Working on my nursery

So we had a very busy weekend. On Saturday we rearranged our bedroom so that our bed is now in front of our windows and we were able to move in our computer desk, filing cabinet and printer into our bedroom. We had all that set up in the baby's room. It is amazing how adding another addition to our family makes our house seem so small. I worked on getting the baby's room all cleaned up and Rod and I's clothes out of her closet. On Sunday we were supposed to go help some friends of ours build raised boxes for their garden but it was so cold and windy that we were home bound, so against my husbands will he got roped into painting. But, a case of beer and he was happy. We painted three walls purple and one wall green. My bumper is colored poka dots on one side and pink and white stripped on the other side and I got matching sheets along with some flowered sheets to go with it. I just love Targets baby selection. I got my swing and car seat all cleaned up since it smelled of baby vomit (thanks Finn:)) he is a bit of a pucker. I just need to get my crib set up and changing table set up and we should be good to go. My dad is making my dresser (hopefully) so I think that I have everything covered. We had a really busy weekend but I am glad to get the painting done and out of the way. We did most of it when Caden was taking his nap and when he woke up he just sat on the bed in their and watched us. He wanted to know why we didn't paint it pink (that's his favorite color) His daddy just took another drink of beer and walked away. Rod took him to get his hair cut last week and Caden came home with a purple balloon. Rod tried to convince him to take the blue, green or yellow - but no,he had his mind set on the purple one - I thought it was cute!

Bounce House Fun

Amy and I took Caden and Lukas to a traveling bounce house play area today. We had so much fun. Caden and Lukas played on all 7 different bounce houses, some of them had slides and some were just jump areas with balls in them. At one point both Caden and Lukas were fighting over this big ball and it was rolling all over them, it was hilarious. We got there at 10:00 and left at 11:15, Lukas and Caden were starting to run out of energy as were Amy and I. It was a lot of work to chase them around. When we got home Caden ate a full yogurt and a whole grilled cheese sandwich - he was starving. Then I put him down for his nap and he was asleep in two minutes! It completely wore him out.

Kristin's baby shower!

We had my sister Kristin's baby shower this past weekend up in Cottonwood - she is due in 3 weeks. I feel so bad for her to, she is looking pretty uncomfortable. I gave her a little pedi and painted her toneails to make her feel a little better. She got a lot of great things at her party, a stroller, big car seat, lots of clothes, blankets, saucer, walker, gift cards - I would say that Brodie is going to be one happy spoiled little guy! I can hardly wait for his arrival.

Caden and Cole had fun as usuall - destroying my moms house and getting into trouble. At one point they went downstairs and were playing in my dads wood pile, they came upstairs with sawdust in their hair, down their underware/diapers it was pretty funny! Sawdust was everywhere. Finn is now crawling which leads to all kinds of trouble. He was trying to steal the guns the boys where playing with and then there cups and it was just a rough time for the little guy. He was also teething so he was a little cranky.

Also - Rod and I found out yesterday that we are going to be having a baby girl in July - we are so excited. I bought her her first little dress today - I just couldn't resist.
