EvY at HomE

I unexpectedly had the week off work having two jobs go away. We'd spent last weekend working on bigger projects and this week was spent on the other to-dos things and also just hanging and napping. I would feel guilty about the almost daily naps but are you kidding me? I'm pregnant and once this kid is born I may never nap the same way again. Matt's sister and kids are in town so we're heading down to the in-laws to hang out for the weekend. Sunday is a bridal shower for a future cousin in Dana Point so bring on the ladies in hats or whatever it is we wear at bridal showers. Have a great Woz-y weekend. See you Monday, still no work. Hopefully something comes up soon.

This room has been a source of shame for the past few months and rarely photographed but since we got the bed, moved the ugly dresser out, and installed some blinds, it ain't half bad. I would like very much to have it painted but ugh, that's a task and a half. I did buy a few paint sample pots so that's a step in the right direction no? This room is really large. We are very blessed. Mega grande bookcases. We love the triplets. We do need new nightstands though, these are remnants from the olden days. Our beautiful sanctuary.

Ah, that is the sound of a crazy woman feeling relieved that once she gets a mattress, her baby has a place to sleep if nothing else. Assembling it was definitely a two person operation, one held a rail while the other screwed it into place. After a few minutes, ta-da, crib. I got some curtains for the room and yes, they're red, like the queen of hearts. I think I want to add some blackout lining to it, just because the red creates a funny glow in the room. Shuffled the cabinet around a little to make room for some pretty things. We put great-grandpa Plank's old minor league hat and Matt's little league glove. And this yellow radio belonged to grandma and great grandma. Here's the little wonderland accessories: white rabbit, drink me bottle, little box for jewels, jar for baby bows, and a couple of special editions of Alice in Wonderland. The little box and tree will be for headbands and such. Aww her wittle golden jellies. Over the changing ...

In addition to putting away the clothes that won't fit me for the next few months I did the annual swap of putting away winter/fall stuff and busted out the spring/summer stuff. I went extra nuts this time and pulled out every single one of the 12 boxes I have so as to leave no doubt of clothing that fits. And here's my magical kingdom where I spend my mornings. We previously had a different dresser in the main part of the bedroom but we swapped it for two of these dressers and Matt moved his stuff into my old dresser and so all my clothes are in one place. Here's the off season stuff and stuff that won't fit a pregnant body. Sparkly flats, heels on top. I used to have all my shoes up high to spare them from cats and dogs but since they're not allowed in here anymore I can keep everything down low. Warm weather friendly flats. The Nikes. Dresses from down below. All the jewelry hangs here too.  As well as the hats and purses....
