What a whirlwind and its only THURSDAY!

Sewing project: carseat canopy! this is the finished result

Here is the another view of the canopy and the contrasting fabric on the other side

Here is a close up of the fabrics

Freezer meals! our top drawer in our freezer is completely full (and organized nicely)

Pumpkin chocolate chip bread- yum yum!

Starting to paint the nursery!

Lentil's room is painted! here is her crib with her bedding (we'll be changing out the bumpers to breathable kind when she moves into her crib)

A close up of the bedding, somewhat girly but still modern and funky!

Another view of her bedding and some of her stuffed animals

(just in the crib for fun for right now)

Nathan taping off the guest room- this was his first time painting a room- he did AWESOME!

Me helping to paint- I did the middle of the walls, Nathan had to do up high and down low.

All done! Nathan picked the color and everyone loves it!

(I guess living with an artist is rubbing off)

This week has been super crazy busy for us! We've accomplished so much, which feels really good, but the sore muscles feel not so good. Nathan and I painted the guest room Saturday night and cranked out the whole room in 2 hours. My aunt Shelley and uncle Curt came down and had a "getaway" weekend, we had some fun date nights. Curt left on Sunday and Shelley stayed with us to help us with some projects (she just left this morning).

Monday we grocery shopped and cranked out 18 freezer meals. Tuesday we cranked out another 6 and painted the nursery and put the bedding in. Thats 24 meals in two days! (22 now since we ate two to try them out!) plus we froze cookie dough and loaves pumpkin chocolate bread for treats. These freezer meals will come in handy after the baby comes and I'm so grateful for Shelley's freezer meal knowledge- I learned so much!

Tuesday and Wednesday we also did a lot of shopping, picking up odds and ends for the nursery, painting, and getting stuff ready for the baby to come (it really helps having someone who has kids telling you helpful hints to make everything easier). Wednesday we also made a carseat cover for Lentil's carseat (ok so I did more watching and Shelley did the sewing). These past few days have been such a whirlwind filled with a lot of laughs and busy busy days! (my legs are so sore from all the running around!) THANKS so much for all your help Shelley!
