Little Things

As I'm trying to put Brody's room together I'm also having to plan for the future too. I don't want to purchase things that I won't be able to use in a 1.5 years. The minute we found out we were having another little boy we knew that eventually they would be in the same room and the nursery would be their playroom.

So I'm trying to make the nursery as baby-free as I possibly can. Primary colors that can work as they grow up, basic art, and pieces of furniture that will last. I'm doing pretty good so far I think.

Then it dawned on me one night as I was tucking Aiden in. Ekk I need to get another twin comforter like his! Which wouldn't you know Pottery Barn doesn't sell anymore. My luck! I know I probably shouldn't be purchasing it now, but 1.5 years down the road it will be even more IMPOSSIBLE to find. Plus I can go ahead and put it on the trundle bed. So it's really not a waste. Therefore right now I'm stalking the Internet to find one...if you find one LET ME KNOW! Pottery Barn Kasey All I've been finding is the primary color one not the Navy. UGH!
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Back to Brody's room...well my plan was to make his quilt. I really don't see that happening now....I go to bed every night by 8:30-9 and my weekends are so packed. So that project might have to wait till after he's born while on my maternity leave. I will probably make it even bigger than I planned so both boys can cuddle underneath it, so all the squares I've cut out won't go to waste. lol

But I found another blanket that goes perfect and didn't break the bank! $28 with my discounts & tax then I had a $5 gift card from a previous purchase, which made it even better!! I put the sheet on the bed so you can get the big picture. Love Love Love! Everything matches but doesn't scream matchy matchy!
You might notice something else new....the shelf hidden in the tree. I bought a $3 shelf and used the tree paint to help it bend even better. Perfect spot for the monitor camera.
It's coming together!

Poor Wes has had an awful week and it's not over till Sunday. He's only had Tuesday off but the rest of the days he's been working 2/3am-6:30/7pm!!!! I'll be happy when Sunday comes! We miss him! Stupid Inventory week! Works so hard for me and his boys! I don't know if I could do those kind of hours back to back.

So yesterday I was going to be a good wifey and treat him since I knew he was tired and had to repeat that schedule today by getting his favorite Chickfila. This is something we don't do especially during the week. After I picked up Aiden we went so he could play while Daddy was finishing up and got home. Aiden had a BLAST! There were several kids there eating before church and the staff handed out balloons. The way to my son's heart! haha
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Lots of pampering going on in the Lambert household. lol Aiden got to eat out during the week. I got my nails done. Now it's Daddy's turn...his birthday party next weekend! We are doing a joint for him and Steve since they are so close. Football theme and including water balloons again (I will have my camera ready!). Our relatives from New Orleans are coming up too. I'm making my yummy buffalo chicken dip and I'll probably make the cupcakes too.

But back to my nails. I'm an avid nail biter. Stop a couple years ago, grew them out by the time Aiden was here. And somewhere between then and now I started again...don't know why but I was back to square one. So a few weeks ago I decided to stop with Brody coming I didn't want ugly nails in the pictures. I began using Sally Hansen Miracle Growth again (this stuff REALLY works). You could see the white part on my nails after like 3 days. Yah! This time I'm going to keep my nails shorter and always manicured that way I won't be tempted to bite. Horrible habit I know...my anxiety calmer I guess.

Well one reason why I think my 1st nail growth attempt failed was whenever I got a manicure my nails would be chipped within the hour. So aggravating spending that money on nothing. Well now there is Shellac. And O.M.G! Love it!! I'm on like day 4 and no chips, my nails feel hard, and didn't break the bank. Only $20 bucks! It's suppose to last 2 weeks, but I'm hoping I can get it to last 3. Bye Bye to nail biting forever! (Next time I will be brave and get a color. lol Maybe!)
