This and That

This is something Jamie made at school this week. She wore her space helmet out of the school and made the rocket go, too. She has a "shhh" noise that goes with it. I haven't seen her more proud of any of her other art work from school. So I was able to snap a picture of her without it "going" and then it had to blast off...

Then while Jamie was running her rocket through the house today, Mazie was reading. Does anyone remember Dick and Jane from elementary school? Gramma had bought Mazie this book of Dick and Jane stories for her birthday. We have recently remembered it and Mazie loves the book. She can sit and read it without help. This is a big deal when you are just beginning to read. She loves that she doesn't need help, as most of you can imagine. She also loves to read to Jamie. Of course, Jamie doesn't mind the attention from Mazie.

Also, last week, I had three people ask me how many babies I was having. I know I am huge but really. Do people think that they are entitled to give me their opinion on MY pregnancy whenever they feel like speaking? One was a woman at the BX. She said, "Goodness when are you due?" I told her how many days I had left and she said, "No, she will be coming this weekend!" I just smiled and went about my shopping. Another one was an elderly couple at the commissary. Now, usually older people tend to speak their mind regardless of what comes out but asking a complete stranger if she is having multiple babies is a little out there, don't you think?

This only happened one time during my pregnancy with Jamie. I was at the Farmer's Market and a hippie-like man came up to me and said, "You've got a beautiful thing going on there". I just gave him the peace sign and kept walking. It must be California. What do all of you think?

Also if anyone is correct with Jacob's weight (or the closest one) there is a treat in it for you. I will disclose that when we have a winner! So you have until March 26 to leave your guess below on his weight.
