Punkins

We're finally at the end of out countdown to Halloween! The kids had fun this weekend carving their "punkins". They each used a sharpie to design their jack-o-lantern. Do ya like Sam's face she drew? That was a tough order for us to carve!

Sammy broke out her costume last night for her dance party. She goes to the same dance place I went to; Leigh's School of Dance, and I totally remember the Halloween parties! They were a huge deal! Sam dressed up with all the girls, danced, did a little haunted house, and got a bunch of candy! Then we started bright and early today with another party at preschool. And it's not even Halloween yet!

Will's party is tomorrow, and then we're gonna go to G&G's to dress up and play with all the "Greats". Here's a quick preview of Sam's Ladybug costume. More to come after Saturday.....

The Petzold 5....in May

So, the news has leaked, but just to make it officially public and documented, I wanted to announce.............

WE'RE EXPECTING ANOTHER BABY!!!!!

Sammy and Will are going to be a big sister and brother! We found out in late August, and I've been sicker than a dog since then! Now I'm 11 weeks, and the baby is looking great. We just had a sono Tuesday, and it was twistin' and turnin' around like crazy, so exciting! My official due date is May 3rd, but I'll probably schedule my c-section for the very end of April (one upside to having a c-section!). We're going to try our very best not to find out what we're having since we already have one of each. Of course, both kids want a sibling of their own gender!

As one of our friends pointed out, we'll have to change the name of our blog!! :)

Other than that big news, things are going pretty well. The kids are loving their new preschool. I'm still teaching 5th grade special ed. part time. Will is playing soccer every weekend. Sammy goes to dance class every week. We just got a minivan last weekend. It was something I never said I'd do, but we really do love it! Here are a few recent pictures. Hopefully, I'll stop puking and start getting some energy soon, so that I can update this more often!
