Daddy-to-be Duties

Mom is keeping the daddy do list filled with lots of things to do. Just when you think you can take a breather, it is already time to move onto the next item. One major room redocration has been completed with the exception of a valance that yet needs to be purchased (okay, so one that works with the window). The baby's room is far from complete, but the room has been cleaned out and the ceiling painted (same time as the spare room). Now we are working to determine the paint color(s) for the room and hopefully get that started in the next week or so. The month of June has no room for redecorating, but time will need to be made even if it is after a late night hockey game... Well, I guess I shouldn't get too carried away. ;)! Our current project is getting ready for a garage sale this weekend to make room for all of the baby stuff. St. Vincent de Paul may be very happy in a few weeks :)!

Another newly added project is to resurface/sand the deck. Mom got a huge sliver deep in the bottom of her foot a week ago. After digging at it for a while, a new set of eyes and hands were brought in. Good news/bad news: Good news is that the sliver was able to be removed and Amy didn't have to go to the doctore. Bad news is that there was a lot of pain to be had and Amy now has a hole in her foot to be healed. Needless to say, the deck needs to be worked on so that mom, dad and especially the baby do not have to go through this again or for a first time.

Now the drive is on/will be shortly to start/complete the painting of the baby's room. With color swatches and material lying on the floor, color schemes have been slightly narrowed. There has been quite a few similarilities between Amy and my cousin Jody's tastes in decorating. Dream Teddy was used for her theme(s) and our furniture is very similar. We are trying hard to at least be able to pick our own paint color... ;)! It is funny to hear the similarities of what Amy and Jody have chosen without seeing each other's rooms. Of course, Jody was first in choosing, so we are just trying to keep up with her LOL!!!
