Visiting Ants

Yesterday my youngest sister came over in the afternoon & evening to play with my son. The two of them jumped on our trampoline for over an hour! After playing a game where our son would hide under the trampoline while his aunt tried to get them, they laid down on the trampoline & waved to all the airplanes passing over. Then back to jumping for another 30 minutes or so!!! He really enjoyed having someone to jump with since Daddy's been working so hard & Mommy just can't jump with her baby belly. After a delicious dinner, we watched the movie 'Manchurin Candidate' which was terribly slow & boring. If I hadn't been too tired to move, I would've gone to bed instead. (LOL) My youngest sister then spent the night in the guest room, before heading to work in the morning.

Today we ran out to get some any traps & spray for the few we're finding in the kitchen area. Problem is we can't see where they are coming from. I guess it's that time of year though. I also found some summer maternity clothes (mostly jumpers & a few summer tops) at two local resale shops. All I would really like are some additional tank tops & possibly a few casual summer dresses. Otherwise I'm managing okay on clothing, even if the heat is killing me & our gas bill! (LOL) In the resale shops, my son behaved the best ever for me while I tried clothes on.

This afternoon we baked some cookies & then played with another neighbor & her girls outside before jumping on our trampoline & coming inside for dinner. Then we started a bath early so my son could take a nice long one & still get to bed at a decent time. Tonight after he goes to bed (which he's doing very well by himself after a book & milk), I'll be finishing laundry so we're all caught up.

For those who are curious, the baby's been moving a lot lately & the cramping is reducing. It's nice things are going smoothly, even if my back is really achy from the baby weight. We're so lucky to be having this second child. Every day I'm thankful for that, despite the aches & pains. We can't wait for our son to have a baby brother or sister. I really have no guess which sex it is right now & could care less as long as it's healthy. Although a girl would be great to possibly calm my son slightly & even the odds in our family! (LOL)
