Crown Molding

We can now cross another item off the "crazy neurotic, nesting, pregnant lady" list. Our handy friend Ryan came by today to put up the crown molding in the nursery I decided I could not live without. We left Ryan in the house and headed for the grocery and came home to a speedy finished job. Sami proceeded to then make up a little tune with lyrics like..." crown molding crown molding how did we ever live without you, crown molding, keeps men from balding, and now our daughter will not abuse mushrooms, cause she has crown molding...lalallalalala"

Attack of the Giant Killer Vegetables

The pumpkin has actually grown outside and up the garden fence! It is about 12 feet high!

This zucchini is so big, it is actualy called by a different name..a morrow.

Animal Farm

These pictures kinda suck because I took them through a window at dusk. A famiy of deer we about 10 feet from the house. So cute. But STAY AWAY from the gardens!!!

The chickens and the deer had a stand off. The chickens won.

Under Construction

Well, the nursery has been painted a soft neutral color I like to cal creamy beige (AKA White Russian). The baseboards have been painted a crisp white as well. Now we just need to put up crown molding and install the new French closet doors.

A closet packed full of baby crap! Can't wait to set it all up.

Potatoes......mmmmm

Since I ate lunch today at 3:00, I was not ready for dinner at any normal dinner hour. Sami was actually quite pleased because it meant he could make his favorite "Jenni's not eating this meal" dinner. The best part is that it all came from our garden. Sliced new potatoes, sungold tomatoes, hot peppers, garlic, and marjoram. Then he washed it sown with a glass of
homebrew.

Latest Installments

Per my request, Sami got cracking on installing the new fixtures in the downstairs hall bathroom. After we re-tiled it, the gold light and faucet just were not right anymore...not that they ever were! We kinda picked fixtures with an "old-school" look. They fit in perfectly with the new tile. White is the theme of this commode. He just needs to install a new flusher and I need to stop myself from purchasing a pricey but lovely rug from Anthropologie.

Sami's Handy

Here are my two favorite boys doing a little plumbing to replace the bathroom faucet. Bela is busy looking for a wrench.

Big Brother...Cat Style

The nursery is still under construction awaiting crown molding and closet doors. But Bela is ready to get his rock on. Amongst the ruble, the rocking chair is sitting in the middle of the room for lack of a better spot. Bela could not wait for the room's order to be restored. He had to take a little cat nap in preparation for many long nights ahead awake with his baby sister.

Our Potato Crop

Sami pulled up the potatoes this weekend. Aren't they beauties!

Sami's Eviction

So, this weekend we worked very hard on moving all of the office stuff out of the soon-to-be nursery. We decided to put a table with the printer (it is wireless!) and modem/router in that weird unused middle room upstairs. We moved the bookcase to the opposite wall and hung some pictures. I actually like it much better this way. It seems more used/lived in. Since this room has no windows or really any privacy or doors we chose to put Sami's actual work station in the upstairs guestroom. We put a white desk in the guestroom by the bay window. This way, if we have guests Sami can just move for a coupe of days to the workstation in the middle room. We still have to hang some shelves in Sami's new office, so those pics will be posted shortly.
