Nesting Checklist Progress

Well you are stuck with yet another update on the crazy lists I have been waiting forever to get checked off. This weekend was decided that no matter what, we are getting that list done! (Well, at least mostly done, I think I was a bit too ambitious.) So we worked and worked all weekend and did get most of it done. I was waiting a bit to post this hoping we could do a little video tour, but it has become obvious that the house will not be clean until this weekend for the party, so I suppose it will have to be on another post. Right now the most clean and organized thing in this house is my freezer. I was very tempted to take a picture of that, but refrained. :)



The morning had to begin with my Walmart trip as it was that grocery time again. Of course it took way longer than usual for some reason, but I was pleasantly surprised to come home to the new table already assembled! I'd like to see the rest of you try that with Miss Lorelei there to "help"! :) Brad did a great job! Not only was that put together, but Lorelei seemed happy as can be that she had been working so hard with her dad. The picture down the hall is one of her ways she was "helping" by putting all of the chair legs down the hall. She was SO proud.

I guess I should mention the weekend actually started on Friday night when we made a trip to Babies R Us for a diaper bag, as well as a new booster seat for our big girl! Lorelei is beyond thrilled to have this and even insisted on being buckled into it in the shopping cart. Here you can see her enjoying it as well as some of the baby toys we dug out of storage. Getting baby things out of storage was yet another job to accomplish, which proved the most challenging as we had a very unhappy camper when we brought out the swing etc that she was not allowed to sit in. We had been planning to wait a bit longer to bring them out, but decided we may need a bit more time for her to adjust than first planned. SO the swing, bouncer and playpen (waiting to empty the storage out a THIRD time to try and find the bassinet part for it as we didn't realize it was packed somewhere down there) are out and ready to go...apparently going to be moved into our bedroom for the big birthday bash this weekend. :)

Somewhere in there we also got the frig and freezer cleaned out, I made casseroles and fried up ground beef, we got her playroom all set up and most toys out of the living room...and a few other things. But there are somehow still things left to be done so going to have to try and keep motivated.



Lorelei enjoying the new baby toys. When she asks to sit in them ("try") we continue to tell her that she can't but she can use her dolls to play with them. :) So far she is enjoying that a lot.
