3 For Thursdays

Explanation: a friend of mine started doing posts with prompts recently. She was inspired by someone else's blog (today, it was The House of Estrogen). I thought it was a fun idea, so I'm giving it a try.

1. Three favorite items of clothing (probably different from times I'm not pregnant :)

• Maternity belt
• BellaBand
• Maternity goucho pants
  

2. Three things in my house that I wish were self-cleaning

• Kitchen
• Laundry room
• All areas that need dusting ever
  

3. Three favorite summertime lunches

• PB&J
• Grilled cheese
• Lunchmeat sandwich with tomatoes, lettuce (or spinach) and vegetable cream cheese
  

4. Three things my children say that they picked up from me

• "What the crap!" Seriously, I heard my son say it for the first time this morning. Sad! Good thing I'm not in the habit of actually swearing. :/ So far, my two year-old hasn't picked this one up.
  
• "Up to the table!"
  
• "That's crazy!"
  

5. Three good movie recommendations

• Kung Fu Panda 2
• Sabrina (Harrison Ford, Julia Ormond version)
• Any Brian Regan DVD
  

6. Three inexpensive date night ideas

• Movie in the park (with your laptop; also can be done in your backyard)
• Slumber party :)
• Okay, so both previous ideas are somebody else's; check out the Love, Actually blog. Love it!
  

7. Three favorite flowers

• Yellow roses
• Gerber daisies
• Tulips
  

8. Three places I'd like to visit
There are SO many! Guess I'll go with the ones I'd like to visit the most.

• Russia - where my husband served his LDS mission
• Europe . . . yep, pretty much all of it (I've got to visit the Louvre, and Italy - probably Florence
  
• A balmy island that can be rented in its entirety. Just me and my man, with absolutely no one else. Mmmmm . . .
  

9. Three good habits that I practice

• Not biting my nails - but my husband had to train me. Mom was unsuccessful. haha
• Doing a little bit of cleaning almost every day. It's a lot easier than saving it all for one day of the week.
• Eating. hahaha It's a good habit when you aren't eating too much and are eating a variety of foods. :D
  

10. Three pictures

Messing around with my Canon recently (came across what was essentially a free photography class). My son was an eager subject. :D

I was a less willing subject. I have never taken a "baby bump" picture until today (which isn't too crazy unless you know that this is my THIRD pregnancy). Yesterday was my 37 week mark. Sidenote: my nose is not usually that large looking - that's a perk of pregnancy. ;)

This illustrates what my husband does for a living - at least partially. He's an athletic trainer for the high schools in our school district. So he watches high school sports, and mostly enjoys it. (He's hot, right? I am a lucky woman)
