Taking it easy this weekend

Well, life has been slowing down a bit by necessity. I'm just getting too darn tired to do much other than work, be a mom and sleep. (It's going to be a LONG August and September.)

This weekend, we went out to a BBQ at my co-workers house. Luke was simply thrilled to be playing with Riley (the 4 year old)... He copied everything and they had a blast together.

In other news, I prepared the baby's room for our upcoming arrival... getting baby diapers, new crib sheets, receiving blankets, etc. I'm going to rummage through Luke's old 0-3 month old stuff to see if we can re-use anything with the new child.

I also managed to do some decorating in Luke's room. I got him this cool canoe oar with engravings of Lake Minnetonka to go over his bed. Then, I got this painting on wood of some ducks in flight. It has a very rustic feel to it and goes with the Big Bear Campground theme. The coolest thing so far though is that I got Luke a personalized wood sign to go in his room from Cabelas. It is a bear theme and will say "Luke's Room Chanhassen, Minnesota" on it instead of the Lake Tahoe thing. See it here:

Anyway... there are still a few more things that I need to do to continue decorating the room, but it is starting to look like a nice North Woods themed place. :)

Next step, work on the little girl's room. I am thinking that we are going to get some butterfly and dragonfly wings and such for the room. I'll work on it though...

This weekend, Al went out golfing and managed to get below 100 on his score... so, he is thrilled- congratulate him the next time you chat with him.

Other than that, Luke is officially a big boy and now fits into the Lederhosen that we sent over by our long-time family friends, the Kopeckys (and Ohandjanians). The pictures were just too cute to pass up. I'm sure that Luke will look great in his Christmas pictures with these Lederhosen on, but here is a pre-view:

I'm planning on getting Luke's "big brother present" this weekend if I have the energy so that everything will be ready for the little girl's arrival. I'm planning on packing my hospital bag this weekend too because things are going to be crazy over the next few weeks until the end of August!

Hope everyone is well!
