{26 weeks}

As the clock is quickly ticking closer and closer to August 15th, B and I have been getting to work on our projects. Here are some pics of B and Cody working on the scrap shack, the first two were taken about a month ago when they were putting up the frame and starting on the walls.

Last weekend B had to fix the water problem by breaking up the cement and digging a new trench for water to drain around the shack rather than into it, ohhhh and since it has been raining buckets around here the new trench was tested just after he got it dug. Yesterday we got most of the needed materials to finish the scrap shack so B and Cody got to work finishing the walls, mounting the door and preparing the walls for Mark to come this week and start running electricity.

Hopefully, and with fingers crossed, at this rate B will have the shack done by the end of the month. And to my luck he doesn't have another race till the last weekend of the month, so the possibility of lots of progress is HIGH!!!

As for my project, I have spent the last two weekends re-finishing a dresser that has been in our family forever to use in the nursery. Here is a pic before I started:

And waaalaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My plan is to have a painting party Memorial Day weekend to transform the green walls into blue and brown. The blue I used on the dresser is an accent blue I am also using on a toy chest my mom bought Cooper as well as a little stepping stool.

About a month ago we moved out the old bed and brought in the crib and changing table Donnell is letting us borrow. So as soon as my scrapping furniture is out in the scrap shack I will finally be able to get the nursery organized and decorated!!!!

Since today is technically my first Mother's Day I treated myself to a pedicure, fresh cut sunflowers for the house and this bassinet/pack n play for Cooper. This will be what we use in our room till he graduates to his crib.

Happy Mother's Day to all my friends and family!!!
