Nursery

So the theme of the nursery is Books :}  Not a big stretch coming from two teachers! :}

There will also be Eric Carle accents as well.  I have been collecting those book characters from Kohls so they will be displayed as well. 

Thanks to my mom for buying the bedding, mobile, lamp shade, and organizer. :}

Movement: Oh yes... he is very active still :}
Food cravings: Chocolate milk and egg rolls--- but NOT together lol  I really wanted to have chocolate milk but looked in the fridge and no syrup- I don't even remember having chocolate syrup in our house lol so I searched on Pinterest and Yahoo! for a recipe using cocoa powder... well that was no help-  I added the powder and it sat on the top so when I stirred it, yep you guessed it, all over my counter :{  I got a shaker and tried again.  It had a weird consistency but hey, it's what I wanted.  Later we did get some syrup at the store :}

First Baby Items

I decorated a journal both the front 

 and the back of course.

Yes I used scrapbook paper and stamps :}

 Our first baby card and first onesie.

(I read the book Belly Laughs- highly recommend it.)

Here's the onesie- Dr. Seuss!!!!!!!

{On a side note: The couple that gave us this- the husband and Randy are in the same fraternity- and when they are new they are called 'new fish' how appropriate!!!}

We have been working on the nursery this week- we tore the carpet out but the guy who put in the carpet, used regular carpet staples, but also used nails and what appear to be regular desk variety staples too!!!  I have no idea and they were a pain for Randy to remove.  We also have to scrape the black yuckiness which was from the back of the carpet.  I have been also removing that plus the border around the top- at least it isn't the whole wall :}

Here were today's garage sale finds today.
I have been thinking about what kind of high chair I wanted to get- I knew no wheels because the dogs would just push the baby around and then one that I could move easy but wouldn't trip on, so when the lady told me about this one, (plus she had a Rottie) it attaches to any able, very simply!!!
A Halloween hat,  a frog sleeper, two frog sleep sacks, a balancing animal sleeper, a frog wrist toy, a cute frog sleeper with froggy feet, a penguin onesie, and 4 books- one of which was Carl the Rott!!! 


Total: $24.50

Shopping with the Girls

I found this random shirt for the baby- and got a Minnesota one for Randy too :}

Check out the feet!

 This is the back!!! how adorable!!!!!!!!

How cute are those socks????? :}
