Football season has begun and we have season tickets this year! wde. I was extremely hot for the first game against Utah State. Not to mention the walk to the stadium on preggo...B loves to sit low on my right side so it was super uncomfortable making the hike to Jordan-Hare. We opted to stay home today since we have the kids and have other home projects...speaking of which...
Over the long Labor Day weekend, Russ and I embarked on the adventure of "get this house painted." The walls are still white from the previous owner; I'm sure there is no need to mention how white walls, animals, and children clash--Big Time! Anyway, we decided that this month we will dedicate ourselves to painting inside and next month (October) will be nursery set up! We trucked up to Lowe's and picked out a pale yellow and proceeded to paint the kitchen. It looks marvelous--not too yellow but yellow enough to notice!
Since we had 3/4 gallon left, I took it upon myself to paint the guest/children bathroom in the same color. We have green accents in there so the pale yellow compliments beautifully. It was my top secret project yesterday and I surprised McChuckles with a freshly painted bathroom (good wifey, right?!). I was super proud of my handiwork! :)
In other news, I went to a consignment sale last night. Let me just start off by saying these women are some power shoppers! I pulled up on time and the line was already around the building to get in. They all had their arms loaded down with empty bins and baskets, ready to hit the sales. I wandered around aimlessly, not really knowing what I needed for B. I feel somewhat clueless when baby shopping: what brand is most durable, is this product a waste of money, will I really use this??? I finally settled on a seat that vibrates, a Noah's Ark picture frame, and a smocked outfit. BTW, I totally need to learn how to smock b/c I could not only make my own but charge others an arm and a leg!
PS: Russ and I finally found bedding for the nursery. Montgomery has a cute little store in Eastchase that sells a whole bunch of high end nursery items. They are fairly pricey but we found our stuff on mega clearance! I was so proud of us. In reality, I wanted to avoid a nursery theme but this stuff was too cute to pass up. I am sure we will now buy every turtle item possible, ha. Anyways, it even came with wall art, valance, mobile, and throw pillows! Now I just have to be patient and wait for October to get here...
PPS: Look at this Lazy Bones kitty hamming it up for the camera! 
particular one b/c it seemed gender neutral so that I may reuse if we are blessed with more 'chillrens' in the future. But now I see turtles everywhere I go. Coincidentally, our ultrasound tech even calls his peepee a "turtle." Do you see it??? lol
oint to a c-section some time in early-mid December. On a positive note, we get more ultrasounds and a scheduled birth! Hope you enjoy the new pics of Bennett!!!
