Mother's Day and Baby Names

So the highlight of the boy's past two weeks was the Primary Activity Night. They did a family movie (the Good Dinosaur) and movie snacks. The boys each ate 2 bags of popcorn and TONS of candy! After, while the adults were cleaning up, the kids played tag... in which Dustin decided to streak across the gym twice. What can I say, we've been having nudity problems since he got potty trained and learned to take off his pants. If I wasn't so embarrassed, it would be pretty funny.

After getting back from being out of town Dustin started having accidents so we upped the bribes. He earned an ice cream party last week for 5 days in a row of no accidents (he got to go to the store to pick a half gallon and sprinkles). This week if he has no accidents, on Friday we'll have a pizza party (probably make your own and we'll pick toppings at the store). We'll see after that if we continue to bribe or if he's back to normal. I long for the day when I don't have to worry about accidents. Or being woke up in the middle of the night (Dustin has sleeps all night for a while now, but I'm really dreading that in the next 3 months...).

Week two of work from home sewing has gone well. The lady who cut the material did it wrong, so it took longer than I would have liked to complete, but next week should go better. It's been a pretty easy way to earn extra money, even if it consumes my free time.

Mother's Day weekend went well. Friday night we asked Dave's parent's if we could stop by and visit and bring Dave's Mom's gift over and they offered to babysit! So Dave and I went out to dinner at Cafe Rio and saw the latest Captain America movie. It wasn't my favorite of the super hero movies, but Dave loved it. And it was really nice to have a break after how busy we have been lately.

Saturday we worked in the yard all morning and Dave worked on a project for me in the afternoon (he made me a necklace for Mother's Day) while the boys and I got work done around the house. I tried out a new gluten free muffin recipe for Mother's Day that turned out FABULOUS! It was supposed to be blueberry muffins, but I did cherry white chocolate chip).

Sunday the boys brought me breakfast in bed, and I got to open my presents. After church we had a casual dinner, naps, and I got to read while the boys played on the tramp with Dave. It was a good, casual day. I didn't clean up, so there was a big mess to clean up Monday morning. 

I slept terrible Sunday night, so Monday I gave up on sleep at 6am. I got the kitchen and bathroom cleaned up and did two loads of laundry (I forgot to start them Friday...). Visited the Dr at 11 (everything looks good). They also did my second Thyroid test and my Glucose test. I'll get the results in the next two weeks, but am expecting everything to be fine.

In other baby related news, we've picked a first name! We're going with Brooklyn Plastow. We're still working on a middle name, but it's nice to have the first name figured out. Since we told the boys Dustin is convinced all babies are named "Bookin". Either that or he insists our baby is Batman. He's holding strong with that one. This second trimester has gone by so fast, I can't believe I'm already 27 out of 40 weeks done! It's pretty nice that by baby 3 there's not a whole lot I need to get done. Right before I will go on another mad cleaning and freezer cooking spree, but for now we're good!
