The Nursery

You can check out the finished nursery here. I'm so glad to have this space finished for Little Miss. I love it and I think she is going to as well! Hope you do too!

Weekend Wrap Up

We will start this weekend wrap up on a Tuesday, I'm famous for that. Monday I was just to tired to post. And it really wasn't all that exciting, but let's get real, you just came to see the cute babes!

We made some yummy chex mix.

Did some painting

I am usually the painter, however, this time around, I just cut in and let Chad roll. That's a big deal for me. First, the Behr paint that we picked and made sure was low VOC and were told it is actually NO VOC, is pretty smelly. Second, I was tired. Too tired. Even to paint. Actually Chad is upstairs now, cutting in the second coat on the top. I don't really need to be on a ladder. Unfortunatly it did need a second coat. It looked really bad. So that involved a second trip to Home Depot for a second gallon. That was after we finally decided on a color. Frolic. It was in the "special fans" behind the counter.

Our pumpkins were starting to go bad and it was time to throw them out. Q was sad. He didn't like that option. So he took a bunch of picures of it and now he can remember the pumpkin he painted in art class.

In between playing in the kitchen and playing at Lowes/Home Depot, we ran errands and played in the yard and in the house.

It was a nice weekend together and that is what we really needed!

One Word Wednesday!

Mostly Ready for your arrival!


Give me a break, it's supposed to be a ONE WORD description! Everyone knows, I'm more long winded than that!!

30 Weeks

I am 30 weeks today! Ten more to go and this sweet baby girl will be here and safely in our arms! But first there are many things to get done. Her room would be one (oh and getting B out of her crib, is kind of big too) and then we have to get a car or we can't bring her home from the hospital! Today, I am not feeling good, so I am trying my hardest to keep my feet up, or at least, stay off of them.


We spent Monday night in Raleigh so we could meet the movers at the storage unit bright and early on Tuesday morning. Thankfully Ms. Ashley stepped in and watched the boys!! LIFE.SAVER!!!
They arrived yesterday in their big huge truck (that was full, gulp)and went to work immediately. I was pretty prepared:

We did a walk thru first and these signs were everywhere! I stood at the back of the truck and directed, in case something didn't have a sign.

This is what my house now looks like....in EVERY room:

Yes, it's a little overwhelming, slowly but surely we are washing dishes and laundry and getting it put away and assembled!!

However, the boys room was left pretty much unscathed. A few boxes, mostly clothes to try on and see what will work for this winter!

I did get their new nautical flags up today! The room is far from finished, we are just taking it one day at a time! Check them out here!

Weekend Wrap Up

What a weekend! Even though we stayed within a 10 mile radius of the house, it was busy!

It started on Friday morning with a baby Dr visit for me. Ladybug is doing good. However, I did get a text from Chad during my wait, that B had fallen down basement steps and there was blood everywhere. I learned in a frantic call back, that it was the bottom two stairs. It was a face plant. No blacking out, no vomiting. I called the peditricians office just to make sure. When I got home, there were pacifier pieces on the garage floor. So obviously it was a pretty good smack. I am glad it was Chad with him. If it had been me, he wouldn't have had a paci. I think it probably saved his teeth, his lips, and tonque. Maybe all three. He was acting completely fine. He was pretty busted up and his lip has finally gone down, but is still a little purple/blue on the inside. Needless to say we took it pretty easy the rest of the day.

Saturday we went to the fall festival at the boys school. Magic show (Q totally unimpressed. Chad and I thought he was pretty funny!), face painting, hay rides, Irish dance troupe, live music, balloon animals, fair food and lots and lots of pumpkins.





We then went to soccer and watched another hard core game of ball chase amongst four year olds.

Saturday night we carved a pumpkin. Got a few more to do, but here is a teaser!



Sunday we headed to a park to play and then watched some big kids play soccer. As usual there was a Lowes run. You'll have to check in on us at Refresh & Repurpose to see what fun things we are doing "on the side"!

Packing

Packing and more packing....
I hate packing. I sit here in this apartment wondering how in the world I packed our old house all by myself (Chad was already in Richmond)?
We move tomorrow and the entire apartment needs to be packed.
If I have my way, we are never moving again. Although, it was a great way to get rid of things.
I feel sorry for these three children of mine. Because the next time we move, their daddy and I will be in our 90s and won't be able to do it. And we will have 60 years worth of stuff (including their old stuff, they didn't want to take with them) to go through, get rid of and throw away!!
Guess, I should get to packing!
