Nesting




According to Georgia, this is how she pretends to take a bath (she takes off her shoes, socks, and pants before getting in the drawer but insists the shirt is an integral part of the whole game).

I'm enjoying the long weekend, though E is laid up with a back "thing" and I wish he felt better. I'm sending him over to the urgent care center this afternoon - at the very least they can give him some more effective pain medication while he rests up. Gi and I are hanging out and once she goes down for a nap I'll see what's going on in my sewing room. I have lots of projects in mind, and even more ideas from the copy of "Last Minute Patchwork Gifts " I finally bought the other night. I had been eying it because of the wee wonderful's elephant toy pattern, and when I saw the color wheel quilt I took the leap and bought my own copy. Lesson plans need to be done today as well, and it's driving me crazy having a whole garage-full of ikea boxes and no one to build and haul them into the house for me. :)

We went to the one in Philly yesterday after a trip to the Mutter Museum , which was a pretty amazing collection. I walked around the whole place, fascinated in my zoologist/science teacher way but all three of my companions were waiting in the lobby, green in the gills, by the time I was done. At Ikea we picked up another large expedite bookcase to see if we can consolidate the books in the library on the same wall as E's turntables and records, which are in a 2 by 8 square expedit we picked up last year when he was looking for a decent, affordable shelf for his albums. A and I have both been talking about getting the girls little poang chairs since our last trip, so this time around I bought a matching kid and adult size chair for Gi's room, since we'll probably move the glider into the nursery.

A few emergency "big sister" gifts were also picked up to stash in the closet to help deal with the toddler drama that we know will ensue when a certain someone comes home in a few weeks. "Only" one month left we meet the new kid!
