Beach Ball Belly

Just in time for the end of summer, my belly transformed into a beach ball! And believe me, I have enough belly to make a very inflated beach ball ;) Gabe had fun reliving his theater make-up days as he painted the kids faces and my belly. Talk about a unique family activity. Julia transformed into a bunny and Isaac into a puppy. As you can imagine, they both really enjoyed playing their part. They both thought it was funny that we were painting my belly and even lent a helping hand from time to time. Our baby boy was pretty active while Gabe was painting. I am surprised the paint lines were not more wiggly. Kind of weird to see my "beach ball" bulging out to one side then the other. I can't believe that I am going to post pictures of myself at 37 weeks pregnant in a bathing suit top. Please no snickering or snide remarks! And you may want to put on your shades.... I am pretty pasty!!! Otherwise, enjoy the fun pictures!

Oh Wow! Those were such cute pictures! I showed my co-workers and they all oohed and aahed over them and said how really great you look! They also said that it really looked like you were holding a beach ball instead of being pregnant!
Love the kids faces, too! What a fun way to spend time as a family!

I keep thinking about your beach ball pictures & I think that you should do a storyboard with them. They are keepers!
