Super Jeffrey!

My son has become obsessed with Spiderman. He is "Spiderman" all day and fighting bad guys constantly! (And he wants me to play the bad guys so he can shoot me with his spiderweb!) lol
I was planning an Angry Birds birthday for his 4th birthday, but he changed his mind and wanted a Spiderman cake. So...I changed the whole birthday idea to Spiderman/superhero theme. Should be a lot of fun! I have so many ideas now and am excited to plan this party. (:  I am going to make capes for all the kids that come over, and so I started today to make Jeffrey's cape and see how it came out.
I am quite proud of myself...and it did not take that much time at all! Here is Jeffrey's superhero cape! 

Pretty cool, huh!? (:  I also made most of the appliques that I would need to make the other capes for the other kids names. I am gonna have most of this stuff done way before the party which means less stress for me and more time for me to plan Lily's 2nd birthday that would take place a week later! lol YAY ME! (:
Here are the links I used to make the cape and the superhero monogrammed appliques:

13 weeks with baby #3

So far I am feeling pretty good. I feel like I am ALWAYS hungry and I swear I think I already feel the baby moving! (It seems too early for that?) But it is my third little peanut, so maybe I am just more sensitive to the movement now. (: This week the fingerprints have formed on the baby's tiny fingertips.

Since the last week or so I have been sleeping better, the few weeks prior I was having trouble with it. ): I assume it has to do with the enlarged thyroid in my neck that the Dr. found at my first prenatal visit. (That and that I have a growing baby inside me!) I am just happy that I can sleep a little better, especially how tired I have been feeling.
We also got our appointment set up for next month to find out the sex of the baby! So excited! Jeff and I will be extremely happy if it is a boy or a girl, since we have one of each already, it really doesn't matter too much to us. We just want a happy and healthy baby.  I can't wait to see him/her again on the ultrasound! (And hear the heartbeat again!)

Well, my two other little ones are awake now, but I shall write again soon! (:

Number 3 on the way!!!

We couldn't be happier! 

I am tired. I am busy. I have my hands full. But good God, I am so content with life right now, it's hard to wipe the grin off my face

Beach fun!

My big boy had his first day of Pre-K!

Jeffrey's first day of Pre-K was this morning. He showed some signs of not wanting to go before we left our place, but Jeff and I assured him he was going to have a great time, and he finally seemed excited again to go. The car ride was pleasant and when we walked him in, he was running and smiling. He ran up to his teacher and she welcomed him, and he went straight in line with the other kids. I didn't even get a hug!! He just walked right into his class with the kids, and didn't even look back. The ride home was gut wrenching for me and I cried like a fool. I hope he has a fun first day! Ah I am crying again, I need to get a hold of myself!!

Banana Split Bites

I love banana splits, but I always feel guilty after eating one, they are HUGE! I ran across this on Pinterest and was intrigued, so I tried making these little bites, and they ARE AMAZING! (: 

So for those who love banana splits as much as I do, but do not want the guilt...try this! 

 Directions:

• Use firm bananas and cut into 1 inch sections. Leave the peel on for easy handling, and with a melon baller, dig a well in the middle of each banana section. 
• Melt chocolate in the microwave and dip the bottom portion of the banana in chocolate and then dip it once again in either non-pareils or chopped peanuts. To quickly harden the chocolate, place dipped bananas in the freezer for five minutes.
• Fill each well with ice cream (I filled mine with vanilla chocolate chip) and top with whip cream and a maraschino cherry.
