Spring Break!

 This week, the dogs and I did a lot of hanging around the house and it was lovely.  Well, they did more hanging around and playing with their favorite toys and I did more working around the house, but it's all good.  I had a little time to relax, had lunch with a good friend from high school, hung out with my brothers and got a lot done that I'd been putting off until spring break, which feels so nice.

Our main project for this week was to get the baby's room painted, which, even though it took a lot longer than I was expecting, we did!  I painted the lower parts of the room during the day and then when Landon got home from work he did the higher parts so I wouldn't have to be standing on our ladder to do it.   

 It was by far the most work we've put in to a paint job in either of our houses, but it was so worth it. 

 By Wednesday night, after one of the latest project nights we've had in a long while, we looked around and declared our little baby's room done--or at least the paint job done! :)  And, right before we took this picture, we had decided officially on his name, so we were feeling very excited about everything--and very tired, ha!

 Then, bright and early the next morning I began our last big project for the room (I think!).  This mirror and dresser was given to Landon's dad by his father, and then Landon used it growing up an now we're passing it down to our little boy.  This is what it looked like when we pulled it out of our guest bedroom, where it has lived for the last few years.

Landon sanded it all down and then I spend the vast majority of Thursday sanding the edges and painting.  

It was a long process, but we're loving the finished product!

 

 

Now, we've just got the details and decorations of the room left to figure out--the fun stuff! :)  But for today, we're taking a little break from the room I think.  Landon just left for a crazy long bike ride--which is still so weird to not be on with him-- and I'm working on organizing our spare bedroom/office, which is significantly less fun than getting the nursery ready!  But, it will feel oh so goo when it's finished--that's what I keep having to remind myself of!
