Carpet Angels!

When we were younger mom and dad got new carpet in the living room. Dad was all freaked out about it getting matted or the shag going in the wrong direction, etc. So of course Amy immediately threw herself on the carpet and shouted "carpet angels"! I joined in and Dad had to laugh through his scowl.

Today, we can do carpet angels! We have carpet! Lovely, soft, covering the plywood carpet! Karen and Rick came over today and as usual Jimmy busted his little butt trying to get things done. The blinds are all hung (although one is a little short and should get replaced today). Our bedroom is pretty much together, the nursery still needs some work . . .

Name for the week - Crabby. Chosen for the second week in a row by Ms. Makin. This is two fold. #1 - Crabby's Daddy was exactly that yesterday. I'm pretty sure we're pushing him to his physical limits and he's tired. #2 - When we boiled the nipples and bottles today, we boiled them in Jim's crab pot. Then as we smelled the residual crab smell thought, hmmm - what if the baby is allergic to shellfish? So everything was re-boiled in another pot. But that sealed the name.

Here's the to do list for today:

• Move in more furniture from the POD (I want that GONE this week)
• Put the crib together
• Bring up the bookshelf for Crabby's room
• Start to put things away in Crabby's room (clothes, toys, diapering stuff)
• Hang pictures in Crabby's room, office, and our bedroom
• The bathroom needs work - but that might have to wait a day or two

It's 4:55 on Sunday morning, I can't sleep -I should go start putting my office in order, but I just don't feel like it . . .
