Spring Cleaning (and Singing)

This week, I started with a long list of things to clean. And I'm almost done with it! I really only have one more room to clean and then our house officially, verifiably clean! Fun stuff...

And on Sunday I made homemade lasagna, and since I knew Craig and I couldn't finish it all by ourselves, we invited Craig's mom (Diana) and Bill. They enjoyed the food (even though I messed up the homemade french bread) and after dinner Mark had a blast cleaning the dishes with Mammy (as you can see in the picture). He LOVES to wash dishes and play in the water.

Then Craig and Mark had fun bonding by dancing to bluegrass music. It's the funniest thing to watch them because Craig does a perfect "white boy" dance that looks hilarious and then Mark tries to imitate him. I just worry about Mark when he gets older and thinks that's really how you're supposed to dance. So, I got my camera to post a few pictures and videos. :-)

Mark says the funniest things sometimes. Like he knows the "5 dollar foot long" Subway song. It's funny to hear him sing it. :-) And every day this week during Spring Break, I've been letting Mark wake up on his own (which is after Craig leaves for work). And every morning, the first words out of Mark's mouth as he's getting out of bed are, "Where's Daddy?" When I tell him Daddy's at work he get's the saddest little look on his face. And I asked him yesterday, "You miss Daddy?" And he replied in the saddest little voice with his head hung low, "Yeah."

But we're having lunch with Daddy today and going to the doctor to check up on baby #2 in my belly! According to the weird gold chain thing, the baby is going to be a boy. That's when you hold a gold chain with a gold pendant above the belly and if it rocks left and right it's a boy, if it rocks up and down towards the feet and the head, it's a girl. (I think that's right) I don't know if it's too early to tell the sex yet, but Craig and I decided if the baby let's us look to find out the sex, then we'll find out. So, stay posted for my upcoming blog in which you may find out more information about the upcoming blessing due in September...

Until then, enjoy the video! Here's crazy dancing with Daddy (my apologies to Craig):
