Because QT Are My Only Outlet I Guess.

1. I Have Been Afflicted with Failure to Blog Syndrome. 

I don't know why. But because of this, you get Quick Takes! 

2. It's (Maybe) A Girl! 

If you missed the post on Tuesday we had our ultrasound where everything looks good and they think she is maybe a she. We have started referring to her as a girl now and using her name. I feel kind of like a conspiracy theorist on this: the whole time I've felt that it was a girl and that made me happy. But because we don't know for sure I am kind of guarding my heart a little bit. We haven't run right out to buy anything is all I'm saying. We did do a bit of online window shopping to discuss likes and dislikes in girl clothing trends. It is very nice to be halfway through at this point however! 

3. Last Day of School Around These Parts

I am prepared for the onslaught of children everywhere I go.
I am also excited we can go to the elementary school playground (6 houses away)  during the day now.
Summer is a good thing.
I give the stores 3 weeks before all the back to school stuff goes out!

4. Sadness

My FIL and Husband have an interesting relationship. Every time I think it's getting better something happens to get in the way. This time it is that he has failed to acknowledge in any way C's birthday. Honestly, they aren't big gift people so I wasn't expecting anything but maybe a card or a phone call.

I was giving him the benefit of the doubt because his birthday was on Memorial Day so with no mail and a holiday weekend I get it. But now it's Friday. And we haven't received anything. Not even a text message. I'm not even mad. I'm just sad for C who clearly isn't going to have a strong relationship with his Grandfather. 

5. Busy Bags, Thank You Cards and Play-Doh

C got 2 different Play-Doh sets for his birthday so there's been lots of that this week. Add to that writing thank you notes (I wrote/addressed/stuffed/stamped them and C colored on each of them.) and making Busy Bags and I feel especially crafty. Not that Play-Doh counts as a craft but it's messy and takes forethought.

I'm especially proud of my Busy Bag... stay tuned for a post on that!

6. Some Days You Just Need A Special Lunch

We ordered the dinner box from Pizza Hut today. It's a great special treat for us and there's enough leftover that Husband can have some too. We never order pizza for lunch but I was reminiscing about how on the last day of school in first grade we walked to Jonathan Hughes' house and had Pizza Hut. And I have been in a bit of a funk so... ordering lunch it was.

7. Seriously... I need to blog more

But I am out of things to say. Join up with Jen.
