Last Weekend

Last weekend Jason's parents came in to town to help us start getting things ready for their grandchild. Jason and I had put on a coat of Kilz the week before over the gold color we had painted it when we moved in. So on Saturday Jason and his dad spent the day painting it a new light green color called Christopher Robin's Swing. =) Yes, it is a Disney paint from Home Depot. Are you surprised? These aren't exactly before and after shots, but it will give you a better idea of the colors before and after.

The yellow room -


The green room, with tape still on the walls -


So just a little softer and it will go much better with the pink and browns in her nursery. =)

Jason's mom and I went shopping during this time to start procuring some necessities that Isabella will need soon. I bought some baby detergent and butterflies for the wall and Rhonda bought a changing table pad and covers for it, the cutest brown and pink polka dotted dress, a cute ceramic cross from Lone Star Baby, some onesies, letters that spell her name for the wall...have I mentioned that this kid is going to have some grandparents who spoil her? =) She is very lucky.

Saturday night we went out to dinner at the always excellent Houston's and Sunday Jason and I finished up with a coat of a creamier (basically half a shade darker than white) color on the white walls and did touch ups on the green. I personally think it looks great and that is one more thing to check off our list of never ending to dos lately.

This coming weekend my parents and Amanda and Jared are coming up to help. The boys are going to put the crib together and hang some blinds and fun stuff like that while the girls go buy the bedding and do some more crucial shopping. =) We also have to get carpet very soon in the nursery and office/guest bedroom. So much to do and the time is getting less and less! Will post more later when we have more done!
