Waiting for arrival of Baby Nielsen #4 - Day 4


 Disclaimer - The only pictures I have today are from my cell phone. Today included more driving of kids and a little bit of shopping. The boys actually did pretty well shopping today. We actually got some purchases made. A new stroller and some other baby stuff. Here is Asher's new shirt which I just love...



Now, he is definitely a little stud but he may sound less studly when you hear about why he got a new shirt... We were at the library returning books and cds and dvds and getting new ones. (Have I told you how awesome of a mom Kacey is? She's really awesome. She takes her kids to the library and it is so cute. We live in such an online world that I didn't know they still had libraries? But they do and they are the same magical places that I thought they were as a kid - only better! They have dvd's and music cd's you can check out for free - it's amazing!!)

Anyway... we were at the library and suddenly Rhode says, in a very loud voice for all to hear, "Mom, Asher peed his pants and he got it on the floor too!" So off to the store we go because we were only on errand #1 for the day. And so that is why Asher got his new outfit. I guess he really is a game changer!

I got to take Scarlet to dance and stay and watch her and it was so much fun to be on that side of things again. It was pretty fun to just be able to enjoy watching her and let other people scurry around taking care of the details! Although, truth is I took my computer with me so that I could handle dance matters remotely while I was there but their internet was overloaded so it wouldn't let me on. So, I made the most of it and just stood with my nose pressed against the window watching Scarlet's every move. (Okay, so my nose wasn't pressed against the window but I was watching!) It was so fun. Oh how I wish she danced for TG!

I, myself, posted the recent article on FB about the bad effects of electronics on kids. But when they are used in moderation, they are pretty awesome. Scarlet, Rhode and Asher are big fans of my Ipad. I got a new Planes game that needed a little help from dad to unlock some cool stuff. They were all pretty enthralled. Kacey's kids don't watch television. They only watch shows or movies on DVD on occasion. (Have I mentioned that she is super mom? Okay, just wanted to be sure.) Anyway, this cute little family moment was brought to you by... Ipad.



Did I mention that our day started out with a 2 mile walk with Kacey pushing the 2 boys in a stroller? And still no baby! Geesh. I hope this full moon does the trick tonight. Due date tomorrow. She's never gone overdue before so we are praying this is not a first! We are all ready for the new baby to come!!

Peggy, I'm glad Nielsen #4 is slow in getting here 'cause then you have time to blog!

Your grandkids are absolutely darling.

I hope the baby comes today for all your sakes.
