Garrett's 4-H project

Garrett had his 4-H meeting last week and they painted the bleachers as a service project and I think more of the paint ended up on Garrett than on the bleachers! He had fun doing it and we had a cook-out afterwards. Garrett was going to be in mini 4-H flowers 1 but his flowers have not come up thus far and I doubt they will this week or next. He also is in mini 4-H woodcraft and he decided to make a bird house. He told me he wanted to make a bird hotel but I told him I didn't think there were any of those available. LOL!! The fair this year is June 22-26 so a few other people might have to take him since hopefully I will be having a baby sometime this weekend!

I love doing Lizzy's hair- this was the first time I put all her hair up in pig tails

always a battle going on somewhere

and sometimes they are nice to each other :o)

Baby, baby, baby!!

Can you guess what has been on my mind lately? I can't wait to meet this baby!! We had an ultra-sound yesterday and got to see the baby's chubby cheeks. I didn't realize that the baby even had hair until my mother-in law pointed it out and then I could see this little mohawk and it was so cute!! The baby is weighing in around 7lbs 10oz and having three weeks left the baby could be 9lbs before he/she arrives. I am ok w/ that as long as he/she isn't another 10lber like Garrett!

Today Elizabeth and I were cleaning up the mess she made w/ the books beside the chair and I got on a cleaning kick. I ended up cleaning beside the chair and sweeping that really good and then moving a lot of furniture (not to worry the furniture was light or had wheels) and got the rest of the family room cleaned up and swept. I started a load of laundry and ran the dishwasher while running a few errands. We are going to a Euchre party tonight at the church and will have Josh help me take the thrash out when we leave. When I rounded up all the thrash I swept by the thrash can and decided the rest of the kitchen needed sweeping too. The front room really needs swept but I can't do that until Elizabeth wakes up from her nap. I am also going to sweep under the table in the breakfast nook and then call it a day. The word that comes to mind when I read this last paragraph is nesting!! I really want to have the house cleaned by the time the baby comes so I can relax that first week and not worry about having a messy house when people come by to see the baby.
