We just had a great fun relaxing few days at the cabin with Stephen before he took off for a few days to Philidelphia. Beck and Stephen did some diligent fishing, but with no luck, but with a few nibbles and large fish sightings at least!

 We took some short little "hikes" and yes, I can barely see my feet over this 36 week belly...

 Penelope got lucky and got a sucker at the little store down the road, while the rest of us got ice cream.

 This picture pretty much sums up all of their personalities.

 Paisley even tried her hand at fishing. It's amazing to me that my children even eat fish. Everyone of them but me. Too bad for Stephen that he has to be the one that will has to cook it if any of them actually want to eat it.

 The beautiful cabin that we had all to ourselves. I sewed for like 2 days straight and the kids played lots of board games and such. We had good food and late night movies. Can't wait to get back.

Penelope is always the lucky one that gets carried when we go see the big waterfalls and she's perfectly content with that. ;)

1st strawberries from our little garden. Kids thought they were delicious! 

Paisley "First she said no, and then I have her the sad face and she said yes. You should go try it Beck!" 

Penelope is 17 months and I am 35 weeks and 3 days!!! Count down is on! 

I don't like to really waste anything. Like anything. When my kids are done drinking their water I pour what's left into the plants that are around the house. After dinner I gathered up all the cups and poured Penelope's into the nearest plants and out plops a very soggy cracker with it. I about threw up

for some reason...

 Penelope has a slight obsession with water bottles. I always have one on my nightstand that I drink at night and come morning time she has stolen it and is carrying it around trying to get me to open it. I don't think that my other kids were drinking from a cup and a water bottle at this age so well, but Penny is really quite good at it and spills rarely. She has to have the lid too as you open it for her, so that she can take it on and off. And don't you dare try and take it away from her until she has drank the whole thing!
