Given that after this weekend the baby can pretty much come at any time, DH and I are taking the steps two weekends in a row. If you remember last weekend is when SD10 committed charity fraud and collected money for Kony 2012 and then subsequently spent it on herself. I have told DH that I am not comfortable with this and he should take it up with her but I'm sure he won't. Heaven forbid he get after her. I had to blow a gasket in order for him to ban her from using permanent marker when drawing on our now ruined white dining table.

Anywho, my family is having a huge party this weekend at their ranch with tons of kids, activities, food, etc. DH and I have been looking forward to this for months and we are taking the steps. I can already see how this will play out though. SD10 will insist on sitting in DH's lap and possibly laying her head in his lap, despite there being tons of kids, a moon bounce, face painting, snow cones, etc. SD11 will spend all her time asking if there is any Guitar Hero she can play. SD5 will be well-behaved because she has spent the least amount of time being damaged by her mother. I think I am going to have to talk with DH about setting some ground rules before we go over there.

- No lap sitting, especially for the gigantic children.
- No whining or complaining.
- If they are tired, they can go take a nap in one of the guest bedrooms. Napping in my husband's crotch is not an option.
- The adults will decide what time we go home, not the children.
- They are more than welcome to play all they want! PLEASE! Jump in the bouncy house! Run around with other kids! Eat sugar so that they have an inevitable sugar crash on the way home! Just so long as they leave us the F alone for five minutes.

Man, I really need to have this baby already.
