Miscellany Monday


Miscellany Monday @ lowercase letters

{1} Today is my EIGHTH anniversary!!!!! Eight years ago today I married my best friend and I still feel like I'm playing "house" some days. Marriage is both a far greater challenge and blessing then what I ever imagined. I'm so thankful for a wonderful husband and father to my children. We're going to celebrate with a date night on Friday using a Groupon 'cause being frugal is our style. :) I'm super excited for our date though; it's much needed after a crazy couple of weeks and Ems will have a great time at her Nana & Papa's.

{2} I've started seeing my belly dance around a little bit when Everett kicks. So far I have to say that he is far more active then his sister was at this point. I think he's going to be a busy boy, just like his daddy. I've always said that if we ever had a son, I hope he is just like Brett and I have a feeling I may have gotten my wish. :) I could just stare at my belly for hours when he's kicking, looking for those slight movements. It's not dramatic enough for someone else to notice but I can see it. I'm 25 weeks today.

{3} I've found a new activity to keep Emersyn occupied while I'm drying my hair. She gets soooo needy when I'm trying to get ready so I decided to let her indulge in one of her favorite things, lotion. I let her put lotion on my legs while I dry my hair. It's a win/win really....I get to dry my hair and have moisturized legs and Ems gets to play with lotion (that I dispense of course).

{4} We found the fabric that we're going to decorate Everett's nursery around!

I'm so excited!! I'm also getting the feeling that I may have blogged about this before. Hmm...oh well! With this fabric, we can keep the nursery green which will save a lot of time and money. I'm going to do navy and yellow accents too....very fun!

{5} We've also decided on this quilt for Emersyn's room!

I've added these items to Everett's registry on PBK and will buy them when I close out the registry and get 10% off, score!

Love the fabric for Everett's nursery! And I don't know if I have said this before, but Everett has been on my list of baby names for years! Love it!

Happy Anniversary! 2 things:
1. Boys are way more active than girls...I swear! Andrew never stops talking and goes a million miles an hour!
2. I still have that bedding if you are interested. It would go well with the owl colors that you picked out.

I totally LOVE that owl fabric! Where did you find it?

That is such a great idea about the lotion. I have Ashlin pick out my clothes sometimes while I'm in the shower to give her something to do or have her bring me stuff (that I don't really need-towel, soap).

I hope you have a great anniversary celebration this weekend!!!!!!!
