A busy week!

We have been some busy people this past week. I feel like just about every night we had something going on.
Kyle has been really busy working on getting packets together for different military schools and his application together for Warrant Officer. When you first join the military you take your ASVAB test which then determines your GT score. Well Kyle was one point to low to apply for Warrant Officer so he had to retake the test. After not being in school for 6+ years it was a little stressful. He studied hard, took classes and did a great job! He was really nervous about it. Now, he has to take a flight aptitude test, I believe on the 26th. He is nervous about this too. With both tests if you don't do well, you have to wait 6 months to take it again, so that puts some added pressure on him. We have run into a few road blocks with his Warrant Officer application. We found out that Kyle's eye sight is just barely to bad. So, he was going to do this anyways, but that means he has to have laser eye surgery and be healed from that before he can actually put in his application. Right now they are saying he will have his eye surgery in March, so he is getting everything else ready so as soon as he is healed from surgery he can turn his packet in and hopefully get picked up quickly. I should also mention that Kyle took Suesse to the vet yesterday for a shot and was told what a horrible owner he was. We apparently don't comb her enough, we don't brush her teeth enough, we don't clean her ears enough, and we need to regulate her eating schedule. Pretty much, she told Suesse that she had the worst owners in the universe. I reminded Suesse that she is a dog, lucky she gets to sleep inside, and oh yeah, did I mention she's a dog! I told Kyle the vet on post here was mean that that I wasn't taking her this time, he found out that he really didn't like them either.
Here is a video of what Kyle and Suesse were up to last night. She has this big stuffed bull that she never plays with. She doesn't like it because she can't destroy it in 5 minutes like the other stuffed animals. So we have been trying to get her to play with it. Last night Kyle had her practicing attacking it.

As for me, I can't believe I am a week away from our Third Trimester! Where has the time gone? My kids at school are very curious about my belly and all now know that I am going to have a baby. They want me to bring the baby out so they can play with him, and feed him. They worry when I cross my arms that I am hurting my baby, and they tell me that my baby is crying all the time. A few are very fascinated by my growing stomach and I will catch them trying to touch it. They crack me up! Luckily I haven't gotten to many questions from them yet, I think they are all scared to ask because one of my darlings told them that I ate my baby and that is how it got in my stomach. Maybe they are scared that if they ask I will eat them too!
Here is a picture of me this morning, at 27 weeks. I can't believe we are a week away from trimester #3!

Kyle brought these home for me the other day. They are some just because flowers...to bad they smelled like stinky feet.

Friday night Kyle and I babysat our friend's 6 month old cute little girl. They wanted a night out so they could celebrate Nick's birthday and we were happy to watch little Scarlett. She was a good girl, got mad at us a couple of times, but she really loved Suesse. Whenever she was upset I would just set her up so she could see the dog and it would stop her crying. Suesse doesn't like the crying so when Scarlett would cry Suesse would whine back up at her. Scarlett also liked pulling Suesse's hair, apparently Suesse didn't mind because she kept on moving closer and cuddling up to her. Scarlett wasn't to sure of Kyle, but honestly, who is? I handed her to him when I had to go to the bathroom and she wasn't to happy. Poor Kyle, but I think he probably pinched her or something!:)
Here are some picture of Scarlett and then of her playing with Suesse.


Kyle and I were planning on going to Rome next weekend for the 3-day and Valentine's Day, but instead Kyle found out he has details (raising and lowering the post flag, things like that), so we have to stay close to home. I am so glad I hadn't bought our tickets. I was so close to buying them and then couldn't figure something out on the website and gave up until he could help me. Thank goodness I ran into problems.
Right now we are enjoying a lazy weekend, yesterday consisted of sleeping in, naps, a trip for milk and movies, and then watching the movies. Kyle isn't feeling well, so we will see if we get around to doing much today.
