Ten on Thursday

1. Zach started his new job today and we are so excited! The best part it, he was home by 2:30 today! : )

2. Last night I knocked my computer off the ottoman and the device I use to get internet broke. For good. Ugh, now I have to either find another little device or get a new computer. Gonna go with option 1 for now!

3. This week in Evansville they are holding the "West Side Nut Club Fall Festival." It is a lot like tri-fest in Henderson, except on CRACK! They expect you to pay parking, where any other time of the year you would never have to pay. Can we say selfish? So any who, Zach and I were obviously determined to not pay for parking, so we drove around for 20 or so minutes looking for places to park. We finally settled on the Walgreens about 5 blocks away, but hey, we got free parking AND exercise! I ate a corn dog and caramel apple, pretty tame, but Zach got a bratwurst with sauerkaut and a brain sandwich. Not my kinds of food!

4. Our house is a mess, and I was wondering how long we'll get to use the excuse, "Well, we just moved in." I'm going to estimate I can use this for another couple months!

5. I am going to make pumpkin bread, pumpkin muffins, and cherry delight tonight. I loooove pumpkin products and can't wait to eat some!

6. I have started to design our Christmas Cards for this year and they are going to be so cute! Or very nice, in case Zach reads this! : )

7. I realized that we may actually have trick-or-treaters for halloween this year! Since my parents lived out in the county, no one ever came to see us, so it could be fun if we have visitors this year!

8. Zach and I may go to see his Uncles' new house up in Illinois this weekend.

9. We are also cat sitting this weekend.

10. I found my #1 item for my Christmas list this week! A Nook from Barnes and Noble! Or an Amazon Kindle! Haven't decided which one I'd like best yet!

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...

Turns out...

Third grade is not bad at all! The kids are still pretty sweet and are so excited for me to be there and I am excited too! I think it will be fun to see all that they can do and have fun with them. Yesterday I received 5 notes on my desk about how excited that I was there and about how much fun we were going to have. I think they are right! Hopefully I get the hang of them quickly, because I start teaching Science (Mon and Wed), Social Studies(Tues and Thur), and PE (Fri) next week!

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!  ...
