Nathan's room

David and I worked on the mural in Nathan's room on Monday, and I just finished it up today. I am so happy about how it turned out. I will post pictures of the whole room when I get things moved into their proper place. Until then, enjoy these pictures.

To all the non-believers...

It is done. David took last week off to stay home and work on some projects. Well, one project really, the arcade. Who knew that David and I had such great wood working skills (look out Bob Villa!). It took us the whole week and here are some pictures of it along the way.

All we have left to do is get some awesome graphics for the sides. Here is a picture of the finished product and David and his friends playing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Just so you know we beat the game in one try.

34 weeks

Yesterday, was our 34 week mark and the doctor said everything is looking good. We scheduled the appointment for them to take out the stitches, it is on Nov. 5th. We are so excited knowing that we could have little Nathan here sooner than later.

One more thing, it has nothing to do with this but I also didn't think it deserved it's own post. I am so happy about the price of gas right now! After having our gas shortage I thought for sure that gas stations would raise the prices once they finally had fuel to make up for the money they lost. But with the price of a barrel being so low we paid $2.62 for gas yesterday! How awesome is that!

Oh yeah, we also voted yesterday, and since I am pregnant we got to bypass the 2 1/2 hour long line and go straight in and cast our ballots! Don't forget to vote- it's your voice!

Nathan's baby shower!

Saturday my friend Pomai threw a baby shower for Nathan and I. It was so much fun and we got lots of booty. Thank you to everyone who came, I love you all. The party was pirate themed, since Nathans bedroom is pirate-y. Here are some pictures from the shower.

The great re-piping is done!

It's done! It's done! The great re-piping is done! David and his dad worked on replacing all of the old (polybutelane) pipes with new cpvp pipes. It took about a week, but we only went without water for two days (I consider that a success). When we were able to turn the water back on we had no leaks. That is right zero leaks! No bad for someone who had absolutely no plumbing experience. David worked so hard and he did such a great job, I am so proud of him!

Why do these things always happen when David is gone?!

Yesterday, I was getting ready to leave, and Boris ran to the basement stairs and got into pounce mode. I was like, "silly cat, what are you doing", and then I walked over and looked. There was something looking up at both of us. Boris ran down the stairs and chased it into the corner. I came down with the camera, so I could have proof that these things only happen to me. There was a live bird in the basement. I don't know how long it had been there because I had not gone downstairs since David left on Tuesday. Also, I never saw Boris bring it in. He always likes to show off his "presents". Anyway, I had to chase this bird out of the house with a broom. Why can't these things ever happen when David is home? Well, I have a theory. I think David is sabotaging me. I think he sets these things up, just so he can hear the panicked phone call I will give him. Why else would these types of things only happen when he is gone?

We would like to introduce you to....

Nathan (we still don't have a middle name) RygmyrHow cute is he!
