Trip to the Grocery Store...

Pregnant Brain

Art Project

 For the boys' ocean themed bathroom.  I'm really happy with how these turned out!  It took MANY tries to get hand prints that weren't smeared.  Keeping little boys who have paint all over their hands from touching anything else isn't easy, either!  Thankfully, we had Daddy's help and a bucket of warm water on hand to rinse off with as soon as we were done.  Joshua is so proud of his artwork and has to show it off to everyone who visits!  They certainly aren't perfect, but they are definitely a special keepsake!

36 Weeks

 Wow...baby is 36 weeks along already!  I can't believe next week it will be his birth month!  It seems like you wait so long and when you are first pregnant and saying, "Baby is due in September..." that it's ages away, but suddenly, *POOF!* baby is almost here!

Had an OB appointment this morning and everything looks great.  Next week we have a sonogram to estimate baby's birth weight.  I'm guessing over 8 lbs. again, but we'll see!

Still feeling great.  Have had to tone down the walking a bit due to this HEAT - holy shamoly - where is the 70-degree weather we were having a couple weeks ago?! - and the fact that I get sore more easily.  I'm currently still able to walk about 4 miles, which I don't think is too shabby for 36 weeks pregnant!  Taking a break today, though...near 100 degrees and this humidity is just no good!

Most of our household projects are getting checked off the list, so I'm feeling much more prepared than I was a couple weeks ago.  I'm hoping to be able to just relax and enjoy our last few weeks as a family of 4.  Then let the craziness begin!  :-)

Took Joshua to preschool registration this morning...he starts next Wednesday.  I just cannot believe he's so big already.  I know he's going to love it, but I'm sure I'll be a blubbering mess next week!

I guess that's about all the news on our end...happy Wednesday, all!

Krys

Brothers

Luke has been sleeping in the bottom bunk in his and Joshua's room for a couple months now, but I don't think I ever shared pictures.  They LOVE being in the same room together!

Anybody else thankful it's FRIDAY?!?!  Happy weekend, everyone!

Recent Projects

Here are a couple recent decorating projects that have been keeping me from the blog...the boys' room is DONE!  Mike always teases me when I say that, because I say I'm done decorating a room and then I find something else I want to do, LOL.

 

I'm really happy with how their room has turned out...now on to all my other household projects!

Visit to Iowa

A couple weeks ago, we made the trip out to NW Iowa to visit my parents.  It was our last big trip before this new little guy arrives!

Grandpa had some landscaping work to do, and Joshua loved "helping!"

We headed out to the local apple orchard one morning.  They have the coolest area in the back for kids called the Back Forty Playground.  There were so many fun activities for the boys.  We actually got there before they were open, but they let us explore anyway.  It worked out in our favor, because we were the only people there!

There were even games for the big kids!  ;-)

Climbing Tire Mountain.

 What a fun weekend!  Can't wait to hit up our local orchards in a few weeks for apples and pumpkins!
