We love this weather!!

So, spring has officially arrived and we are LOVING it! This weekend is a long weekend for us because of CKEA day and Ella and I had made plans to make the most of it! However, with my car still in the shop, we've had to bum a few rides! Hopefully the wagon will be back in business on Monday!

Yesterday, mom took Ella and me to the park and shopping. Ella definitely enjoyed the park and said hi to just about every child she met. Because my belly is getting a little large these days, mom took over on most of the running for Ella and such! I think she had just as much fun as Ella did!


I (yes me! I love doing that kind of stuff) finally put Ella's big girl bed together a few weekends ago, so I have been wanting to get Ella's bedding for a few weeks now. After we hit the mall for a little summer clothes shopping for Ella we headed to Target where we found the quilt I've had my eye on. While there, I also found bedding for baby boy (yes, still no name, but I think we are very close). I know it's early to get his bedding, but it was the last one and I couldn't pass it up! It works so perfect for what we are trying to accomplish in the new nursery. From the picture, you will see it is only brown and white, so I am looking to add some green and possibly yellow to it. As of now, everything still matches with the current paint colors, but Kermie and I are now on a mission to decide how we want to get rid of the pink walls and make it more unisex. I am thinking a beige/tan color with some green? Not sure yet. I am also looking for fabric to make curtains from. Kermie is going to paint a huge tree and some woodland animals on the walls to tie everything in. We are also looking for a bookshelf of some sort for Ella's side of the room, a new chandelier, and a new rug to match. If any of you readers come across any steals let me know! I'm all about bargains!



Also, I am getting ready to sell all of Ella's clothes from 0-24 months within a couple of weeks, so if you'd be interested in taking some before hand let me know! Otherwise, they are going so we can make room for her big girl clothes and baby boy's clothes!

Hope everyone else is enjoying this weather as much as we are!! :)
