I went to the chiropractor this morning. Much needed, it had been 3 weeks and I've been used to going every 2 weeks so my back was really screaming for it today. I also had an ultrasound today and we scheduled the c-section. It's so exciting to have an official day to count down to!! Dr. J says he's 3lb 14oz. Right on target!
After that I went to the boys school and checked the Skunk out for a lil lunch date. I want to do this with each of my boys more often, in fact more like once a month. I came across this pin and this pin on Pinterest that inspired me. One mother has written in letter form what her expectations are for her son when he starts dating. I love this letter! Also, she started taking her boys on dates when they were very young with the whole purpose of teaching them how to date. The other mother remembers her dad taking her on his lap and validating who she is by talking about her talents and putting a letter on each of her fingers that stood for each thing she was good at. I loved these ideas!! Besides, I only have m'boys for so long before they are grown men on their own. I want these times and memories with them. So anyway, Skunk was so confused when he came to the office. As we walked outside I told him that the reason I was checking him out of school was so we could go on a lunch date and I told him he could pick anywhere he wanted to go for lunch. He picked Chili's so off we went! I'm sure I was being overly sentimental about the whole thing and to him it was probably just a fun lunch with mom. But I couldn't help but ponder on how he is no longer going to be just the lil' brother. He is going to be a big brother and that is something BIG for him. He is excited about it and we talked about how things will change and how I will need his help. He looks forward to it and seems to have no concerns. I know there will be days though that he will want to send this baby packing, but that's normal.
I think it's funny that we went to Chili's so he could order a corn dog... the truth is he loves the endless chips and salsa. Which we completely stuffed ourselves with.
After lunch we went to pick Bug up from school. I plan on taking him to lunch next week for our one on one date. We ran out to Big 5 and purchased some new snow boots for Skunk. I can't believe the ones I purchased for him a month and a half ago fell apart already! Then we hurried home to start homework before we had to get up to the ski resort for their first ski lessons.
They got all their nice new coats, snow pants, gloves, helmet and goggles for Christmas just for this. They have been so excited for this day to come, it's been like a Christmas count down.
After I took a few shots of them for the first half hour then I headed over to my in-laws house and hung out with my FIL One-Eye. We chatted a bit and started to watch 42. I was loving it so he lent it to me so I could finish it at home with Twinkie. I got back to the resort 20 minutes before the lessons were finished for the night. I could not believe my eyes! M'boys were skiing and fast too! They were just having a blast. I guess next week they will even get to ride the real ski lift and come down a bigger mountain! CRAZY!! It makes me excited to get out there with them next winter when I'm not so preggo. M'boys will have 4 more lessons this winter. I can't wait to see them go, go, go! This is one proud mama!
When we got home Bug and Skunk helped Twinkie with shoveling the snow. They were in charge of our massive deck. Then we had dinner, finished homework and had prayers and into bed. This is the first night in a long long long long long long LONG time since they have gone to bed and there was not talking or whispering or giggling. They were out as soon as their heads hit the pillow!! AWESOME!!
