Just some randomness to catch up on (backward style)...
I finished Everett's room! Not that I did a ton to it. I ordered a new crib bedding set (argyle and stripes) that I really love; painted some mattes from pink and yellow to brown and blue; bought this huge letter 'E' from JoAnn and painted it to match the bedding set. I'm really happy with the result and can't believe that we are REALLY going to have a baby to put in that crib very soon! I think he'll have to be in my arms for it to really sink in. But we are ready for him!

It's been really rainy the past few days. Today the kids and I were running errands and Max wanted to pretend that we were going camping and looking for a spot. I thought of the tiny tent we have in the garage and set it up when we got home. We spent several hours in there today; it's been just the distraction and time together we all needed.
still in exercise clothes...lookin' real hot...don't care a bit

Last night I put the kids to bed and they had been down for about 1/2 hour without a peep. All of a sudden I hear Kelly yelling, "Mommmyyyyy! Mommmmyyyy!!! My legsies!" I went in and found that her pj pants had ridden up to her knees and she needed my help pulling them down. So, so particular. She can't stand when her sleeves ride up on her arms either. And when I put her in her booster chair for meals - if her shirt rides up in the back she yells, "My body! My body!" until I pull her shirt down in the back. If she wasn't so cute it would be quite annoying.

We were given a huge bin of hundreds of tiny soldiers last year. I wasn't quite ready to break them out because I envisioned how many times I would be picking them up. However, they were "accidentally" left out where Max saw them (I say "accidentally" because Ty has been wanting to give them to Max for a while and he "happened" to leave them on the steps where Max could see them). But it's been super fun for Max to line up huge armies AND he's been pretty great about picking them up. He spends hours with them sometimes. *sigh* Ty was right.

During Ty's week off between Christmas and New Years, he planned a Basketball Training Camp for Max. Kelly and I went for moral support. It was very cute to watch. They just may have another camp this weekend.
Stretching out before all of the hard work starts
