Oh, What to Do?

As mentioned in my previous post, we're ready for the baby. I've been keeping up on the cleaning in the house so that I don't have to deep clean again (although I may do it again just for fun). So that means that Savannah and I have had to find other things to occupy our time.

We spent one whole day in the ER, which was so boring yet exhausting. By the end of the ordeal, all we could do was try and stay awake until bedtime. Don't worry, everyone is fine.

The rest of the week, I have been finishing little projects that I have been telling myself I want to start or finish. Here's a simple ABC book I had started in February. All of it is made with the Cricut Zoobaloo cartridge (for those of you who know what that is). Savvy loves it.
Here are two embroideries that I made for my mom's hallway, which is full of grandkid pictures. I just made up the patterns myself. We made the frames together in February and now they're ready to hang.
And to complete one wall in the girls' room, I made up this pattern too... it's Savvy's favorite song. I ran out of floss, though, so hopefully I can get it done this week.
I made a handful of thank you cards that are ready to send.
I finished 63 invitations for my sister.
I am working on backing up the thousands of pictures I have on my computer onto CDs. This one might take a little while.
We made a new "Little Mouse, Little Mouse" game. Savvy destroyed the old one that Aunt Stephanie made for her. Again, the Cricut machine does wonders!

Today we plan on going swimming and grocery shopping. I'm running out of ideas, though, so hopefully the baby wants to come soon. Savvy definitely suspects that something is going on. She's been extremely clingy and whiny this last week. I am thankful that I have had some time to just play with her before her world gets turned upside down.

Jenny I wish I had 1/2 your motivation to get things done! I can't wait for you to have this little baby, I'm so excited to meet her.

I also love that alphabet book, can I borrow that cartridge to make one?

You must have gotten your mom's creative genes!! Everything looks awesome! Get it done while you can, two kids are much busier than one!

Clint said...

Seriously Jenny, I have not idea how you accomplish so much in a day. I am glad to get one thing done besides the normal things involved with two kids! You are a busy girl. Hope the baby comes soon, we are so excited to have another member of the family!

My dream would be to be as good a mom as you and to be as creative as you. I tried to make a spring craft and failed miserably. Of course I had to put it up but that is because Justin won't let me buy one to replace it.

Stephanie said...

Holy cow, woman! You have been one busy girl! You always have the cutest ideas. What cartridge did you use for the Little Mouse??

Stacy said...

can I borrow your work ethic and motivation while you are having your baby. thx.
seriously. I love the alphabet book you made. I will watch Savannah a zillion times if you just teach me how to do all your crafty stuff.
Amazing.
OH and good luck getting that little girl out :-)
