Nesting

Lance keeps making fun of me for "nesting", but I keep reminding him I'm just doing things that HAVE to be done before baby #3 arrives.  Ok, so cleaning the carpets and dusting all the trim in the house may have been "nesting."  But everything else just needs to get done. 

The kids will have to share a room until we finish the basement, so my talented woodworker husband is constructing a custom made bunk bed for the kids.  So he's not actually a woodworker, but he definitely is good at figuring things out even if it's not something he's done before.  I found some basic bunk bed plans that I knew he could handle.  He thought I was crazy at first, but he's doing an amazing job!  We had to tweak a few more dimensions than planned, so it's taking a bit longer than we hoped.  For now, Mara is able to sleep on the bottom, and hopefully the whole thing will be finished in the next week or so.  More pictures to come soon!

In the meantime, the kids have been working hard on artwork for the walls in their new shared room!

He finally got to graduate to a booster seat.  But after cleaning up the floor after every meal, I really wish he was back in his high chair.

I've gotten most of the baby stuff washed and ready.  The kids love trying out all the baby stuff.  The swing kept them entertained for quite awhile one morning.  I figured it was best to let them try everything out now before there's a real baby for them to practice on!
