Pumpkin Patch

Today Liz found out about this pumpkin patch so we took the kids over to check it out. It was really fun, they had a hay ride, a hay maze, and all kinds of different fun booths. So the kids had fun.

Update with the Doctor

I had my 36th week appointment yesterday and I'm dilated to a 4 and his head is clear down at my cervix. So Dad and Modena you might be hearing from me soon!

Gardner Village

Our annual trip to Gardner Village. The kids love going and spending time with their cousins. But Liz and I decided that next time we are coming alone so we can actually go inside the shops.

some more projects..

I decided I better get all my painting projects out of the way before the baby comes. So I've been busy these past couple of weeks finishing the rooms up. Now I'm in the process of getting Andee's room downstairs all finished.

After:

Well I started looking through my decorating books and got an idea to re-do my kitchen. So I ran down and got some paint and started sanding my cabinets. I'm so glad I have a husband who just smiles and sits back and lets me go through with all my crazy ideas. Now that it's all done, I'm really excited for the outcome. To make it complete, I need to take the wall paper off. And new countertops...so probably for my 40th birthday that will be my present to me.
