Gettin' Crafty

I decided that I needed to do something artsy for the baby's room BEFORE he gets here, so.....


I got out my old canvas that I've been dragging around with me and decided to actually do something with it. I'm so proud of myself that after sooooo many hours on Pinterest I actually did something crafty! The big canvas I had was really beat up, so this was completely experimental and there wasn't much to lose if I totally screwed it up. I taped off the areas for the lettering, then the stripes. I didn't have any stencils, so I free-handed it.... ya, that's the part I regret. We'll see if I ever get around to redoing it, haha. All in all, it turned out alright. At least it's something to go into baby's room to brighten up the white walls (since I don't know if I'll have any time to paint, given our house closing keeps getting extended... ahhh, different story).




These other two canvases I picked up at Walmart for $10. I wanted to do some coordinating stripy wall art to go with the big sign. I think they turned out pretty cool. It was easy enough that I would most definitely do something similar again!








As Requested....Tummy Pics!!

Sorry, I've totally slacked off on posting pregnancy pictures... I've had several people ask me to post some :) I haven't been very consistent with the picture taking, so this is all you get!! I took the thirty-four week picture today right before I sat down to write this post. It's finally starting to show! lol.  I guess I should count it as a blessing, most of my clothes still fit pretty well and when all else fails, yayy for stretchy dance pants! :)
As for baby, I went in for my regular doctor checkup this morning and everything is great! Baby's head down and super crazy wiggly! We can't wait to meet him!

One Sunday Afternoon....

I just have to tell you all how much I love Kevin. He's such a funny guy...especially when he's low. We were sitting down to eat some leftover chicken from the night before and Kevin says, "If named our little boy chicken, we could say 'Hey chicken! Bock bock bock!' This was just the beginning of our bad name escapade. He also concluded that if we named our boy chicken, we could say, guess what? chicken butt! If our son, named Chicken, had offspring, we could call them chicken fritters. 
Or this conversation could occur:
Mom: "Okay kids, what do you want for dinner?" 
Kid 1: "BBQ Chicken!!" 
Chicken: "No!!"

Then, the conversation took an obvious turn to other forms of meat and "what if's." What if we named our little boy "Beef" you ask? Kevin's reply- We could send him to Mongolia, then we could call him Mongolian Beef!! Then, if we found him a wife named Cabbage, it'd be Beef and Cabbage! What if we named him Pork? If we named him Pork and he was fat, we could call him Pork Rounds, but on the contrary, if he was skinny, we could call him Spare Ribs. 

Yup, just a day in the life of Kevin. Gotta love how it all just makes sense....? No. Obviously, we are not going to name our poor little baby after any sort of meat. Just a normal Sunday afternoon. The end.
