A Funny Story
On Monday afternoon, Lucy and I decided to bake some corn bread. I got everything out and we started to put the ingredients together. I told her "we need to find the 1/4 cup". Lucy bent over the basket I keep the measuring cups in so I bent over to look in the basket with her, at that exact moment she pulls out a measuring cup, a metal measuring cup, and that little girl is stronger than you think. So yes, she clocked me in the nose with the metal measuring cup. I just got home from the doctor's office which is where I went to find out if my nose is broken. Good news, it's not, it is just a bit swollen and sore.
That is my funny story for today. I have a slightly swollen, bruised, sore nose.

A Perfect Sunday Afternoon
We took a nap:
Then we did some cooking:
Lucy helps like I do; we are best at supervising. :) She picked a measuring cup out and decided she wanted to have some milk in it. She is so cute! Recently she has started pretending. Before he asked for milk in her measuring cup she was pretend drinking out of it. She also likes to feed her dolls and she has actual "conversations" when she pretend talks on the phone. When there is a real voice on the other end she still tends to clam up.
She also talks about people when they aren't around, I like to see her remembering. She talks a lot about Grandma, BobBob, Molly, Uncle Jim, Aunt Julie, Big Dee, Linda, Pam, and of course Kim and Oma. She wants to call these people constantly, and she always asks me if they will be at the Diner. By the way, if someone isn't at our house our with us at a particular moment they are at work. Lucy knows a lot of hard working people and I think she thinks they all work at the Oil Company just like Daddy, Kim, Oma and Grandpa do. Really a good portion of the people she knows work at the Oil Company, so therefore that is where everyone works right?
I weighed Lucy yesterday and she still weighs 20.5 pounds. She really feels like a lot more than that!!! Plus she eats nonstop so I was surprised she hasn't gained any weight. I was complaining about our grocery bill this morning and Dave reminded me that soon we will have another mouth to feed. I however reminded him that for the first 6 months give or take, the baby's food won't cost anything, yeah for breastfeeding!!
In other baby news I don't have much to report. My pottery friends, who hadn't seen me for two weeks, said I am definitely getting bigger. Which is the same thing Aunt Joyce said yesterday, Aunt Pam just stared at my giant belly. :) Baby Brother is definitely growing and getting stronger, Dave can feel him sometimes now. One really weird feeling thing I had forgotten about but was reminded of this week, once the baby gets a bit bigger (like now) you can feel him jump, or do a jig or whatever it is he is doing in there, right directly on my bladder. A very weird, not painful but certainly not good feeling.
Oh, my belly button is getting shallower, I am thinking it will probably pop out this time since I am so big and I still have a little over 3 months to go. I am rather nervous about that, belly button that is. :) Also, my sciatica is really acting up. I could barely move on Friday because on Thursday i had done some yard work and then went to pottery class and threw a few things (when you throw you sit at a low stool and bend over the potter's wheel). So I guess I am done with most yard work (yeah!) and with throwing at pottery. :( At least I can still work at a table and hand build, I would be very depressed to have to give up pottery.
I have written a lot, I hope that makes up for the gap since my last post!

I did it!
I finished the rug for the baby's room!
I am so excited about it! This is a lucky baby, I never made anything for Lucy while I was pregnant. Well, I tried to make her a sweater but it did not work out. :)
Because I had the camera out Lucy had to have her picture taken too. I tried to take my picture quick but she sensed photos be taken and came running.
Thank you Aunt Grace for teaching me how to make the rug and thank you Aunt Linda for giving me the canvas to make it on! I know I said this before but rug hooking is the best craft ever! This rug was so quick and easy to make! Thank you aunties!

Trick-or-Treating
We trick and treated our way around town last night. We had a great time, Lucy and I both crashed as soon as we got home. We went to a total of 5 houses and were out for about 3 hours.
First we went to Granny's house. Lucy was a little scared of Granny in the dark with the hat on. Once the lights were on and she was sure it was Granny she was fine.
A picture if me in my costume. I wore Granny's hat for most the of the night because my horns fell off. I was just too good for them. ;)
Daddy even got into the Halloween spirit and wore Granny's hat for a bit.
Next we went to Oma and Grandpa's house.
Then to the Hansen's. Aunt Linda gave Lucy a Magna Doodle which she loves! She likes to scribble something, or have you scribble something, then slide the thing across to erase it. You can't see Lucy's face in this picture but that is kind of why i like it. her hat was a bit big for her so most of the night you couldn't see her face and when she looked up it would fall off.
Lucy thought the girls were sooo funny. She kept fake laughing at them to make them laugh.
Next we were on to Ganny and Poppa's house. Lucy kindly let Ganny try on her hat.
Then she made both of them play matchbox cars with her. Here is a picture of her playing with Poppa.
Last we stopped around the corner from our house to visit Ganny's friend Harriet and Harriet's daughter Darlene. I forgot to take my camera in there. :( Lucy finally said "trick-or-treat" to Harriet and Darlene. All night she would say it over and over int he car but stay mum when we got to someone's house. I couldn't even get her to say it on camera. :( She was saying "Happy ween" too!
Once we got home we all changed into jammies and hung out for a little bit to let Lucy unwind before bed. Once she went to bed she went right to sleep and I fell asleep while Dave was putting her to bed. Trick-or-treating is hard work!
Today Dave had to work so Lucy and I invited ourselves along to a craft fair with the Aunties. It was a really good fair too! They had a combination of antiques and crafts. I got this hideously awesome turkey platter for Dave.
It sure is something isn't it?!?!? I am actually excited to take down the Halloween decorations so that I can find a prominent spot to display that thing! I am really enjoying Dave's attraction to really ugly fowl decorations, so much so that he has cut me off from buying him any more unless they are really really ugly, like this tray. :)
I think the rest of tonight and tomorrow will be spent chilling at home and maybe grocery shopping.

Happy Halloween!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!
Somewhat surprisingly, Lucy happily put on her costume this morning. She wore it to the office and the Diner. Tonight we will be doing a wee bit of trick-o-treating.

My Daughter is a genius...
(Yes that is the dictionary she is reading!)
Then again, maybe she isn't...
She is the cutest darn thing! Lucy's vocabulary and pronunciation improve daily; today she decided that she can clearly say "eat" instead of the whiny "eee" she was saying. The biggest accomplishment is that she can now correctly identify some of her colors! If you ask her what color something is she is usually wrong but if she points to something and tells you what color it is on her own she gets it right a good amount of the time. She is also really into being "helpful". She puts things in the garbage herself, she wants to fold and put away clothes, she wants to carry things herself, etc. More helpfully though she has started helping pick up her toys! just a little bit of course but its a start.
That's it from me for now, I want to go watch Barack's infomercial!
It's over and my video is now done loading so I can post this. I don't want to get into politics but I have to say he is a much better speaker than our current president. I don't think he said "uh" or "um" once and I don't think he mispronounced a single word!
