Weekly Wrap Up October 20-26

I almost forgot to cover this week, and that would have been a shame!  It's one of my favorite weeks!

On Monday, Zach's dad turned the big 5-0!  His birthday party was on Saturday, and I was snapping pictures with Zach's mom's camera, so I have none to show!!  Oops!

Tuesday was my Granddaddy's 90th birthday!  A pretty awesome accomplishment!  My Daddy went to see him and I called to wish him a happy birthday.  He said that 90 is not feeling too different from 89! Haha!

Tuesday also marked 6 years since Zach and I officially started "going steady," "courting," "going out..."  Whatever you want to call it.  My sweet man brought me this home...
                                                          (The chair, not the adorable beagle!)
Every time we went to Rural King I would Ooh and Ahh over this yard chair.  It was so sweet of him to remember and get it for me. 

I bet you can tell how much Nellie loves photo shoots with Mama! ; )
On Friday, I got to go on a field trip to Trunnell Farms with 2nd grade.  One of the teachers was out, so instead of getting a sub, our principal put me in charge.  I was pretty excited!  It felt good to have a class of my own! (If only for a day!) 
Lori and I rode the tractor bikes... My knees were up to my chest!
The kid picking out their small pumpkins and gourds!

The kids loved it!
Saturday we were pretty lazy the whole day.  We were supposed to go to my cousin's wedding on Saturday evening, but Zach's dad's party got planned for the same day and we couldn't do both.  : (   The party went well though, and lot's of Zach's family got to come.  We got worn out early and were home in bed by 9:00!  We're just party animals, I guess! ; )

Family room re-do featuring.... my curtains! : )

For a while now, we've planned on finally finishing our family room.  That's right, it's kind of been unfinished for the entire time we've lived there.  It was painted and decorated, just no molding and the ceiling was hideous because we (and by we, I mean Zach) took down the drop ceiling the previous owners had put up.  So, anyway, I looked at curtains and didn't really find anything I liked, so I decided I was going to make my own.  Zach and I looked at Jo-Ann's a couple times and each time we looked I liked this fabric more and more.  It was the most expensive fabric I've ever bought, but in the end, it was sooooo worth it! (*Note- I bought the fabric in January before NSM! : )) Here we are at Mama Joyce's one day after church cutting the panels.  I think we were all nervous to cut it.  It was too costly to mess up! Fast forward a couple weeks because I didn't have time, was lazy, and also scared to sew on it, and I finally just delved in an...

Bumpdate: 41 weeks!

How Far along: 41 weeks.   Baby's size: Size of a jack fruit!  Around 7.5 lbs. (I think he's going to be about 8 lbs and Zach's official guess is 9 lbs. 2 oz.  I hope he's wrong!) Weight loss/gain: 30 lbs. (So glad the weight gain is slowing down!) Sleep: I told Zach I no longer am even trying to keep track of how much I am getting up to go to the bathroom. Gender: B-O-Y Movement:  He has been back to his super active little self this week.  Best Moment of this week:  Getting to spend time at home together now that we're finished with the old house.  Also, the 3 day weekend!  We didn't sleep in, much, but we figure that's all about to end anyway! Looking Forward: Getting to meet our baby boy.  I think it will be a little weird, because I truly don't feel like I'm finished being pregnant yet.  But, alas, we pretty much have to follow Dr.'s orders. Food cravings: Still pineapple!  ...

Ten on Thursday

1. This week on Tuesday Elizabeth an I got to go to Cheddar's! The best part was we didn't have to wait because we went so early! 2. I have been sewing a skirt and the last step was to shir the skirt so it would cinch up and be elastic-y. It sounds all well and good until it didn't work! I realized I needed a bigger needle for my machine, so yet another trip to Jo-Anns was needed. Then I got home and I still couldn't get it to work just right. Ugh, I need some help! 3. Poor Zach had to work or be in class every single night this week, which has sucked, since we haven't gotten to see each other much at all. I missed him so much, but thankfully his schedule is better for next week! 4. This week has been so slow! It goes that way sometimes with 4 day weeks, so I am ready for the weekend. 5. Friday was our friend Ryan's birthday, so I went out to eat with he and Kayleigh since Zach was working. 6. Working out is going good and have lost another 3 lbs, whi...
