PROGRESS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Matt and Jacob came over this past Sunday to make a plan of action. They came over last night to start the work. Here are the photos of last night and they are coming back tonight to finish up. We are so thankful and super grateful for all their help and hardwork.

We moved Aidan's finished Big Boy Furniture into his Big Boy Room. This way we have the garage space for Matt and Jacob to work and also for me to work on the dresser drawers and bookshelf we have left to finish. I grabbed photos of the slats, the feet for the slats, bed rails, dresser, headboard and foot board.

And here we have the "before" of the Nursery. The set up we have with Aidan's current bed and one of our MANY MANY tubs of infant boy clothing. Yeah...I REALLY need Aidan's Big Boy dresser finished so I can get this tub out of my already cluttered room. Hopefully soon we'll set up the pack'n'play in our bedroom and get it organized in the meantime it's a holding room for junk until we get all this stuff rearranged.

Why eat breakfast when you can make your "CHEEEESE" face??!

32 weeks

Well, today is actually 32 weeks 1 day. :-)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

We as normal are behind. We spent this morning carving a jackolantern. The Boys had a blast. Logan enjoyed stirring the pumpkin and got mad anytime Andrew worked on it. Aidan took one of the kiddie knives and kept stabbing the pumpkin saying, "I did it!!" I took pictures and a video. Like most things the kiddie knives became drum sticks and Aidan serenaded us.

Nana and Grandpop came over to see the Boys trick or treat. I took one picture of our house before we went. Luckily Grandpop is always at the ready with the camera! We went to 6 houses and then Aidan said he needed to go pee and we went home. Logan was content to run around the cars and "scare" us. Aidan enjoyed seeing the other kids, handing out candy and of course eating it too! Don't know how many more Halloween nights we can get by with only hitting a few houses.

Progress in preparing for Daniel

I am just a BIT ansty on trying to get this all done. I have said before most "smart" people would do a home rennovation finish it then try to get pregnant. Andrew and I prefer the back asswards approach. Why not try, get pregnant on the first try and then in a month or two start the home rennovations. Yup, that's us in a nutshell. The wall is ready for moulding and today Matt came over to help get the chair rail up in Aidan's Big Boy room. Matt and his friend Jacob will be coming over tomorrow to assess what needs to be done in the new office and toy room. I decided to grab a few shots of Matt and Andrew's handy work along with the mess that is weighing on my shoulders. Here we are closing in on the last 8 weeks of the pregnancy and this is what we have. No place for Aidan if we make room for Daniel, no place for Daniel if we make room for Aidan, and a wall painted with primer. I grabbed some shots of the closet. We have used it for storage. Andrew needs to make a shelf in the garage to help accomodate, we are purging and reorganzing as much as possible. In my opinion decent storage is lacking in thise house. We feel we are busting at the seams and yet are adding another human being here. Luckily, some of the stuff int he closet is the crib and mattress Daniel will use. Some filing cabinets that are not currently in use but will be soon! Some Holiday decorations, wrapping paper and gift bags. Three suitcases filled with toys we took out of the toyroom to build the wall. We have the bumper pool in the middle of the room that will need to be moved the garage. The garage however has all of Aidan's Big Boy Furniture that I am finishing. Here's hoping we can get things done or I might go nutty!!

Logan and the Balloon

Today we went to Harris Teeter. Of course cookies and balloons are a must! Logan let go of his balloon in the foyer and was trying to jump and get it. I also FINALLY got a clip of him saying, "Hooray!!"

Enjoy!!

Candy Necklaces

We had a Halloween Party at Carrie's Parent's house this past Saturday. The kids bobbed for apples, pinned the smile on the skeleton, did a blindfolded marshmallow game, ring toss, and an eyeball spoon relay. We brought mac n cheese, homemade candied apples and caramel apples. Aunt Melanie made a spider cake and brought candy necklaces for the kids to make. The ate so much junk we all brought the necklaces home to finish. Today after nap we made our necklaces. OK, well I helped Aidan and Andrew helped Logan. Logan preferred his candy off the necklace. :-)
