It is girls gone wild weekend here at the house. Taylor is in New Jersey/Pennsylvania with his family for Uncle Norman's 90th birthday party. I'm grounded (the doctor won't let me go that far at this point) so that leaves me home alone with Grace and Liz and the baby-who for the purpose of a girls weekend, we're assuming is a girl. I had lots of big plans for the weekend, but I've been a little lazier than I initially planned. I did tear apart the upstairs and do some cleaning, but then I watched some serious food network. I think they will all rush back a little earlier than they normally might today because of the football game (fill in your name: the Bleadsoe Back-up Bowl, the Duel in Dallas...), so I figure I have until about 3 or 4 before the family descends on the apartment.

I did go check on the statues of the house yesterday. No, we haven't signed our final paperwork yet, but they have started building. We have a foundation now and some really big stacks of wood. We had a rainy week, so it looks like they didn't really get anything done. Still, it looks like January might be time for the big Mac move across the street (literally the house is like half a mile from the apartment-just across the road). Here's a photo of the hole:

I've been a crummy blogger lately. This is somewhat ironic, because I now read Alexander's blog from France and know how annoying it is to check everyday and have someone not post. It started that I was obscenely busy at work with Reunion Weekend. Then, I was exhausted from working so much and I was too tired to write, then it all just seemed like there was too much to say so I didn't say anything. Sorry kids. Here are some of the highlights of the last month or so:

• Cassie got a new job and left me. Thursday was her last day-but I'm pretending she is just on vacation. Healthy, I'm sure...
• I bought the Ocean Wonders for the crib that I wanted last weekend at a yard sale. Instead of paying $35 I paid $2! I was so excited! We went out and got batteries on the spot. I'm not really a yard sale person, but baby stuff is so expensive for things they use for just a few months. I'm trying to be all about the recycling! I guess I'm going green!
• We're starting to look for a new car. I totally have picked out a boy car. It literally doesn't come in any colors but shades of gray, black, white, and ORANGE! We might need to rethink this.
• We have baby classes next weekend. That should be terrifying.
• Speaking of baby, all is well. We went to see the doctor on Thursday and all is well. Kiddo weighs about 3.5 to 4 pounds already and should gain about a half a pound or so a week until birth-which is still 7 weeks away!
• I'm totally a fan of Trot Nixon!!
• It is a cool New England Weekend-I think I'll make some good comfort food for dinner-lasagna or baked mac and cheese or something great like that!
• They've extended the year of a million dreams at Disney so Baby Mac can get her chance to visit and celebrate. Maybe she'll be able to save Little Red!
• This is probably my last weekend in my football jersey. Alexander was making fun of me last weekend from Paris because it is so snug. It's a kid's jersey! It wasn't made for a knocked up 10 year old! And seriously, can someone watching a football game via a webcam really throw stones?
• Last night was the black tie dinner at my old job. I've never been so depressed about not working at an event. I miss that job so much!
• Does the world really need Bobby Flay? Couldn't we just have extra time with Tyler Florence?
• My hair is so long right now-it is driving me crazy! I'm trying to make sure all of my layers fit into a ponytail and I'm finally there now. Long layers tucked behind your ear just don't seem like something worth having to fuss over while pushing.
• Still enjoying the yummy apples from our apple picking trip with Jenny a few weeks ago. Here are a few pictures from the day:

Hope you all have a great weekend! I'll try to be a better blogger!
