Happy Friday, friends! I’m linking up with Karli for OHF and sharing a few highlights from our fun and busy week!
ONE.
So this happened on Tuesday…
It was only a 2 hour “get acquainted” day, but I still managed to get a little sappy about it. Arden, on the other hand, walked right in like she’d done it every day of her life…and came out with the biggest smile ever! She told me she played on the playground and ate Cheezits. Sounds pretty sweet to me!
And in case you were wondering, she didn’t go to school barefoot…although she was pretty close at one point! Being the awesome mom I am, I put her in shoes that were apparently too small (but reallllly cute) for church on Sunday–and she came out with a little blister that has rocked our world all week. Needless to say, the close-toed shoe rule at school brought on some drama…but she ended up wearing socks under her crocs.
And for her sake, I didn’t document that nerdiness…
TWO.
We did a 3D ultrasound this week, and all I can say is that I’m so IN LOVE. I just can’t stop staring at this picture…even if it does look like he’s carved out of a block of cheese 😉
9.5 more weeks!
THREE.
In other baby news, we (and by we I mean Chris…he likes to paint for some strange reason) finished the nursery walls. Hooray for navy!!! I’m so happy with the way it turned out.
We also set up the crib and moved in some tubs of my nephew’s old clothes, which I think made Hazel realize that something was going on.
“Oh please…not another one!”
FOUR.
On Monday I got a call saying our kitchen chairs, which we’d been waiting on for a month, were now backordered until January. JANUARY!!!! The sales person tried to talk me into coming back in to make another selection, but I just couldn’t let go of the table…so I decided to search for new chairs instead.
Now that was Monday…and on Thursday, 6 of these beauties were delivered.
Wayyy better than waiting until January…and I actually like them more than the originals! I think they give the table a whole new look and keep it from being too matchy-matchy.
My chair model seems to be a fan too…
A special thanks to my dear friend Darci, who dealt with all of my crazy chair emails/texts and helped me to pick out the right color for our house. Thank goodness for that girl and her impeccable taste!
FIVE.
Tomorrow is the big day. My baby turns TWO.
Oh my. It seems like we went from this…
to this…
…in the blink of an eye.
So while there’s much to do, and a party to throw…my goal this weekend is to slow down and take it all in…and just enjoy our sweet two-year-old.
And let her eat as many donut holes as her little heart desires 🙂
Hope you enjoy your weekend too!
XO
