Hurst Family News

So much for my blog every day goal.   Oh well.  Life happens.  On the housing front: waiting.  I'll let ya know. On the kid front: all sleeping.  Charlie didn't want to be put down at ALL today but he's kinda cooperating at the moment.  Wish I could get a nap in though. (Watch, as soon as I hit post one or all 3 kids will magically wake up and that 3 minute nap I was hoping for will vanish...) On the crafty front: we made puppets today but the boys don't totally get the idea of acting out a story so I told them to try just telling a story... we'll see.  Pretty cute to see them get so excited though.  We're going to have to make more puppets.... I just need to get more felt first- a task not so easy given my limited resources.  I think we need to get a tension rod for the doorway too so they can have a curtain to hide behind, like the wizard in the Wizard of Oz...everything is more magical that way.  The cardboard box they are curre...

A DELUGE  of pictures: First up we have this sweet boy's first birthday.   (No this one is NOT mine- he's my nephew--isn't he cute though?) I love that he has brown eyes and hope perhaps his little cousin will too.   This one is for Great Uncle Mike (and all other Uncle Mikes).   The tradition continues.  Peek-A-Boo  (Yes the picture IS turned the right way- Lando is sticking his head out the back of the stroller after which he promptly announced "See Me?!") Blue Icing makes for blue fingers and mouths: Silly Grandpa (See where the boy children get it from?) Look! Look! I finished Wee #3's Blankie:  With apparently at least a week to spare... Here are some of his friends waiting for him: (Ian loves the bear and Lando loves the giraffe- wonder what baby boy Hurst will choose) Now, I am well aware that this one is not a great photo.   However, if you look closely you can see a hidden message quilted into the green and navy blu...

I should probably go to bed seeing as I'm feeling a but grumpy but eh- why?  So first update: the one I know you guys are dying for.... no baby yet.  Only at a 2 so no membrane stripping yet either to get the party started.  (TMI? Eh. My blog.) Kind of frustrated about the whole thing.  I'm losing patience and starting to worry that my umph for labor is waning.   Want to meet this kiddo.  Want to NOT be pregnant anymore.  Would rather hold him in my ARMS than in my belly.  Kind of getting sick of pregnancy talk.  Mostly in relation to "When are you due?" uh yesterday "Man you really ARE bigger now than before." gee thanks.  I feel as big as a whale.  Glad you noticed. Have you seen my new and improved WADDLE too? FYI: talk in relation to size when pregnant is not usually appreciated.  In my opinion, not really appreciated in any circumstance unless referred to by me first.  Which I don't refer to.  People are so mu...
