a month

it's been quite some time since my last blog. yes, the fact that we're having a boy has totally set in and we are so excited! i've gone through gavin's old clothes and got a lot of things ready for this new babe. but... since gavin was born in june with the heat and humidity, not a whole lot will be working for the new addition. but that's perfectly okay, it gives me a great opportunity to go shopping :)

we've been so busy with little projects here and there. we finally have NEW carpet in the two rooms downstairs (gavin and the new babe) and i love it! omg! we found this amazing man who has been laying carpet in the litchfield area for almost 45 years and he is so cheap and so so so good! we scored on the carpet, and the labor so now we're ready to do the upstairs beast, our bedroom. our bedroom has been by far the most neglected since we've moved in- almost three years ago. we've done nothing to it in the least bit. a new bed and bedding is pretty much it. but enough with home improvement talk!

gavin and i spent the weekend out at the farm finding, cutting and creating new "masterpieces" for our autumn/christmas decor! everything is so fabulous and so incredibly cheap, free! dan's pretty excited that instead of us buying all this crazy evergreen mumbo jumbo from turks i've already gotten it. i made three grapevine wreathes for the doors that i just need to add some finishing touches to and then hang. if you or anyone you know has grapevine i would be more than happy to take the pesky tangled vine off your hands ;) we also went to walmart yesterday and picked up a bunch of gold and silver bulbs for us to make but yes, what else, another wreath for closer to christmas time. pretty excited about it, not going to lie. i can't wait to get all the christmas decor ready and put up, but i think it might be just a tad too early.

this week my plan is to focus on all the DIY baby decor that i've found on my favorite new website. tomorrow while gav's at daycare i plan on going to hutch to get some new fabrics and paint to start the projects.... which might take me quite some time to finish, so i better get started. thankfully, dan's totally on board with these projects as well, and is ready to help out- which is great cause i can't sand or do everything by myself. my goal is to have babes room almost finished by christmas so i can focus my last two months with gavin on solely gavin. i just kind of realized that when i go into labor i'll more than likely be by myself, with gavin, and i have no idea what we'll do. i think i'll have to grandmas and daycare to try to come up with a plan, yikes.

so thats our life, well more like my life in a quick little update. lots and lots of projects and lots of fun things planned for the upcoming weekends. it's thanksgiving and the new breaking dawn movie all in close to one week time span... who's excited!? THIS GIRL!
