Week 27

I needed to use up some vacation before the end of the year so I took this week off. Mom came down for a couple days to help out. Monday we went to Ikea in Pittsburgh. We didn't buy much but I did find a dresser that we can use as the changing table. Unfortunately Chris and I are going to have to drive back to get it because the shipping cost is as much as the dresser. So much for that Ikea affordability.

Tuesday was painting day!
I painted the computer cabinet Chris made and mom painted all the trim, basboards and pantry door in the kitchen. She's a painting machine!






Wednesday I painted the night stand for the nursery and Chris finished up the cabinets and countertop for the pantry. Thursday I had lunch with friends and then hit the craft stores to buy stars so I could finish up the nursery furniture. Friday Chris got the cabinets installed in the pantry and I painted the toy chest and finshed up the night stand.


Saturday Chris got the first coats of primer and paint on the pantry cabinets.


All in all it was a very productive week. I'm feeling much more relaxed about getting things done before Peabo arrives. Hopefully by the end of next week I will be filling the pantry with bottles of Yoo-hoo and cans of Vienna Sausages.
