Friday Ben layed in bed pretty much all day getting over the last of our cold. I really wanted to get some stuff for the nursery and also Christmas, so since my Dad and brothers were out playing laser tag all day, Mom and I went to Tallahassee to go shopping. We went to Michael's Craft store and I got some stuff for DIY X-mas presents. We ventured into Old Navy, where I bought Finn a cute striped onesie for next winter. We made our way back to Hobby Lobby where I got extremely frustrated with myself. I was going to get fabric for cradle bedding but when I got there, I was overwhelmed with sewing ideas that I wanted to leave the fabric section. But Mom helped me decide what I wanted. Thank goodness, too, because it would have been put off another month. It's a really soft solid brown microfiber with raised polka dots. The ribbon to tie it to the cradle is brown on one side and blue on the other. I usually hate the cliche brown and blue for boys, but it was pretty. And since the cradle is going in our bedroom, the brown will match our bed nicely.
Then we ventured into the basket section. Again I got frustrated and Mom found the nicest ones, I wavered, put them in the buggy, and told her if we didn't walk away, I was going to change my mind again.
That was the end of Hobby Lobby, even though Mom did get a really cute organizer and a cool shelf.
We then went to Target where I got my first pair of maternity jeans! I am still using the belle band, but sometimes it just gets a little uncomfortable, so I got a nice pair of dark wash jeans and a pair of brown flats. Also, I got Finn a lime green fleece jacket with navy trim for next winter.
We came home and went to Mom's house for supper. I made lasagna over there and we all ate together and played a game of scattergories. It was fun, but we were all extremely tired!
Saturday, Everyone came over to my house, including Jonny, for supper. We had yummmy food and played another game of Apples to Apples. That night Thomas and Avery spent the night, so when everyone else left, we looked up funny videos and played phase ten. Avery won!
The next morning ( more like afternoon) we woke up and went to Mom's for lunch with all of us and my grandparents. We watched the walking dead with Avery and Thomas, said goodbye to Thomas, and that was the end of our weekend. whew!
It was really nice to get spend time with Thomas. I want Finn to know him as well as he knows Avery and the rest of the family. So I'm hoping we can work something out on skype or something. I think everyone had a good holiday.Ben and I did. And Ben and I are finally COLD FREE!!!
