* Katelynn asked me, "Mommy, Why did the chicken cross the road?"

 Me: I don't know, Why did the chicken cross the road?

 Katelynn: Because he wasn't there! (Busting up Laughing)

I know this doesn't make sense but this was her first ever joke, I was laughing since it was cute and silly. 

* We made it out to the balloon Festival on Saturday. I told Katelynn on Friday we were going and I would wake her up when it was still dark. So, as I was leaving her room from kissing her goodnight she said, "Ok Mommy, I'll see you at the stroke of Midnight." Ha, my little Cinderella fan. Not quite that early!

* We had a good time and hung out with Aunt Sarah and Max and Jesse and ate a yummy cinnamon roll.

* We sat next to this balloon and it was a good thing we did since it was the first one up in the air, but it didn't seem like it was going to be when we sat down. Saturday morning the balloons went up without a hitch, Sunday they couldn't lift off since it was too windy.

* Saturday evening a rainstorm rolled through that wasn't forecasted and made Sunday out to be a GORGEOUS day. we had the windows open all day and ended up eating our BBQ rib, hot dog and mashed potato and asparagus dinner outside. I can handle more of this weather.

* Now for some Grand News on this old Blog. (The five of you that read this blog already know this) We are going to have one Moore Baby. This little bundle will be joining our family in March. We are very excited. I am the nervous one that can't wait till this little bean is safe in my arms.

* I had my 12 week appointment and the Dr has a little hand held ultrasound machine that he uses and so I got to see the baby and boy was he or she moving and a grooving. I loved to see all the body parts starting to function. He/she put on a nice little show and even waved hello.

* 12 weeks

* I had my first call from school this week. Katelynn wasn't feeling good and so I went and picked her up and as soon as I put her in the car she puked. It wasn't all over everything but it was of course horribly gross. I could barely keep myself from puking. So, we don't really know what happened since she only threw up twice and no one else got sick, the next day she was spiking a fever but was absolutely fine by Friday.

* Mark somewhere along the way ended up with a cold too.

* I went to Beth's on Friday night and did some catch up with my scrapbooking which always makes me feel happy.

* We spent some time at Grandma and Grandpa B's on Friday and Grandma had to air up the tires on the bike and the kids thought that was so cool.

* Life is getting the best of me and I have days now where I don't turn my computer on. That is pretty amazing for me since I crave that time at the end of the day to veg out and do somethings I want. 

* Katelynn got a new little toy puppy from Grandma Mary and has named it Princess Poppyseed. It took me a day to figure out where I had heard that name before, it is from Veggie Tales Princess and The Popstar.

* Mark loves to point out every single big truck or bus that he sees as we are outside. 

* We went over to Grandma and Grandpa B's to help them rearrange their furniture and ended up vacuuming some 15 years worth of dust from behind the couches and finding OLD JcPenny, Best, and Sears catalogs where you could buy a cd walkman for $250. 

* When we finished up cleaning Mark decided to take apart Grandma's vacuum and removed to hose attachment and started pointing it around like a gun. It was so hilarious. He has the stance the eye squint and even moved, crouched, and made a spitting noise like a gun. Grandma was dying laughing as was I since I have no idea where he has seen any of this. (No it isn't from Ben's games, Mark couldn't gather those details from what he can see on the screen.) Now he'll use his whole hand and point it like a gun while making a spitting noise.
It really is amazing to see Katelynn as such a princess and Mark into cars, trucks and guns. 

* We went swimming with Happy Maddie and at the end Marky was getting a little daring and jumping into the deep end without his floaty on. I was right there to catch him but he was being silly.

* Mark turned 2 this week and we had a dinner with cake and ice cream on Friday night with those that were in town. it was fun. I was toast the next day. I didn't do anything extravagant for the party, but I was just spent the next day.

* Mark finally had his first speech therapy session on Friday and it went well. I have to stop giving him what he want with grunts and he has to learn that he needs to tell me what he wants. We have started using a few more signs with him like please, help, more, eat. He says about six or seven words constantly like no and mama.

* Mark fell and hit his head on the tile floor from standing on the kitchen chair and it made a pretty good welt on his ear. He wasn't acting like himself after it so I took him to the ER and by the time we got there he was just fine so we gave him something to eat and if he didn't vomit we could go. He didn't. I just don't like head injuries and I didn't want to take a chance that something was wrong and I didn't do anything.

* Preschool went so much better this week. Katelynn knows what is expected of her more and what happens during the day. And the teacher and I are learning more about what sets her off. Like noise. I know that she doesn't like things to get too loud but I didn't think to tell the teacher about it. She does like going so that is good.
