My favs...

Poor Kyle is still working on his research paper that is due tomorrow. Hopefully he won't be up too late tonight! He's here working at home, so I'm trying to be quiet and not distract him with tv noise. I figured I'd update our blog again since I've been so good about it lately, but I have no new pictures of the kiddos, and other than Janelle going on her exciting field trip to the Science Museum (which we went to a little over a month ago), nothing new is really going on. So this is what I came up with: A post about what I'm into these days. Nothing super exciting, but it's better than nothin'! I was going to post a 16-week belly picture (because I know you're all dying to see how big I am already!), but I already have my pj's on, so I promise I will try and get one soon when I have cute clothes on. :)

I present...Laura's Current 5 Favs (in no particular order)
*Subject to change at author's discretion.

Laura's Fav #1:
"Chuck"

I LOVE "Chuck!" It is my favorite show ever!!! Their season finale was tonight with rumors that it might not last to next season, and if that is the case I might go into extreme depression in the fall. Seriously, this show is hilarious!!! Maybe if our baby is a boy we will name him Chuck.

Laura's Fav #2:
Peppers
Red, Green, Yellow, Orange, Jalepeno, Olive Garden salad Peppers...if it is a pepper, I will eat it.

This is one of the most unique and specific pregnancy cravings I've ever had. I've always liked peppers, but I've never craved them like I do now! Lately I've eaten raw peppers, sauteed peppers over pasta, stir-fried peppers, peppers on pizza, peppers on sandwiches, peppers on a baked potaoto, and I tried my very first Olive Garden salad pepper over spring break in March. Usually they are too hot for me, but it sounded so yummy to me when we had Olive Garden that I gave it a try and fell in love with them! I also tried some of Kyle's new jalepeno flavored chips that definitely had some spice to them (which again, I'm usually not a fan of), but thought they were amazing! This baby has definitely created a higher tolerance of spicy things for me!

Laura's Fav #3
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

I read this book when it came out a few years ago, but decided to re-read it before the movie comes out this summer. I'm so glad I am! I think I read it so fast the first time that I missed out on some things, because I'm reading it again like I haven't read it before. I just love Harry Potter!

Laura's Fav #4:
Frozen Cookies

This isn't a new pregnancy thing, I've always loved frozen cookies. But I've especially been craving them the last few days. I even like them better frozen than fresh out of the oven! My favorite is to dip them in milk....mmmmm. I'm not too crazy, I picked this up from my Dad, he's the same way. (And neither of us like cookie dough either!)


And lastly...

Laura's Fav #5:
Swimming

We've been over to my parents' house quite a bit lately to swim. I love swimming laps, it feels so nice and refreshing! Plus depending on how hard I push myself, I can get a pretty decent workout out of it. I love it, the kids love it, it makes them tired...which calls for an early bedtime...it's a win-win activity! I can't wait for the local pools to start opening!
