Finally Finished!!

We finally got the nursery completed and ready for the new arrival (if only he/she would decide to come out and play). It is based on the Dr Seuss book 'Oh, the Places You'll Go!' The pictures don't really do it justice, but the stripes are yellow and we are still working on some red knobs for under the shelves to hang things on.

Oreos...done right!!

So, Chris decided to introduce Cole to the joy that is eating Oreo's dunked in milk. I have had no part in encouraging this behavior, but Cole now refuses to eat Oreo's without a glass of milk. So tonight after dinner, they were enjoying their new found fun and I decided to capture the moment to share with you guys. Cole doesn't exactly understand the concept, and usually just drops his cookie in the milk and takes bites periodically until it is complete mush (at which time he refuses to eat any more of the cookie). He does, however, finish the milk after he has made a complete mess trying to get his cookies to swim :)

Oh, and no progress on the baby front yet...will keep the updates coming when there is something to update.

Still Waiting...

No, we have not had the baby yet...we finally managed to pack our bags and make arrangements for someone to watch Cole when the big day arrives, but we are still waiting. Our due date is one week from tomorrow, so the calendar has been cleared and now we just get to sit around and twiddle our thumbs. The nursery is still a work in progress, although it is fully functional. We are simply working on adding some final accents and then it will be 'completed'. Cole seems to sense that something is about to happen, but I am pretty sure he doesn't realize that we will be bringing a baby home. The kitties have also figured out what is going on, but they have a leg up since the last time all this stuff was in the family room, Cole came home. We have not yet picked out a name for the little one, but we have a list ready for discussion once we can see him/her.

Other than waiting, not much newsy around here to report. :-)

Pedicure...

As many of you know, we are heading to St Louis for Laura & Bill's wedding this weekend. I am in the wedding and in preparation was planning to do something with my toenails. I contemplated doing them myself, but considering it is difficult enough to see my feet much less sit in a position to be able to paint my toenails, I decided I would simply go get a pedicure... After mentioning this idea to Chris, the response was "that's 1GB worth of memory" for his computer (which he has been wanting to order lately). So I offered that he could give me the pedicure instead and save the money (knowing that I still have one day left to go and repair the damage if necessary).

Needless to say, I am currently sitting on the couch while he is trying to paint my toenails with the flood lights from the garage shining on my toes!! I will post an update later with whether we ended up with memory or a pedicure :-)
