Being 26 weeks and the Advent season actually don't go together. Little Baby #3 turned 26 weeks on Wednesday. I'm assuming we will have all 3 children by the time Advent season starts this year--I believe December 2nd. If not, then we will have her that week! Just about 12 full weeks!
Here is a belly and chalkboard update:
Yes, my heart is burning all day and all night. Heartburn.
But I am currently in love with Ice cream, cheesecake, Lucky Charms, and the Salted Caramel Mocha from Starbucks--decaf & non-fat WITH whip(tall and non fat makes it only 300 calories instead of over 400. I just saw that taking off the whip takes away 80 more)!

So, Advent?
We had the chocolate cardboard calendars growing up.
We got Landon one the year I was pregnant with/had Lucy. That was something we had already gotten and set out by his own tree before we had her. We had intended on getting a nice, wooden manger/stable one we had seen after Christmas for the following years.
And we forgot until the 1st Sunday of Advent. =/
Last year, I saw so many people blogging about different calendars and crafts to make with kids during Advent. There was one Luke and I both liked and decided we'd start this year. Here are a few blogs that did the same:
We set out after Christmas looking for Christmas books. We got a few at Hallmark and Wal-mart. I think we ended up with 5? And those 5 were nice, record-able or sound books.I remembered the other day that we still needed to look for Christmas books, and was hoping we could find some cheap . We went into a store called Ollie's here in Louisville. JACKPOT!

None of the books were over $3.99, and most were $1.99.We now have 19 books. And we have about 11 or 12 weeks to finish up the books--look around the house, go to Goodwill, order from Scholastic book order,or snag some on-line.We will have books now to use every year, and continue the tradition of opening one every night. I have some time also to figure out some other activities, crafts, or service projects to add in also to our advent time.

Landon has finished his first two days of pre-school. He loves it so far! Next week he will go real hours. We are back to the baby doctor on Monday, and will finish off the week packing!
