My sweet mother-in-law has started an addiction in me, which I am not complaining about. I am obsessed and I can't help it. While Joseph's parents were visiting this past weekend, us girls made a trip to the TJ Maxx Home Goods Store. I was a first timer. I have never seen so many things that I've wanted to purchase and with such wonderfully reasonable prices.
This week I made a trip back there and spent much more money than I should have. (oops) I'm reasoning with myself, "we needed all of this eventually." Some things were for Ace (his toy basket was overflowing, meaning one thing: he needed a bigger basket), some things were for this season's fall home decorations (it's our first house to decorate together, we must be festive), and of course, some things for little Caroline's nursery (we have to have it completely done in the next 3 months anyway, might as well make little purchases here and there now). I'm excited about the things I bought for her. I'm ready to start making larger purchases that start filling out her room!!!
Ready for some more exciting news? My baby shower invitations came in! (Yay! [Super Happy Voice]) I'm so blessed to have such a wonderful mother who is throwing me a shower. I'm overjoyed. It's months away but I am so ready to be back in Niceville for those couple days, seeing everyone, enjoying family time and celebrating Caroline's arrival. #countingdown .. I know my mom has great ideas so I can't wait to see what she has planned!
We were blessed with Joseph having a day off... During The Week.!! For most people that's not a big deal and most people prefer to have all their off days fall on a weekend, so I guess this makes us rare. We were stoked that it was midweek! Having a completely open day during the week gives the opportunity to get things done that you can't do on the weekends: appointments, banking and other things of that nature. We were able to get appointments done early enough in the day to have the rest of it to do whatever it is we pleased! It was grand.
We spent our afternoon:
- eating lunch together at Longhorn Steakhouse (I'm in love with their amazingly fresh tasting salads)
- doing a little bit of shopping
- buying & selling on Ebay
- prepping Caroline's room for painting
He's adorable. Brush in hand, Earphones in, Standing on Caroline's dresser, singing loudly along with Imagine Dragons & Dave Matthews. That is what I'm going to remember from this. Not to mention, Ace running back and forth between the nursery to me seeming extremely concerned for his daddy. It was cute and so funny at the same time. Such sweet boys that I have.
Grey walls, Pink & White dresser/changing table & hamper. Ready to start putting things in her room now and organizing her drawers! So much to do. #nestingtime Caroline is going to love her pretty nursery.
We're getting things done, one day at a time.
