the little things

still scrapping!

I haven't gotten around to sharing some of the latest pages for the albums lately like I've wanted to, so I thought it'd be fun to post today!

used some older embellishments and it was FUN!

Grayson REALLY loves himself some Veggie Tales!

Not sure what happened to that photo as I took the photo OF the layout. Haha. It doesn't look like that IRL! I treasure that photo though...and that lovely day Nate and I had!

One especially for Nate. He loved it and I knew I had done my job! ;) 

My life is Blessed. :)

Happy weekend to you!

everyone keeps asking

"when is that baby getting here?!"

Trust me, peeps. If I knew, I'd tell ya! ;)

I also love when people tell me when he CAN or CAN'T come! haha.  I'm sure I'm guilty of this too, with friends or family when they've been expecting, but my how different it is when it's you! haha!

I wish I could just pick his birthdate and be done. But, alas, we haven't reached that quite yet.

It could still be another 2 weeks. Oy. Just come out already, Grayson!! We're ALL ready!

My days have been filled with family, phone calls, church, my last day at the Pregnancy Care Center for a while (*tear*), not making dinner, BLT's, icecream, the usual aches and pains, pressure, laughs, texts, scrapbooking, some TV (but, honestly it's just boring these days!), walking, jumping jacks (what a sight that was I'm sure!), bubble baths, facebook, picking up, washing clothes, and trying to sleep.

I'm just ready for this baby! 

...have I mentioned that lately? ;)

(page I whipped up last night while Nate organized his newest Hot Wheels finds!)

almost complete.

 

The list maker in me is mighty happy these days to only see just a couple little things that still need I'd like to have done by the time Grayson arrives.  

Here's how it looks 17 days out from Due Date:

-clean cabinets with Murphy's Oil (Nate says he'll get on this soon. Tomorrow maybe?)

-pack Nate's bag (electronics too)

-crib/dresser/nursery assembly

-hang shelves and art on nursery walls

-purge/clean pantry

-oil change in my car

-recall check on my car

-clean my car

-install carseat

-sweep all ceilings and corners

-scrub tub

-lay out linens, etc for Sandy's stay while in hospital

-buy "extra" food items needed for freezer meals

-put new shower curtain liner up

-clean up scrap space and upstairs space

-make room in kitchen cabinets for bottles, accessories, cleaning stuff, etc.

-file taxes.

-get caught up on budget (pay bills ahead where we can)

-tighten all dresser/drawer knobs

-get side door fixed

Only 4 more things to do!  Yey!  It feels so good.  I'm also hoping to give our house a quick "clean up" even though I've been trying to keep it as neat and tidy as can be to avoid having to worry about it being clean for baby. (if you knew my mother, you'd understand my OCD with this! ;))

Something not on this list, but that I also did was go ahead and put some spring decor up since Grayson is set to be an April baby, I didn't want to have look at snowmen/winter-type decor and worry about getting some Spring stuff up, so to the attic I went and set out a few of my favorite things on my favorite table!

I scrapped last night. Week #36 layout for Grayson's book! I'm planning on doing Week #37's layout tonight.  Thanks to a 2.5 hour nap this afternoon, I am finally feeling a little bit "energized" after a night full of mild contractions and lots of cramping last night. Oy.

Off I go to put some glue to paper!

paper + glue

I have Studio Calico to thank for putting out some awesome kits each month.  Why?  Because honestly, those kits are the only thing that help me scrap these days!  I love them and get so excited and motivated to scrap a page or two as soon as the UPS man drops them  at my side door.  They're fab.u.lous!  

Thought I'd share some of my latest pages.  I know when Grayson arrives I probably won't have the chance to scrap often, at least right away, so along with naps, I'm trying to get in as many pages as I can before he gets here! ;)

My cousin Steph and her new baby boy, Michael. Loving all these baby boys being born into our family!

Nate melts me when I see how much hard work he always puts into anything Grayson-related!  He is so in love with his son already and he's not even here yet! :)

Nothing like a little paper and glue to make for a good week!

Sunday Favorites

What a weekend this has been. Filled with too much drama. SO to cheer myself up, I've decided to list some things that are lifting my spirits today!

New flats. Oh, yes.  I actually got two new pair (and the other pair was FREE!), but can't share the others yet, as I'll be wearing them to my baby shower next weekend. :)

These super cute tags from Shabby Chic Crafts.

Birds. on a branch. I'm smiling. This may belong to Grayson soon if I can get it in a smaller size.

Another meal in the freezer. Honey Chicken.

6 chicken breasts, 2 TBSP Honey, 1 TBSP Soy Sauce, some chopped yellow onion (I use Tastefully Simple Onion Onion).  Mix it altogether in a freezer bag and that's it. YUM!

These are about the only thing I even want to eat right now. With a glass of milk. Gah. I'm limiting myself this week tho. What, with the 3 hour glucose test coming up and all. ;)

A new camera.

Our little home. + the sweet print from my bestie, K. :)

Scrapping a super sweet photo of loved ones.

Getting to relive my child/teen-hood by getting tickets to see these kids...boys...GUYS on July 27th with some girlfriends!  Mom's night out-sounds good already! :)
