The Dead Snowman.

All year long Adeline has been wanting to build a snowman but as it would happen something always gets in the way. So, when it snowed, wet, packable, perfect snowman snow Sunday night we knew our mission for Monday was to build a snowman. 

Johnny & Addy dressed in their snow gear (John Michael was with my parents on a weekend trip) and headed out to build a snowman.  I was so happy that she finally got her snow dream that I knew I had to snap a couple of pictures.  Here's one of them with the finished product.

I was a little nervous John Michael would come home and be jealous that he didn't get to make a snowman but when he arrived home he didn't mention it at all.  Later that evening we left to go somewhere and I saw, with dismay, that the snowman was in pieces all over the yard. "Oh, how sad! The snowman fell apart!" I said, to which Johnny replied: "No, Addy knocked it down." He explained that the snowman survived for a total of 5 minutes before Addy's next dream became to promptly knock it down.  She's an enigma.

And on the pregnancy front I'm one day shy of 39 weeks.

At the beginning of my pregnancy my first trimester ultrasound gave me a due date of 2/27 but my midwife promptly changed it to 3/3 explaining that she thought 3/3 was more accurate and that I generally go late anyway. So, I've spent the last 6-7 months unsuccessfully convincing myself that I'm due 3/3 and not 2/27... which means that in about 4 days I'm going to think I'm due even though I'm not. And in 14 days I'm going to think I'm 10 days late when I'm really only 6 days late. :) So, I'm completely expecting Greyson to arrive on 3/9... 10 days after my original due date. :)

Meanwhile, I'll stay satisfied on my weird pregnancy indulgence: Wheat Grass!

And how 'bout it? I made an appearance on my own blog twice in one post!
