I want Rhubarb!!!

This is the time of year for making strawberry rhubarb crisp or pie or really anything with strawberries and rhubarb. A friend of mine had posted this weekend she was making a strawberry rhubarb pie. It sounded so good to me. I decided that today I was gonna make a strawberry rhubarb crisp. I called my mom and got her yummy and super easy recipe. I went to the grocery store and they didn't have any rhubarb. They had gorgeous strawberries so I bought 2 pounds of them. Turkey barely made it out of the store before attacking me for strawberries. I called all of the grocery stores in town and none of them had rhubarb. It gets frustrating when you wanna cook something or you are craving something and you can't find it. I ended up just making a strawberry crisp and it was super yummy! I am gonna have to save some for breakfast tomorrow. It was good incentive to eat dinner.

The last few days James has been off in the afternoons. It has been so nice to have him home. I have been super exhausted lately so I have been able to take a nap in the afternoons that James is home. Turkey has been loving having daddy home. The other day they washed the work truck together, cleaned the garage out and all sorts of fun things. Yesterday I took a really long nap, when I woke up they were in the backyard building a sandbox. It was the cutest thing to see. Turkey was wearing a leotard and a sparkly purple skirt and was helping James measure the wood to cut. The sandbox is about 5 feet square. They did a great job building it. James got out paint to paint the sandbox white. Turkey really wanted to help so he figured sure why not. I got her some clothes that didn't matter if paint got on them. I should have worried about other things then her clothes. She came in the house and her hands were covered in white paint. Her whole hands down to her wrists were covered in it! I got her on a chair and started to scrub her hands with soap and water. Oye ve! The paint did not come off. I now have little white finger prints all over my kitchen. My kitchen chairs have black backs, well had black backs. One of them is spotted with white. I kicked her back out side in hopes the paint would dry or it would magically come off. James had something to get the sticky part of the paint off her hands. She still has cute little white hands.

Not only did they build a sandbox they also mowed the lawn and installed a new screen door on our front door. They were super busy!

I don't think I ever posted what I got for Mother's Day. James got me an automatic garage door opener. If James takes the Jeep to work then my car is held hostage in the garage because I can't open the garage door because it is too heavy. James would open the garage before he would go to work but then I couldn't get it closed and we worried about people stealing our stuff. I am very excited about my new garage door opener. I just wanna go push the button to get it to open. I am easily pleased with the simple things in life.

I am now 12 weeks pregnant. They tell me I will start feeling better in the next week or so. I don't really believe them that it will all be better but I have been feeling a little bit better. I can eat and food sounds good lately. I am kinda forced to eat food all day now. My blood sugar has been low so if I don't eat then I get dizzy. I still have some morning sickness but not as bad. I am getting excited for my next appointment we are hopefully going to find out what we are having. Hopefully we will find out if its a boy or girl before we go to the lake in July. It would be exciting to be able to tell my family when we are there. Turkey is getting more and more excited about being a big sister. She is constantly talking to my belly and giving my belly kisses. She is gonna be the best big sister and a great helper. I don't have a belly picture from this week maybe next.
