Frustration!

Over the weekend we started painting the baby's room - velveteen green because I chickened out and couldn't go with my original color - orange.

So, last night we started pulling the blue tape off the trim (we are drippy painters) and half the paint got pulled up with the tape. I might have to lodge a complaint with my 3M connection (Ellen!). However, I actually think it is our dumb, non-standard house that is getting in the way. We found this sticky, plasticiky surface under the pulled up paint and have deduced that it is either wallpaper glue or there were cracks in the wall that someone sealed with caulk. So we caked on the Kilz last night and hopefully it will stick!

Other than that debacle ... we've only had one other serious setback in the baby room. Tommy tried to open one of the windows and the bottom piece of wood stuck to the bottom of the frame. So it looks like replacement windows are in order for that room.

So, this weekend we have windows on our mind! Replacement and Trimmings! Keep our sanity in your prayers!

It's moving!

This morning was pretty lazy. We laid in bed reading the newspaper and Tommy made french toast. While I was reading the paper, all of a sudden I noticed my belly jumping! It seems that the baby is now getting big enough to pack a good punch.

We also are working on the nursery. My parents brought the crib and dresser/changing table with them from Arizona and they are assembled and in the baby's room. They are great!

We've started our registry and are picking up essentials here and there. Boy these kids need all kinds of gadgets!
