the muffin man

We took Uncle Kyle to eat Sushi for his birthday tonight. We were waiting to order and Hannah said, "Look the muffin man is making our food." The Sushi chef was wearing a hat and Hannah thought it looked like the muffin man. We all got a good laugh out of that. We are not sure where she has seen a muffin man wearing a white hat, but I am sure she has. The night before when we were getting her ready for bed, we pulled her shirt off and left it on her head for her to finish taking off. She proudly said, "Look at me I look like the muffin man." She is too much fun!! Dad and Uncle Kyle said the "Muffin Man" made good sushi.

the poll is closed

Thanks to everyone who voted. I am glad to know that 17 people read the blog. I will put a poll up closer to time for everyone to vote if we are having a boy or a girl.

baby shower

Hannah was excited to go to Rachel's baby shower with me. She did not walk to talk to Rachel when we got there. She did go right to Flex and talked to her. She also liked looking at pictures of Madden. We hate that we did not get to stay longer, but we had to get Hannah to gymnastics.

Uncle Kyle and Hephaestus

Hannah was very excited when she got up from her nap today and Uncle Kyle was here. He is moving in with us to go to school here. We had not told her he was coming, because we did not want to hear everyday, "Is Uncle Kyle coming today?" She was so happy to see him and his snake. She did not want to hold Hephaestus but did pet and talk to him. We are glad to have Uncle Kyle here and the snake too.

Since she is good at all of these things we know she will be a great big sister.

Baby Hood is due in April. (Either the 10th, 12th, or 18th, the doctor said she would give me a definite due date when I come back in October.) When we told Hannah this morning she said she wanted a brother and a sister. She also wanted to look in my belly button to see the baby. She was a little disappointed that she could not see the baby through my belly button.

Who made this mess?

Hannah did. She loves to play in our bathroom. Dad is not good at putting the toothpaste back where it goes. When we asked Hannah what happened to the toothpaste she said, "I squeeze the toothpaste and make it come out." She is getting tall enough to reach everything now.

dinner with Ty

Hannah was so excited to eat dinner with Ty tonight. We tried to go to Snappy Tomato, but it was too crowded. We ended up at Applebee's. Ty and Hannah ate a good dinner and had fun entertaining each other across the table. They even sang the blessing they sing at school for us. A lady who was leaving even stopped to comment about how well behaved they had been. I am glad it was a peaceful meal. Thanks for calling to and asking us to dinner.

new Kindermusik material

Hannah got her new books, CD and instrument tonight at Kindermusik tonight. Derrick took her so I could get ready for Bible Study. He said she did well. I tried to take her picture with her new things, but she wanted no part of it. The instrument is called a stir xylophone, which goes well with the Milk and Cookie theme. I hope to get a video of her playing the stir xylophone. It does sound really neat.

gymnastics with Kylie

We were so glad that Kylie came to gymnastics tonight. Hannah was a little to worried about making sure that Kylie was doing what Miss Sara said that she was not listening herself. I am sure the more Kylie comes the better Hannah will do. She likes the stamps that Miss Sara gives her and she knows if she does not listen she does not get stamps. I am amazed each week and what she will do, all by herself.

the backyard first

We have seen deer, turkey, squirrels, groundhogs, a mole, a cat, two different dogs, and birds in our back yard. Tonight we were able to add Thomas the Tank Engine to our list of backyard visitors. While we were getting off the computer with Mike and Nene we heard a train whistle. It was Mr. Tucker driving Thomas to pick us up to come to their house to visit. Hannah loved it. She went on several rides. Thomas even brought us back to our house so we would not have to walk. While we were visiting Hannah ate some ice cream and played on the car and swing. She had a great time playing with Ansley and Jack Ryan.
