Accomplishing things....

Yeah, so instead of nesting like a normal mommy and cleaning the house really well... (because of my SI joint disfunction I don' bend all that well pregnant...) I've been finishing and catching up on projects... Here are some that I've been working on for the last three months...

Repainting all three of the kids dressers and fixing the parts of the that have broken loose.
Going through their clothes and sorting out what does and doesn't fit them. 
Updating both Ada's and Sammy's scrapbooks for the last 18 months.
Starting a baby book and a scrapbook for Evelyn.
Updating Jer's and my family scrapbook.
Fixing the hole that Lucy chewed through my double hammock when a neice didn't put it back up when she was done with it.
Planting tulip transplants from my Aunt.
Revamping our 72 hour kits. (adding stuff for all three of our kids.)
Updating our food storage to include stuff that Sammy's not allergic to.
Making Evelyn's blessing blanket.
Scanning all my Grandpa's WWII and mission pictures.
Learning to dry bananas...
etc..

Ones that I have planned for the next 6 weeks...
make Grandpa's pictures into a book.
make blankets for my cousins: Tiff and Tim, Nate and Meri's new babies
take newborn pictures of cousin Wendee's new baby
put together all the various baby gear that I took apart to wash
plan and do Sammy's birthday party
ignore my birthday
backup all the digital pictures and movies on to DVDs
plan and do a baby shower for my mission friend Mayra
Shampoo our carpets


Now I just need to clean the house...

After the baby's born I need to:
Get Jer off to his brother's wedding
Get Sammy used to Nursery again
Potty train Sammy
Get ready for 4 family reunions
find something to take the place of Ada's Joy school that's ending in a Month
take baby pictures of our own baby

And eventually fix the back fence, raise the cement stairs in the front, add a hand rail, get covers for the window wells that Sammy keeps trying to walk over, expand our fire pit, get our mulberry tree bolted together, replant my tomato plants, fix the latacing and paint it, repaint the front door that's peeling, repaint the balcony, get the van tire replaced, and somehow have time to do fun stuff with the kids.  Who has time for a garden this year?

Please? It's right in the middle of everything... I don't think I'd enjoy it at all...

This is such a fun family.  They're sweet and playful.  It's fun to get to know them and try not to freeze in the cold rain!  It was...
