We started this weekend in The Colony with a little soccer (Michael not me, of course). He had a 9:00 game which didn't seem so bad so I decided to go support him and see him score some goals (which were a little elusive.) I ended up as the team photographer, but it kept my short attention span zoomed in on the game (no pun intended). I got to practice using our new camera with some cool action shots. My sister, Bethany, and her husband Shawn drove over from Frisco to watch with me. I always enjoy hanging out with them and it gave me someone to talk to. Here are the best of the million pictures I took (remember I said practice taking pictures.)
Saturday while I was at work, (for those of you that don't know, I work every Saturday morning) I started thinking of the ever-growing list of things that need to be done before Cohen comes. So I did what I do best...I made lists. (I know, a little type A) I made a list of everything that needs to get done and how many weekends we have until I'm due. I then plugged in the things to do to the remaining weekends. It made me feel much better that I could actually see that we really do have plenty of time to get everything done. So I called my mom, my go to girl, to help me out on Sunday. (Michael had soccer practice and had to work that afternoon.) The plan for this weekend was to get batteries for the smoke detectors and install (*side note on this matter below), clean out Cohen's room (some more), sell the futon that was in there on Craigslist, and do some organizational work on his closet. We were able to get everything done which I am so grateful for. We sold the futon for my full asking price (sweet!) and they came and picked it up the same day that I posted it!! This was my first experience selling anything on Craigslist so I was a little leary. Thankfully they were a really nice couple and not crazies who wanted to come rob and kill us. We did get off easy on the closet though since I found these awesome wire basket drawer things at Lowe's! I know his dresser will not have enough room for everything and really wanted drawers so yay! Problem solved and they were easy to put together, or at least it looked easy, my mom did it. Haha! I sure sound lazy huh? Here are some pictures of the closet... all I need now is a double bar for extra hanging room.
I can even put a little lamp or something on the top!!
There are a few things in there.
Some of the clothes we got already, thanks in large part to the kindess of Aunt Lori and Baby Gap.
(Thanks Lori!)
*Side note on the smoke detectors- Ok so 5 out of our 7 smoke detectors were non-functional. When Michael hears them beep in the middle of the night (is it a requirement for the batteries to die while you are sleeping? It has to be...) he just gets up and yanks out the batteries or just pulls them off the ceiling (bless his heart he needs his beauty sleep) and since we don't keep a stash of 9volts around they just never got replaced. I guess I just sleep through all the commotion since I wasn't aware of our dire situation. So as I was looking around the other day I noticed how many we actually had down! Thank the Lord our house hasn't caught on fire!! It's all good now though and I even bought some extras so our little game of Russian Roulette can end.
Russian Roulette. Love it. And I'm so glad my little Cohen will be well clothed (not that I was worried about it).
