Good weekend

We got a lot of stuff done this weekend, and yet still had some time to relax. Aaron finished putting up the trim in the living room, dining room, and hallway - yay! I need to putty and paint it, and also sand, prime, and paint the doors and door-jams. Hopefully I will find some time to do that this summer.

Aaron also brought in the kitchen table and hung up the picture. He painted that back when we lived in Iowa City, but we had nowhere to put it. I really like it here. So does Reuben. :)


Aaron saw this patio furniture in the Blain's farm and fleet ad, so we went to look at it. It's a really great deal - way better than anything at Target or Wal-mart! (Aaron did have to put it all together, so I'm sure that's part of why it was so inexpensive.) We did get two of the pillows and rug at Target - they just do decorative stuff so well. We sat out on the deck this afternoon while Wyatt was napping and enjoyed the sunshine. I can't wait for the weather to be just a tiny bit warmer so we can be outside even more!

We put the infant car-seat and bases in the cars... I washed and put away baby clothes... Put away the cloth diapers... And I also realized I don't have any changing pad covers that don't have elephants on them. I had two for Wyatt that matched his bedding, but Henry's bedding set didn't come with any. I thought I'd just pick up some plain ones at Target, but they only had one kind - pink polka dots! No good. Wal-mart had NO changing pad covers. They didn't even sell the changing pads for the changing tables! So where in the world am I supposed to find some??? Thank goodness for Amazon.com.

Henry's room will be done soon. Just some finishing touches and arranging things. If he decided to come even earlier than April 6th, we'd probably be fine. I think I'd be scrambling a little to get everyone packed, but we'd manage.

Well, I need to go rescue Wyatt out of his high chair. He had some chocolate pudding for dessert, and it's going to be tons of fun to clean up. :)

Looking good!
I have 2 changing pad covers and I'm amazed at how often they both are in the wash and I just have to lay down a receiving blanket! Tiny babies create so much laundry :)

The house looks GREAT! You two have done good work! I hope the weather warms up so you can enjoy that deck stuff soon.
