misc happenings

it has been a while but here's an update finally!

my last house project before i went into nesting retirement (at least the power tools edition) our closet is now nicely organized and painted :) and J thinks the bottom shelf is his :)


in order to carry out our plans to get goats this spring, we need to move our garden to the parking strip. in order for that to be feasible we need for there not to be an aphid infested tree 10 feet away from the new garden spot. so... my hard working husband cut it down. (to the dismay of many of our emotionally invested neighbors)


for the time being this is what's left... A + J = "heart"


J riding his dino with his birthday polar bear from uncle joe and aunt ashley :) yes the bear is wearing a red diaper... he's not fully housebroken yet.


i recently completed the freezer stocking phase of nesting... now i'm just trying to be in the "enjoy being J's mom" phase.


J chillin' with his peeps... or trying to... the chickens scatter when he goes in the coop.


ok so i might have played a little prank... i'm at home all day with a 2 year old... i told him this was his baby brother


speaking of at home all day with a 2 year old:
what a helper! he tried to fix his mess...


and i am always finding things in places he has deemed the "perfect spot" for them
crayon


snotty tissue


while i was prepping dinner one night J said, "mama, I find pink" and sure enough he had collected every shade!


proud little guy!

Jordan made a dutch apple pie! um yum! delicious!


as far as baby news goes... as of yesterday this little guy is officially at term (37 weeks) so yay! whenever you're ready little man. maybe the next time i post the co-star will have arrived.
