On the Surface

My photo
United Kingdom
The scatterbrained thoughts of a wife (who's married to a military man), mother, daughter and friend and most importantly a follower of Jesus. A place for me to share my life and thoughts with others, but mainly for my own satisfaction. You don't have to agree with my opinions, and that's ok. If you like being wrong. Ha!

Strange Appearances

Strange things have been appearing all over my house. It started about two weeks ago and still continues.





Exhibit A: Shoes that are clearly too large for my feet.












Exhibit B: Not my wallet, knife, or rings. However, I will gladly keep all evidence contained in wallet.














Exhibit C: Shopping bag from unfamiliar store. Definitely not one of my regular places of spending.









Exhibit D: Firewood? Orange snake?















Exhibit E: Unidentifiable object.












Exhibit F: More firewood? It's the wrong season. Also, no known fireplace in the house.










Exhibit G: Robot in a box? Espresso machine?

















Exhibit H: Culprit found

29 Weeks

Here's the bump at 29 Weeks. Forgive the frizzy hair, it was the end of a pretty humid day and I was tired (and my pj pants are pretty much the most comfortable thing I wear now). I'm feeling huge and uncomfortable even tho everyone and there mother tells me how tiny I am for seven months. But, I do love feeling the baby move around. I just don't love it when he does it at 4 a.m. and I'm starving and have to get up to eat. Fernando is able to really feel him moving around too, which is fun. 11 weeks to go. AAAAAH!!









Roman's Room



So here are some before pictures of Roman's room.
(And of Fernando prepping the room for paint :D) The walls were the same neutral yellow color that's in the rest of the house.







































The after paint job! We LOVE the way everything turned out. I still have to make the curtains and sew a few other things, so I'll add those pics whenever that gets done. The shelf that's there was something we already had, but decided to find furniture that would match that. We looked at cribs at Target, and found one we liked, but weren't able to get it (after going online and to a Target 2 HOURS away) we settled on this one. Which turned out to be WAY less expensive and PERFECT match. WOO HOO!




Fernando painted most of the room. I painted some of the wall that the shelf is leaning against, but Fernando did the borders and the rest of the room. He's pretty much a professional.
And yes, his carseat/stroller matches his room. We didn't do that intentionally do that, we're just that good. :P
