Well, I was awakened this morning to that wonderful sound of heavy machinery and the beeping of backing up. Apparently our neighbors have some major construction going on over there. Not only did it wake me, but also my son who normally at least sleeps til 8:30 but today was around 7:45. Since then we have been going nonstop with laundry, dishes, picking up toys, and working in the baby room. I said good-bye to green paint and hello to tan today. It looks very nice! It took 2 coats and my mother came up and helped me get it done quickly. I am really impressed with it. I cannot wait to get the room put back together now and  put up the crib bumper and dust ruffle and all that stuff. It will be really cool looking. Then Thursday I am going shopping with a few friends to see if it will be cheaper to buy or make curtains for that room. I am thinking a solid red color for curtains because I think it will go good with the room. We shall see though.

The rest of the week will be busy with miscellaneous tasks. This Saturday my mom, sis-in-law, and myself will be journeying to Lafayette for a baby shower. Then hopefully back in the early afternoon so as to watch the final four basketball games. I never would have thought I would get as interested as I am, but it is pretty enjoyable to watch them. I cannot wait for Spring to get here and STAY! I love seeing the sun come out and feel its warmth, but I really want to feel the warmth outside instead of sitting in my window! I saw its supposed to warm up this weekend, maybe it will stay. Donovan sure loves being outside. And I love being outside with him. I am hoping to get a turtle sandbox for him soon and bring the slide out from the basement for him to play on while we are outside. It should be a fun spring between here and the various parks I want to go to with him! He is really getting lots better about walking on uneven terrain too. Since he was a late walker, it has taken him a bit to get it under control, but he is always going now! Caleb sure loves playing with him too. Makes for fun afternoons when we can spend the time together playing and laughing. It will be so fun to have 2 little ones! I can't wait! We did decide on a name, but I don't think we are going to announce it until the baby is born. :) I am off for a quick power nap before Donovan wakes up....enjoy your afternoons everyone!
