feeding the duckies

Yesterday Mommy and Aunt Bethie took Annalise and Sean back to Kuiper’s Family Farm for more apples (yum!) and another photo shoot in the pumpkin patch. Annalise and Sean picked these two pumpkins out to bring home. Today, Annalise wanted to decorate the pumpkins with stickers. As she was decorating the big one, she said that “this one is for Grandma”.

“they are going to be so happy when they come home” –Annalise

When she was done, she said she needed one for Papa, so she decorated the small one for Grandpa. She was very happy with her work (she even let Sean help, a little) and said “they are going to be so happy when they come home”. 

Happy Halloween Grandma and Grandpa!

Well…it’s done!

Last weekend we finished the baby’s room. The design comes straight from the Pottery Barn Kids site’s “Circus Friends” room. Judging from the kid’s reactions (Annalise: “the baby’s room is pretty, Daddy!”) and occassional request to “go play in the baby’s room,” I’d say it was a hit with them.

The ceiling fan was on clearance for $50 at HD!

The dresser is my own design. I’ve posted details of it’s design and construction on my woodworking blog. You can also read a bit more on the room here.

I’m hoping to start on the crib the week my parents arrive to meet our new son…about one month to go now!
