So it has been an incredibly long hectic day that needs to be filed and put away on the shelf. It soon will be but I feel bad for not blogging for 4 days.
So here's a new fact about me (unless you have known me for a long time). I love cats. Especially ones with lots of fur! (notice my dog and cat) I am pretty sure that if I would not have found my soul mate I would have settled to be a cat lady.
Here is a video that I would like to share with you so that I can provide you with a smile until I provide another blog.
Tomorrow... Another day of work but also a doctor appointment. Yay!

Mascot Crazy.
The latest batch of mascot pictures....
The mascots are just so cute and irresistible, aren't they?
p.s. I even passed up a few other mascot picture opportunities at this game. I just picked the few favorites. Aren't you proud :)

Green Thumb.
This is news worthy in my book and worth documenting after looking at my past record.
I have officially tended and had a plant in my care for six months and it is still living! It actually seems to be thriving! Go me and my green thumb!
Here is a picture for documented proof.
Ready for it?

14 weeks.
Well we made it to 14 weeks today! Yay!
Here is the info for this week:
Our baby is busy thumb sucking and toe wiggling. I still haven't felt any movement from the baby yet but hope I recognize it. I can't imagine how exciting it will be :)
Along with our update comes the results of our most recent photoshoot! My husband started a new project for us to remember this pregnancy by and I am in love with the idea. The word caption for that week point he actually took off of my blog and it contains notes that I was feeling during that week. Amazing, right!?! I am impressed with his creativity and hopefully it wont stifle my writing ability knowing that it will be used for a forever memory :)
Enjoy the images!! (Images copyrighted by mJoy Photography)

Cute as Cupcakes.
Finally remembered to take pictures of a few of my Valentine school decorations in my preschool classroom...
Cubby Decorations:
Bulletin Board #1 for my AM Class:
Bulletin Board #2 for my PM Class:
On each bulletin board I asked each classroom child who they love and wrote on a heart for each child what they said. Very interesting responses. It seems as though their pets ranked higher than their parents ;)
Isn't everything about Valentine's Day so cute? I just love them all :)

My weekend equation.
Not too much going on this weekend here with the weather being SUPER cold! The only thing that got us out of the house was some Fargo Force hockey. Otherwise our weekend equated to this....
A whole lotta this....
Fargo Force Hockey
+
In which I finally made the decision...I am Team Jacob. Even with Edward having that quirky smile all the time and affection for Bella. Lets face it. Jacob is way hotter and seems to be kind of a smart talker to Edward. Somehow my heart changed this weekend.
+
Schwans Raspberry Rumble Ice Cream
Definitely a staple for me right now. Its funny how I can never be turned off to ice cream while other cravings come and go ;)
+
Ranch Sunflower Seeds.
For some reason this is my other snack of choice this weekend...
And of course a whole lot of this...
Time spent with my hubby and the furrs...
All in all you could chalk this up to a pretty awesome weekend!
Wish me luck as I leave the warm house tomorrow morning for another work week...

A dose of the best medicine: Laughter.
Well I found out the other extreme to my emotions tonight. I thought when you were pregnant you were just more apt to cry easily (which yes is true). However, tonight I found out the flipside of feeling sad. I had a laughing fit like I have never had before! The last few weeks I have noticed that I find things easily funny and have a bigger laugh at times (maybe due to the big belly haha). But tonight I completely lost my sanity.
Here is what happened and you be the judge of whether or not it was really that funny. Guessing it would have been better if you had been there yourself...
So my husband and I had to make an after hours money deposit at the bank because they were already closed. The drop box is at the window drive up so we pull into the little drive through. He places the car in park and cracks the door to realize he is too far away. He shifts the car out of park and says "I don't know if I can make it". At this same time I see the car slowly rolling and hear the engine starting to slowly build up to a loud roar. He looks down to realize we are in neutral. Of course he drives ahead and we drop the money but I could only imagine what the car next to us was thinking!! There was just something about that sequence of events in which he said "I dont know if I can make it" and hearing him putting the petal to the metal that made me ballistic. I mean I was laughing so hysterically that my laugh was so distorted and I honestly didn't know if the air was going in or out. This in turn made him laugh so hard that he couldn't see to drive. Never have I experienced laughing to this magnitude but it was a good time. Definitely a memorable moment between the two of us (and maybe the guy that was in the atm drive through next to us)
Tonight we also did another baby bump photoshoot to update the last series of shots we did several weeks ago. Our photoshoots should get a little more regular now that I am starting to grow with each week and honestly we quit for a while with the due date confusion getting moved around. Hopefully I will be able to post those pictures within the next few days. Mitch has a few other projects he is working on that need to be completed first.
To finish, I thought I would share a funny comment from one of my four year olds in my class today.
The conversation went like this:
Me: So James*, you are going to Texas in a few days right? Are you going to go in your car to get there or fly?
James: *with the craziest look on his face "I don't know how to fly!"
Oh how literal young kids are! Too funny. Just seemed like lots of things were striking me funny today. If its the pregnancy talking, we can look forward to many more months of this :)
