like little bees

Very busy. Last Saturday was our local airport’s fly-in so we headed up to see the airplanes, helicopters, and cars.

I loved this bi-plane with the wooden propeller. If they would have been giving rides in it I totally would have gone in a heartbeat, nine months pregnant and everything.

Evelyn got to sit in the big army helicopter. She started putting on her seatbelt right away.  I especially like the motion w embroidery for Wisconsin that they had on all the seats.

By the end of the morning she had the ASL sign for helicopter down. Not an easy sign for little hands. Beyond all cuteness.

Then it was home for a nap and finally off to the pool to enjoy one last afternoon swimming before it closed.

She loves that she can sit on the bottom and her chin just touches the water.

It was actually warmer in the big pool and after a few pulls around with her daddy she was kicking and jumping of the edge into his arms. I hope after the baby comes she and I can go to lessons in the indoor pool. She loves it so.

Sunday we went out to my Aunt Janet and Uncle Mike’s house for his 60th birthday and to also celebrate the second birthday of my Cousin Chris and Jonah’s little guy, Brody. Good company and good cake.

Yesterday Aunt Gigi came back from school and she, Momma, the little girl and I headed down to Illinois for an Ikea shopping trip. I bought a bookcase, dresser, a comfortable chair, lamp, and a mini table with chairs. That’s a lot of boxes. Heavy boxes if you ask Momma and Gigi, who did all the lifting. Today I started putting together the little table and chairs. I can’t get one of the screws in the chair and I don’t have a screwdriver long enough to put together the table. So I moved on to the comfortable Poäng chair. I got it together and am happy to say I’m typing this while sitting in it.  I only pinched the palm of my hand a little. Now Scott can put together the rest.

Tomorrow I will get the nursery cleaned up then I can get it painted, hopefully by the end of the week. Then we can start moving stuff in and I can get clothes put away. I think I will feel a little more settled and ready for him if I just have a place to put his clothes and change him. I am also making progress on his quilt and hope to have it at least ready for quilting next week. Things are getting so close!

Maybe I can also find some time in there to rest, too.
