A Rose by Any Other Name

I have a blog post today here.

My Baby and Me

Remember how I said that Baby doesn't want to be called "Baby" anymore? Well that's ok, because I'm having another one.

ETA July 20, 2011.

It will be a girl.

I'm as big as a house.

I'm doing my best to construct this baby completely out of fish tacos from Rubios and barbecue plate lunches from L&L.

Baby obliges her nervous mother by kicking her every 15 minutes or so. I love it, for now.

When I told Boy I had a baby in my tummy he shrugged and said, "yeah, and Daddy has a puppy in his tummy." And what does Boy have in his tummy? "A flower." We are all looking forward to delivery day.

Happy April Fool's Day

So here's the thing,

I decided to turn over a new leaf about keeping my blog up-to-date the day before April Fool's Day. So now, I have all kinds of exciting things to talk about, and I run the risk of them not being believed (because some of them are, let's face it, unbelievably awesome).

So I'll just skip the newsy update and chit-chat about April Fool's Day.

I like April Fool's Day when it is properly celebrated. Here is a list of proper and improper ways to celebrate April Fool's Day, all of which have been tried (though not necessarily on me).

Proper:

• Feeding your family non-breakfast food that looks like breakfast food (cookies that look like fried eggs, that kind of thing)
• "Short-sheeting" someone's bed so they end up in a tangle of sheets when they try to quietly slip between the covers
• Taking a screen shot of someone's computer screen and setting it as the desktop image, except upside down
• Telling your carpool partner that you can't pick them up and they will have to sleep at work (but then picking them up)
  

Improper:

• Feeding your family non-food items that will make them sick
• Throwing someone's bedding in the swimming pool
• Deleting the hard drive on someone's computer without telling them
• Hitting your carpool partner with your car

Ok, fine, I don't know anyone who has hit her carpool partner with her car on April Fool's Day (ha ha, April Fools!)
