It's been a busy two weeks--company visiting, a weekend trip to the beach, and enough labor symptoms to remind me that I really need to get baby's stuff ready! In between everything I managed to sneak in just enough time to hem Pookie's pants so that her outfit (last seen back here) would be complete.

Pookie is very happy with her outfit (once again that's Vogue pattern 7894 view A)...

and very happily modeled it for me...

which was apparently very tiring...

And now if I can just get one more free moment I'm going to hem Fig's pajama shorts so she can have something new too. More time...that's all I need!

As my husband was gone on business, I spent last week at my parents house with the girls. What a delightful vacation--no cleaning, no cooking, and lots of babysitters! I had some fun shopping the local antique stores and brought home a bundle of goodies for the girls' room (pictures coming soon!)

When we arrived home I had a package waiting for me.

Now I've been dying to do something with the girls' bathroom for a long time, but being pregnant, painting has been out of the question. After browsing the internet for some time I finally came across Modern Wall Graphics and without much thought purchased these bird and branch decals to decorate the bathroom with.

For a whole week I fretted over whether I'd just wasted money on them. Would they look good? or cheap? or tacky? Well, upon opening the package I was immediatley "aww-ing" over them and was even more in love when I finally put them on the wall. It seriously looks like I painted these on--check them out!

They were breeze to put up, look great, and were a fast, easy, and economical way to decorate a small space. Now I'm looking at their site and contemplating what to do about the rest of the bathrooms in the house...!

The rain has stopped.

Outside I am waging a war against a very obnoxious and persistent squirrel. He has dug up my nasturtium seeds, ripped apart my morning glories, and plucked a few sweet peas. My moonflowers are currently the only plants yet untouched. "Irritated" would be putting it mildly. I'm still devising a plan to save my plants/deter the squirrel from using my garden as his grocery store...

I've also been moving some of these violets from the lawn to the garden patch. At the rate this squirrel is going these may be the flowers I get to see this year...

Fig is spending her time outdoors picking dandelions. Pookie is back to searching for worms...

...yes, that's a worm she's holding there. She, amazingly, can find worms anywhere at any time.

Indoors we're cleaning, cleaning, cleaning. Every nook, every cranny, clean, clean, clean! More than just spring cleaning, I think I'm experiencing an extreme case of "nesting."

That's right, nesting--in just two months baby #3 is due (suprise!) So much more time to wait through and yet...so little time for everything I still need to get done! Hopefully (should my energy hold out) there will be new projects to share soon...
