Creativity



Well, pumpkin time is here. So we brought home a big ol pumpkin and set Abby to decorating it. I gave her some paint, expecting that she would paint the jack o lantern face, and then I would cut out the shapes. Well, she did her own thing and it is so cool! She covered the entire pumpkin with colourful paint, and then asked for glitter to sprinkle over it. It is so neat what kids will come up with when they are not jaded by what a halloween pumpkin is "supposed" to look like. I think most of us become adults and forget about real creativity. At least, I have...

I am going to try to post a few pictures here, hopefully it works. One is Abby with her pumpkin, and another showcases my enormous inflated size. Baby is still not here yet, and I am getting even bigger than I was with Abby - I did not make it this far along with her. So here it is, have a good laugh. I just might have to join my exercise fanatic sisters in their butter boycott after this is all said and done...

Your belly is GREAT! I went 2 1/2 weeks longer with Lindsay then I did with Ben - so I know how your feeling...ready to explode.
Good luck w/ the natural birth experience - that was my intention with Ben until EVERYTHING went wrong - and then with Lindsay I said screw it and took the drugs. Can't wait to see baby pictures... how exciting!!! November babies are the best (speaking personally).
