Having a Cow?

Our midwife came over for my first check up last night. The children were really excited to hear the baby's heartbeat, as were my husband and I. When our midwife asked the kids what they thought the baby would be, these were the results:
The oldest two boys: A girl
The five year old boy: A boy
The 3 year old boy: A COW!
Toddler girl: No comment, but I bet she's hoping she's not stuck sharing her room with a cow!

Mmm, Yumm! Totally Distracted!

I just totally got sidetracked while looking for a picture of Mother Theresa to print for our studies of India this week. I was over at Charlotte's blog looking for her amazing hand drawn coloring pages, when lo and behold I saw this:Charlotte is having a giveaway for Barbara Beery's new book: Pink Princess Cupcakes
Pink, pretty, cupcakes, what more can I say? I totally got distracted! Anyway, it also turns out that Barbara Beery has a cool online shop dedicated to selling kids cooking supplies! You can check it out here: Batter Up Kids

Now to get back to work! I'm supposed to be gathering info on India and the Catholic missions there! I might need to take a quick sugar break first though ;)
