and I'm DONE!

My massive "to-do" list is done! This baby can now arrive and we will be set. My delivery is all set up for a week from TODAY!! We are very excited.

Let's see...well the hubs is officially done with his school, so now we are working on stuff and soaking up every second of family time we can before he heads off to his new job.

We've had a really great weekend here in our little world. For some reason I can't remember much of Saturday...probably has something to do with the fact that my brain is shrinking - seriously y'all...it's true - something to do with the last trimester of pregnancy. Sunday we went to church, and then to a St. Patrick's Day parade. We met up with a few friends, and it was a lot of fun. The kids had a blast and really...who knew there were so many bagpiper groups?? Today the big kid had the day off school, so we took them to this indoor playplace/cafe and let them run around for a few hours. Good times. It was also cold and rainy so after that we spent the rest of the day lounging around the house, watching movies, and goofing around. So nice.

Last weekend I finished up my last sewing project. I decided to make this cute playtime mat that I came across awhile ago. Master seamstress...I am not. But at least it came out looking the way it was supposed to, and if you don't look too closely at the stitching it's not too shabby. I'm hoping my little one won't be too critical of it :). But I do love the fabrics that I found, and to me it just looks "happy".

Here are a few pictures, but you might want to check out the link...their pictures come complete with cute toddler eating a snack on her mat...I currently have no such toddler.

All rolled up
unrolled
With that, I'm off. We're getting the boys to bed so I'm going to go join in on story time, and get some snuggles from my favorite little guys. Hope you all have a great week!

tickeld pink

Happy St. Valentines Day everyone! Anyone out there doing anything special today?? We usually stick pretty low-key around here for the Valentines Day. This AM I made my two little Valentines pancakes to start off the day, and the hubby got his choice of what I made for dinner/dessert tonight. And of course lots of hugs and kisses all around, but really that's not any different than any other day here.

I've been a busy bee at the sewing machine these days.

I still haven't started the nursing cover, I need to make another trip to the fabric store before I begin, so I started on some bibs and burp-cloths - and I have to say they turned out REALLY cute.

They are not quite done, but here is what I have so far.


The bibs


The burp-cloths


Cute no? I still need to find something to cover up the clips that go with the bibs, but that's just a matter of getting out the glue gun. I'm really excited about these, and they were actually pretty easy. If you are interested, you can find the pattern for both HERE. My sewing machine and I don't get along all that well, and I swear it has something against pretty stitches, but other than that, I think they turned out pretty cute.

Alright, well that's it for me today. My little projects are pretty much all I have been doing in my "free" time. We had a nice weekend as a family, and this coming weekend is when we have the boys big brother day planned! I can't wait, it's going to be a lot of fun.

Hope you are all doing well out there!
