Last Saturday we went to the PNE with some friends. Seeing as I'm fairly pregnant, we didn't get a ride pass for me. I love the flume ride and the old roller coaster, but there were too many warnings everywhere..so I just took pics of everyone else..which I will post later. Nate was sweet and said that since I couldn't enjoy the rides, I should enjoy the food. YUM. I had some chicken souvlaki, mini doughnuts, dipping dots (ice cream in the form of little balls), and it was all soooo good.
It got a little warm, so we sat and watched the Super Dogs for a bit. They were totally cute. Everything seems cute, but whatever. And for the first time I toured the prize home. It was quite nice actually. There were some little decor things I noticed that intrigued me - owning a home has given me a greater appreciation for the variety of items that make a house a home.
Speaking of which - the baby room is coming along nicely. We now have a huge dresser we got for free from Doug and the original plan was to paint it ivory, but it might be easier to stain it the same mahogany as the crib. I can't make up my mind as to what I would prefer. I bought new hardward for the knobs - cute dragonflys and handles in a metal smoke colour. Would look really good on an ivory dresser, but to sand and prime and paint is a lot more work than just stripping and staining.
The colours of the wall will be a light pastel green on the bottom and a pale sky blue on the top. It sounds kinda boyish to some, but it will be a theme room and my daughter, if I have one, will be taught to love blue as much as I do...hehe. And I've painted a picture of Nutbrown Hare from the Guess How Much I Love You book that Nate thinks is good enough to frame!! It looks quite storybookish and is on a canvass 16x20. I'm quite proud of it actually. I have 9 weekends left until my due date, so I'm working hard at getting this room done so I can just stand in the doorway and sigh at the empty room until my baby comes and fills it with noises and smells and tears and cuddles.
I would like to thank Nina and Megan for coming over for "sisters night" last night. It was great fun. We had fajitas and cooked brie and watched a movie together. I'm just glad our tenants weren't home because they were both hyper and loud. And Nate got to hang out with some old friends and came home happy to have had some social time.
I think that's it for now... hello to all my "lurkers"

go for the cream, tsp it, prime and paint....I promise. You do not need to sand it, maybe a quick going over...less than 3 minutes. I have painted a lot of free furniture, I even used a can of spray paint and no prime. But no spray paint for momma and baby!
ps I'm glad Nate loves his espresso maker.
All three of my kids (including both girls) had blue nurseries. Navy actually with Debbie Mumm Noah's Ark fabric.
Yeah, I say "boo" to all the blue is only for boys people. Blue rocks my world.
