Busy, Busy Weekend

We have a busy, busy weekend ahead of us. It is the start of the neverending Baseball Season. Colby's tournaments start this weekend. Tonight Colby has practice. I'm going to hang out with my baseball mom friends. Tomorrow Colby has a 9am game and I have a 10am dentist appt. We'll all head BACK to Grapevine for Colby's 1pm game. I just found out about a surprise b-day party tomorrow at 5:30. I'm not sure if we'll make that.

Then, tomorrow evening, my sister-in-law, Haylee and I are heading to Divine Cosign, which is a huge baby consignment sale. We actually get to go to the First Time Mom's pre-sale. I'm super excited. Although we don't know the gender yet, I can at least look for some things that are gender neutral. I'm not really looking for clothes. I'm more looking for the gizmos and gadets Baby Hopper will need. In other baby news, we had the name discussion again last night. Boy this is going to be hard. I thought we had made some progress the last time we talked names, but we are pretty much back at square one. I have a boy name that I like and he has a boy name that he likes. Neither one of us are crazy about the other's. Then there is a boy name that we both like, but isn't our #1 choice. Girl names.....is pretty much the same way. I'm 99% sure we already have the middle name for either one down.

Jason is making a lot of progress on his Beetle. My guess is it will be close to complete within the next month. I really hope I'm right. I'm ready for that thing to be FINISHED and I'm pretty sure Jason is ready for it to be done, too.

Other than baseball, babies, and the beetle, not much else is going on. We are planning a camping trip with several friends for the first weekend of spring break. Yes, I will be camping when I'm 5 months pregnant. LOL!

Dallas Snowpocalypse 2010

Snow started falling early in the morning on Thursday, Feb 11th. I think it began falling around 2am. No, I wasn't actually awake, but that is what the oh so trusty weatherman said. (Actually, I probably was awake either readjusting my pillows to get comfortable or to empty the ole bladder that happens numerous times a night.) Alarm clock goes off at 6:20 for Jason to get up. I usually try to sleep for another 10-15 minutes, but I decided to turn on the news. Within 10 minutes of watching they announce that our school district has closed for the day. Not really sure why they did bc it wasn't that bad out. Jason and I both went on to work. It snowed ALL.DAY.LONG. I swear it was like I was teleported to Colorado or something. The flakes were HUGE.Jason's work closed early...around 315. I could hear my bosses at the end of the hall making calls to our branches advising them of procedures for the morning. The procedures - be at work on time. Sad, but true. I was told that b/c I wasn't 'essential staff' I could come in when I felt it was safe. I took my laptop home so I could do a few things that I needed to get done before 10am. The snow continued to fall and was still falling when I went to bed at 9pm. It was soooo pretty. DFW airport got 12.5" of snow. We don't live far from DFW airport, but my guesstimation is we got right around 9". The boys had an absolute blast playing in all of the snow. I think they changed clothes 3 times yesterday and went through 15 pairs of socks. Guess who is folding the laundry basket today........the boys! HAHA! Their school along with probably EVERY OTHER school in DFW is closed today, so they are enjoying a snow day with Dad. Colby was supposed to have a baseball tournament this week, but it obviously has been cancelled. (I'm secretly excited about this!) Below are a few pics from my phone.

Colby's snow man - with a mouth made of beer caps and pennies. Really? It isn't like we didn't have oreos or fruit snacks or SOMETHING else in the house besides BEER CAPS?!? LOL!

Text Conversation with Jason

I'm at work while Jason and the boys are enjoying a snow day at home. I'm sitting at work and my back is seriously killing me, so I decided to let Jason know. LOL!

Me: O-M-G....My back hurts sooooo bad!!!
Jason: Sorry baby. I can rub it when you get home.
An hour later.....he responds:
Jason: This will make your back feel better......You might have to sit down for this.......... (with a lot of space in b/w this).......................................... I'm doing laundry!!!!

I literally busted out laughing! I honestly don't mind doing laundry. I know, I'm strange, very strange, but I'm thankful J is helping on his rare weekday off.
