Painting, Part 2

Well, it's done!  ...and beautiful!  Nicole had a laser level and she and I taped everything off for the stripe.  The men painted.  Then, we made up the crib so we could see how it all looked and it really pulled it together.  Matt and I are feeling really good about how much we got done AND how it looks.  Here are some pictures:

My Rainbow

I stole this idea from my Mom's blog.  Here is my Rainbow:

Your rainbow is strongly shaded yellow.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What is says about you: You are a joyful person. You appreciate optimism. You're good at getting people to like you.

Painting, Part 1

Today is Painting Day!  "We" are painting the baby's room.  Our friends Nicole and Derick are my heros, helping us out.  The fumes are already pretty bad in there, and they just started, so I'm pretty much banned other than checking in.  My big responsibility is food today.  We started with doughnuts and are having yummy queso for lunch.  Abby has gotten to help some, which she is so excited about.  Here are some Phase 1 pictures.  More to come soon!

Playing Wii

Last night, we had a bit of a family night playing Wii.  Abby loves it and Matt is really good at letting her "help" him.  We golfed and bowled, and then Matt and Abby played tennis.  Now, there is a secret, but you can't tell Abby.  When Matt plays tennis with her, we give her a controller to play with, but really (shhh, don't tell) only Matt is playing.  Abby swings her little heart out and really thinks that she is the only controlling those players.  It is the only game we really do it on.  Everything else she really does play.  Just keep it a secret, okay?

Mac and Cheese

For Thanksgiving, I made a huge thing of baked macaroni and cheese, particularly because I thought Abby would definitely eat it, not to mention that I love mac and cheese.  So, the recipe I used has you put cracker crumbs on the top of it, which I really like.  However, when it was time to eat Thanksgiving dinner, I was told by my three year old that she didn't like macaroni and cheese that had crackers on it.  I give up, right?

Okay, fast forward to last night's church pitch in.  We get Abby a little macaroni and cheese (that strongly resembles the stuff I made) on her plate.  She eats it!  After a question or two from me about her food, she informed me that she doesn't like macaroni and cheese with crackers on it from our house, but she DOES like macaroni and cheese with crackers on it from other people's houses.  Now, I truly give up!
