Who needs therapy...Jack's Room Part 1

Who needs a psychologist to tell all your sorrows too when you can drown them out in a painting session??? That's just what I did! Saturday was a beautifully warm day in Texas and I enjoyed the beauty and peace by opening the window and painting Jackson's room. Can I just say that this was SO refreshing and much needed! I have disliked his room decor for a while now and just haven't done anything with it...until now! I figured since I don't have a nursery to design, just yet, Jack can reap the benefits of his mommy's inner teacher creativity that has been brewing inside me since I quit and is dieing to get out! His nursery was safari animals back in California and I have always liked the safair theme. However, once he went to a big boy bed it was difficult to find cute animal bedding. So, I got him simple striped bedding that will last as he gets older and decided to spice up his walls. The room is by no means done yet. I still have to hang the chair rail, add some cool black and white close-up pics of some animals Bre took at Arbunkle Wilderness (a drive-thru zoo where animals come up to your car), and Bre is going to paint a jeep above his bed (I know, she rocks!!!). Here is what I have done so far...enjoy the pics and stay tuned for more!

I painted a snake above his closet and a tree in the corner. Scott always wanted me to paint a "safari" looking tree so I tried my best copying one off of the Lion King dvd case:)


The jeep is going to be painted above his bed. I am so excited!!!

The room looks awesome! I've been trying to find something cute to do in Sadie's room - are you looking for a job? Seriously, you did great! I bet Jackson loves it!

Holy Holy

I can't stop singing, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty." Scott and I went to the "big" ultrasound today where we tested to see if our baby had Down's, one of the Trisomy disorders, or any neural tube defects. I must admit the palms were a little sweaty and the heart was racing a bit. As surreal as this pregnancy is, I don't want anything to be wrong with this precious life inside of me. Well, holy is right. The Lord is not just good; He is awesome! Our little baby instantly began moving and grooving for us showing off fingers and toes and a great heart beat! Even though I am on my third, watching the miracle of life on that screen NEVER gets old! It truly blows my mind every time I get to see our precious angels developing inside of me! The scan came out wonderfully. We got all positives on all the scans the doctor (who was absolutely INCREDIBLE) could do. Now we just wait for some blood work to confirm that everything is okay with our little boy. ...

The Cup

I walked into the kitchen and spotted a blue solo cup on the counter. The following conversation played out in my head: "Whose cup is this? Which kid took out yet another cup? Didn't I ask them to stop getting a new cup every time they needed a drink? What is wrong with these people? They obviously don't ever listen to me." In the midst of my frustration, I realized the cup was mine. Oopsies. Good thing I didn't speak those words aloud. I went on with my life and my to-do list leaving MY cup right where I found it. I am the grown-up and can leave my cup where ever my grown-up heart desires. I came back into the kitchen a little while later and saw the cup again. I completely forgot the cup was mine so I rehashed the above conversation in my head. I was baffled by who left that cup on the counter. And then I remembered it was me. Again. Y'all, I did this two more times throughout the night. It was like Groundhog's Day but I was the only one celebrat...

Baby on the Floor

Yesterday I was putting a couple of things in the closet for the baby of what is going to be the nursery. Jackson was helping me and asked me where the baby was going to live. I told him where and he was excited since the room is next to his. Later that night Scott and I asked him where the baby was going to sleep and he responded by telling us that the baby was going to sleep in his room. When I asked him where in his room he told me, "on the floor." Scott antagonized him telling him that the baby would not sleep in his room but in the nursery. Jackson got mad at him and yelled over and over again that the baby was sleeping in his room on the floor. Oh my...it starts already!
