Closet Full of Cuteness

Pretty much everything bugs me right now... I'm huge, uncomfortable, cranky, can't sleep, no clothes fit, and I have absolutely no patience for the boys' never-ending shenanigans.  But enough about that... there are definitely some things that are a lot of fun and make me happy too. Here's a little list so I can focus on the positive during these last couple weeks...
  • A closet full of cuteness...
 Maybe it's a little shallow, but I love just looking at all the girly stuff hanging in the nursery closet. We haven't moved Matt Mo out yet so it's still very "boy" in there, but at least the closet is all girl!
  • I don't feel a bit of guilt about eating whatever I want...I'm already huge and ice cream is great for heartburn relief!
  • As much as I want to meet this little girl, I know she's much easier to take care of while she's inside of me. Plus, feeling all the kicks and squirms in there never seems to get old.
  • Just the thought of sweet newborn cuddles... the smell, the innocence, the fact that she won't be able to talk back to me... it all makes me happy.
  • Getting my nest in order. The energy is starting to run out, but it's fun to get all the baby gear set up and get organized before the chaos and sleep deprivation begin.
  • Even though we haven't done anything to the nursery yet (aside from filling up the closet), it's been fun making big plans for the little lady. I've really got the itch to get Mo out of there now that my mom finished her gorgeous quilt...
 The picture doesn't even do it justice... I love it!

Here's to happy thoughts for the next 12 days and then the real fun begins...wahoo!

Easter

We had quite the Easter weekend including 3 egg hunts, 2 yummy brunches, a visit from the Easter Bunny, and of course, lots and lots of candy!  The boys couldn't wait to check out all the goodies in their baskets...
 They wasted no time digging right in! In case that wasn't enough sugar for one day, we had our 3rd and final egg hunt later on with the cousins. We were especially excited to have cousin Mason in town to celebrate his first Easter with him...
He was content to just sit and play with a few eggs while the bigger kids were on "the hunt"...
The boys were excited to try out their fun egg grabbers from Granny & Pops.  Although, they were a little too competitive to use them for long... it's much faster to use your hands! Here are all the cousins enjoying their loot together on the porch...
And we're still enjoying our Easter candy a week later...3 egg hunts is as good as Halloween!

We are blessed to have spent this special weekend with so many friends and family. Hope your Easter was as sweet as ours!
