today was spent with jon mowing the lawn and mom and i cleaning the house. your basic nesting instincts when you know that you won't be able to do anything for a week after the baby comes on monday.

sparky taught me a little trick about when your mom is visiting. she told me to say, "mom, how do you __________ so well at your house." (fill in the blank spot with whatever you want done) for example, "mom, how do you get this grimy soap residue off the shower tile?" then mom says, "oh honey that's easy." and proceeds to finish cleaning the shower you didn't want to clean.

it's a genius move, thanks sparky for the idea.

so does sharon the hammer win the baby pool? or perhaps we can have a redo, and we can all guess what exact time/day we think the babe will come?
i think being one who has gone through induction, i may have an advantage. though i guess it can vary widely.
anywho, lets have a redo!

That's probably the best thing I've ever learned how to do.

You should ask Barrel about the time I tricked her into making my bed with that exact technique. It was priceless. I still laugh about it.

In the spirit of the Tour, could Jon supply us with live updates?


Haha! Just kidding. There are some things we don't want to know.
