It's Beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Da-da-da-duuuuuuuh!!  Our old free, scraggly tree (while we were thankful for it) is now gone!! We now have my parents' tree that I've always loved.
 I am not a big fan of pre-lit trees because I like the ones that you can put your own lights on.  I also like this one because you put it together branch-by-branch and it was always so much fun claiming the color that we would help Daddy spread out when we were younger.  The only thing that stunk this year is that my dear husband does not share my love of putting the tree up, so I flew solo and it took a little while.  He did hang up one of his ornaments though, and I think it looks beautiful!
 
On Saturday, the 7th, we did Christmas with part of Zach's side of the family.

Trying to figure it out

I caught this picture right as Zach was honking a really loud horn.  Poor Aubrie jumped!

Sweet babies!
We were laughing because Zach and Nathan noticed that their socks were both mismatched and that together, they had two matching pairs!  Too funny!
He was going for the ornaments!
That puddle on the floor?  That would be my melted heart.
My boys!
 We had a good celebration and everybody was worn out by the end of the night!  We are old peeps and turned in by 9:00!

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!  ...
