{nesting}

We had a great weekend!  I cleaned the house on Friday because I had a massage on Saturday and didn't want to ruin it by cleaning the house. :)  So we started the weekend with a clean house, Mark got to go golfing, I had a massage and we met some friends at the Stormchasers game last night.  Even though the game got rained out, it was nice to see the Rowe's.  Today was a pretty relaxing end to a great weekend. :)  I'm almost 37 weeks pregnant and feeling it.  Mark made the comment that Kolbe might be the only person in the world that walks slower than me.  Isn't he hilarious??? ;)  We took a tour of the hospital last week and got preregistered....now we're just waiting on Baby J. :)  

Like I mentioned before....lots of nesting going on here.  I love a finished project. :)  Here are some of our latest.

Mark finished the sandbox and Kolbe is loving it.  Now we just need to get him to stop throwing sand.  He has been in timeout a few times already.... I think he'll learn pretty fast. :) 

Daddy likes the sandbox, too. :)

Supervising and relaxing after all of his hard work!

Can you tell he loves it?  Mark is so fancy he added a bench.  :)

We also got a little pool for the backyard.  Kolbe's favorite thing to do in the water?? Golf.   So silly!

One of my finished projects.  That chair was $9 at Goodwill.  Much to Mark's dismay, I moved it here all the way from Arizona.  Then painted and distressed it.  My mom picked out the flowers.  She's a pro. :) 

Front Porch...I still need a wreath for the front door. I've got some things in mind.....add it to the list!

I made this with my Silhouette....AKA best Christmas present ever!  No surface is safe now that I know how to use it.....There will be vinyl on everything! 

Sneak peak of the nursery.  Here's just one of the things going in there.  I made this, too.  Isn't that machine awesome??

Just a few more things I'd like to do before the baby gets here:

• Paint the table to go next to the rocking chair
• Move the furniture to make room for the new dresser
• Curtains for the Nursery
• Finish last wall hanging for Nursery....hang everything on the walls.
• Child proof the bathroom drawers so Kolbe stops making a huge mess in my bathroom
• Pack a hospital bag

Here's to another productive week.  The nursery is getting so close to being done.  I'll share when it is.  Mark's whole family is coming down for Memorial Day Weekend.  We're going to see how much fun stuff we can cram in one weekend.....zoo, pool. shopping, and whatever else. :)  Have a great week everyone! 

{catch up}

We have less than one month before Baby J #2 is due.  I cannot believe it.  Nesting has kicked in full force and Mark is getting to do lots of projects.  Kolbe is loving being his helper. :)  So far they have put down pavers to make our patio a little bit bigger....and to give the grill it's own spot.  Right now Mark is working on Kolbe's sandbox.  I love having a handy husband. :)  

Kolbe is so happy Mark is making him a sand box.....does it get any more precious than this?

More projects still on the list.....

• finish decorations for the nursery and hang on the walls  
• pack hospital bag
• move rocking chair into master bedroom to make room for our awesome dresser in the nursery....thanks Tom and Michelle!!!
• sand and paint table to go next to rocking chair
• lamp for next to rocking chair

Oh and one more thing on the list.....get prepared to be a Guidance Counselor at G. Stanley Hall Elementary!!!!!  So thankful that this job opportunity popped up.  I know it will be so hard to leave my kids in the fall but I know this is the right thing for our family right now.  On that note.....if you know of anyone with daycare openings in the Bellevue/Papillion area, please let me know. :)  

This video of Kolbe is hilarious.  He has a book called Bill's Bulldozer and Bill has a cat and the cat is on every page.  We don't even read it.  He just turns the page, points at the cat, and meows like this.  We can't get enough.....and the eating dirt at the end is just an added bonus.  This kid is ALL BOY!

You'll be able to hear better if you scroll all the way down to the bottom and pause the music. :)
