A project update...

Picked up about 200 photos on Sunday and I did not just toss them in the storage box. They are in their albums! And in the process I came across a stack of photos just waiting to get organized too so they got put in the albums also.

I am still working on moving our Baby Boy in with our Daughter. I am hung up on paint and nursery bedding. I went to a "real" paint store. I've never been in one before. I do have to say while the selection is great it can be a little over-whelming compared to Home Depot! I did find a green and the color green paint that I like. This paint brand, little Yolo, had sample squares that you can tape up to the wall. We'll see if I go with it. I like the idea of a not so toxic substance in the babies' room too.

Playing catch up

Growing up I LOVED photo albums. I spent hours in my college sorority crafting fancy photo collages in albums to capture every single event we had. What happened as I got older? Somehow I lost that drive to keep up on my photo albums. I guess with the digital photo age it got easy to just load the photos on the computer and think of that as your album.

Well, I've decided to play catch up and update our family album. I am behind...I mean really behind. Aside from a couple of photo purchases for gifts, I have not had photos printed in a long time. Yesterday, I sat down for an hour and picked out pictures to order. I had no idea where to start..so I randomly just chose to start with pictures starting with my daughters 2nd birthday (she's 3 now). I ordered 208 pictures yesterday!

I am not even going to put them away in the photo box....they are going straight into the albums. I also purchased some extras to send to the Grandmas for Mother's Day. The other project is that I want to do some in frames (I like the Pottery Barn Gallery Frames) for the house because I realized the only framed photos we have in are a couple from our wedding and one of our cat!

Bye, Bye Bassinet

We are saying good bye to our baby boy's bassinet. He has never seemed to be comfortable in it so we are switching to the good ol' pack and play. Then once we move our girl into her big girl bed, baby boy can have the crib.

Now what to do with this extra piece of baby furniture? It is not going to take up space in our garage. I'm taking it over to a local kid's consignment shop. I can sell if for a small profit and use that money for the baby boy's new crib bedding!
