So I'm sitting at work Friday morning when I have the following conversation with Jacob on Mark's cell phone:
Jacob: (in his most tattle-telling voice) "Mom, Alana got sent to the PRINCIPAL's OFFICE cause she threw up her hotcakes onto her SHOES!"
Mom: "Oh, my!"
Jacob: "yes, so now we have to go back to school and pick her up from the PRINCIPAL's Office!!"
Of course I felt bad because she had said that her stomach hurt that morning, but in my defence she also told me that her arm and her leg and her elbow hurt. (I just figured this was her way of not getting dressed and ready for school) Oh, well, guess I'm out of the running for mother of the year.
The good news is she didn't get sick after that. Just a one time thing I guess.

Catch Up
I'm trying to think of a really good excuse for why I haven't kept up with my blog. I haven't come up with a clever one, so I'll just try to catch you up.
Our big news is that we are having another baby!! I'm due August 19th, and we're very excited! (Okay, I will be very excited when I'm done with the feeling sick and being tired part) Everything is going great, with the exception that I'm not getting morning sickness, I'm getting evening sickness. This works out great for work (since I work full-time) but not so great for housework. (So, if you pop by my house unannounced this is why I'm talking to you on the front porch!) Also not so great for blogging, since I used to do that in the evening too!
The kids are all really excited. Jacob keeps talking to my belly trying to convince the baby to be a boy. He keeps promising to share his superhero toys if it will only be a boy. (I'm not sure if bribery will help at this point - but I supposed it can't hurt!) Alana of course has decided she wants a girl so that she can dress her up as a princess!
In other news, last week when the kids picked me up for lunch (Friday is the girl's early release day from school so we all eat lunch together). As soon as I got in the car, I was informed that Alana was running for president! (well, really this was just a matter of time, and honestly I always imagined that with her it would be more of a military coup) She was running for president of her BEDROOM! and Jacob was running against her! This worked out well for Anarosa, who being the only other occupant of the room was the only consituant allowed to vote. A fact not lost on her since she declared very loudly that she wouldn't vote for anyone who didn't have a campain poster and a speach! So the rest of the afternoon they spent preparing their posters and their speaches (lots of campain promises that were just too funny) They got so into that they they compltely forgot to have the election! So we never did find out who won.....
Well, that's the news so far...
