My funny husband!

Last night, while cooking dinner, I hear Chris from the living room:
"Hey, how do you rotate an image?"
Maybe this GRAPHIC DESIGN schooling isn't paying off...

A few nights ago, in the car:
"Chris! Stop picking your nose. Do we need a humidifier in our room?"
"No way! I'm not spending money on a humidifier when God gave me a finger for free."

I promise, he doesn't always pick his nose. Just when other people aren't around :)

Girliness

I'm pretty sure Chris knew what he was getting in to when he married me. He knows I'm a girly girl. He knows I desire to do (and be!) all things homemaker. He knows pink is my favorite color. So, in my defense, should he really have been surprised when I came home with a sack full of fabrics that look like this?

I don't think so. His daughter is after all at least 50% of me. Certainly she will be so glad that the first years of her life were spent in a pink-zebra print room :)

But all joking aside, I really think this room will end up being super cute! I'm planning on sewing and crafting almost everything on my own. Here are a few of those things:

• paint the crib
• paint the cradle
• make crib sheets
• make bedskirt
• make crib bumper
• sew a shabby quilt
• blankets
• curtain swags
• new lampshades
• crib mobile

Oh, did I mention she's due in 4 short months? And that I work 40 hours a week? And that the holidays are coming up? I may or may not be nuts. We'll see! Anyway, I found a pretty awesome blog with patterns for almost everything that I don't know how to sew, and also some pretty cute patterns for burp cloths and other such things. This will be fun!

Menu Plan - 3 Weeks!

We got some much needed time away from Topeka a few weeks ago. Chris has become an expert at building these:

Not bridges, but fire. He makes one in our fireplace whenever it's going to dip below 45 or so. Keeps us warm! I wonder if his cousin Jake showed him how? ;)

Well here goes THREE WEEKS worth of menu plans. Sounds nuts doesn't it?

Monday: Meatball Subs

Tuesday: Twice baked bacon potatos

Wednesday: Lentil sloppy joes

Thursday: Biscuits and gravy

Friday: Shihshkabobs (grilled by the hubs)

Saturday: Couples Conference, a.k.a. something DELICIOUS

Sunday: Chicken Fajitas

Monday: Meatloaf and mashed potatos

Tuesday: Lasagna, green salad

Wednesday: Chicken casesar salad (haven't cleared this with Chris...)

Thursday: BBQ Chicken Pizza

Friday: Pancakes and bacon (a la Chris)

Saturday: Leftovers

Sunday: Baby Shower!

Monday: Chili and cornbread

Tuesday: Southwest Chicken Salad

Wednesday: Roast and potatos, carrots

Thursday: Spaghetti and salad

Friday: French toast

Saturday: KU Game!

Sunday: Leftovers

Whew! That's a relief. Wish me luck!

A really cute kid I know!

My sister brought this over last night:

Isn't he just the most adorable dinosaur ever? He gets it from his adorable mommy.

That's actually not true at all. He looks just like his dad.

But she is so cute! And so is he. There must be a correlation :)

Fittingly so, this little dino had his first taste of candy last night. His bedtime is straight up 8pm, and he will remind you if it's a minute past! Needless to say, by 8:15, he was wailing. The pacifier brought no comfort. So what did? A raspberry tootsie pop. Given to him by no one other than grandpa Jay. He had only a few licks, but it definitely calmed him down. He contentedly stayed for about 10 more minutes. Glassy eyes and all!
