Lately

Lately..

-life has been crazy busy yet uneventful. M got a new job so his hours have been a bit long.. and his absence make us seem incomplete.. plus it makes him more tired and and give this pregnant woman no time to relax. So I snuck in a morning massage after dropping D off at school. And the thing I realized, I can not shut off my brain. The whole hour I tried to empty my mind and stop thinking but I couldn't, then I started to think about how I couldn't stop thinking! I this a girl thing or an A type personality crazy person thing?


-my dishwasher has been broken for over a month now.. and my wonderfully incompetent tech first ordered the wrong part and now they say the part aren't available.. at all! Guess we have to buy a new one.. but the space under our counter is smaller than average so that limits our choices.. :( dish washing is not good for my back.

-i have successfully and uneventfully (thank god) made it to my third trimester.. wohoo.. but also scary.. just three months to go before s/he arrives and turns our worlds upside down and inside out.. in a good way..


-D is growing so fast and talking so much. He wants to do everything by himself which sadly means he's already ceasing to be my little baby.. but then he rushes over to us and demands 'huggy time' and there he is again... my baby!


-a few Monday's ago M was working from home so we dropped D off at school and went out for a breakfast date.. it was nice to squeeze in some us time.

-i have been making Halloween costumes. For a person who can barely hem pants, that is huge. I am not doing anything crazy... just a few simple accessories to create a family costume. Mother Nature and freak storms have caused us to miss two Halloween's in a row so we are looking forward to celebrating this one.

Dish washer part...old repair shops, junk yard or recycle center might have an old washer with the part. Sometimes parts can be found on eBay and the weirdest places.
For back...vinyl floor pads are great in front of the sink, doing dishes or not. They can be pricey, but worth it.
I hope you do get your rest.

Gah, I know all about broken dishwashers. We finally managed to fix ours after 2 months... turns out a whole host of ants had crawled into the switch resulting in a disconnection. Who would've thought!

Glad the pregnancy is going well! Take care! :)

ah the racing mind....it's a female thing enhanced by the mom thing and kicked into overdrive by pregnancy. that's my theory.

glad there was some time in there for sweet little cuddles and a breakfast date though. those are the things that help settle the mind. :)

Blanking your mind is difficult for anyone. I don't think it's just a female of type A thing but a human thing.

That's a drag about the dishwasher. We were without one for about a year because ours broke and we knew we really needed a kitchen reno but weren't quite ready for it yet, so went without a dishwasher. Not fun at all, and I can imagine really not fun when you're in your third trimester of pregnancy. So I hope you find a solution quickly! So exciting about your baby coming so soon.

I think we're all prone to overloading our brains too much and not knowing how to switch it off! And your little boy is growing so fast, I think no matter how much he grows he'll always need his mummy for something :o) and congrats on the 3rd trimester! Almost there

Have a great weekend,

D's Amazing Race Party

Last weekend our eldest turned 9.. and we threw him an amazing race birthday party! As with all the boys other parties.. I bought a plain white cake from Wegmans and let D decorate it himself. We had a total of nine kids.. they picked bandanna's out of a bag to create 3 teams. First Task Not all the kids knew each other.. they were too amped up with the idea of winning that they couldn't manage to calm down and read the clue.. so we had to really guide them through it.. they made mistakes and we let it go.. it seemed a tad chaotic..  Second Task I had 33 little medicine cups filled with M&M's and Goldfish crackers.. 6 of them had stickers on the bottom. The first two teams found the sticker in the first try... what are the odds!? And the third team had to eat a lot of snacks before they finally found their sticker. Third Task I bought 48 piece puzzles from the Dollar Tree. The boys took their time making

Kitchen and Family Room: New Flooring

When the wall between our family room and kitchen see details here came down we had to deal with two different flooring, old carpet and newish laminate. The plan was to find the same laminate.. we found the box in the basement, how hard could it be? Harder than we thought.. that particular one had been discontinued.. and finding something similar was not an easy task..  Finding a flooring that was kind of close but not close enough would seem like a mistake.. so we decided to go different, this way it would seem like an intentional design choice.. I had always wanted a chocolaty dark floor.. The next thing to take into consideration was the transition between the two floors.. generally what is used it a T- Moulding, that strip you see in the above picture connecting the two floors together. Not the prettiest option. Pinterest to the rescue..  Adding tile to the mix would help to blend the two different brown together and there would be no awkward bump in the floori
