Last weekend we went on our annual canoe trip with Mike's high school friends - this was the 12th year for them! I've only been around for half of them, so I'm not an old-timer. :) The weather was absolutely gorgeous, couldn't have asked for better. We did not take a dog this year - I wanted a weekend with no responsibility! Even though it is fun having a dog on the river, it's also work and I just didn't feel like dealing with it. We do enjoy how people admire the dog as we're going down the river (we took Brandy one year, and Sadie other years), and Mike felt a little bad that we wouldn't have that this time, but instead he had a pregnant wife that garnered plenty of attention. :) I'm really not sure if we got more comments this year because of me, or in years previous with the dogs... I think a few people were a little surprised I would be in a canoe! It was a great time though, and even the camping went well thanks to a wonderful air mattress that we borrowed.
We have in our possession the car seats that we will be using for the boys. We have yet to try them out in the car, but I have a sneaking suspiscion we might have some space issues. A couple weeks ago when we babysat my niece we had her car seat in and we had to move the front passenger seat up - I moved the driver's side up the same amount to check it out and it makes driving quite uncomfortable. Of course, we'd be fine if Mike and I were shorter or if we were only having one baby. :) I am SO not mentally prepared for getting a minivan, but it just might have to happen. That's a major purchase that was not on our list of things to get - yikes!!
Tomorrow will be our last day of onion harvest. Phew! We've had such good weather for it that it's been go go go for a while now. As much as I enjoy it, I think I'm ready to be done - it's getting a little harder for me to move around, and just the busyness of it is a little taxing. It's a good thing with farming that you have the winter to recuperate, this pace would be impossible year round!
The babies are doing great, no major updates there. They are pretty active during the day, but thankfully let me sleep at night. From the way they've been positioned the last couple times I've seen them, they are hitting and kicking each other. I knew the fighting would be unavoidable, but I didn't think it would start so young!
