unfortunately for him, we are not using his suggestion. Her name will be Maisie Kate McCullah (pronounced May-zee)! Maisie is Scottish and means "Child of Light" and Kate is Greek and means "Pure."
