Our 'to do before baby' list is getting shorter and shorter! If you know me, you know I love to cross things off a list. It runs in my family. :) We've gotten so much done the past few weeks, the baby could come anytime and we would be ready! I love getting ready for baby. It's such a sweet, fun feeling of expectation. In fact, last night I opened up a package of newborn swaddler diapers (already stocking the diaper bin). All I had to do was smell the package and a flood of memories came back of when Cyrena wore them. I had David smell it too so he could share in the memories. Of course Cyrena had to smell them too, she's a smeller like me. She could NOT believe how small they were. She said they wouldn't fit her bum and boy is she right. I'm ready for the shock of how different a newborn is going to look and seem compared to my gigantic almost 3 year old. So yesterday we got some more things crossed off our list:
*clean the garage
*overseed our lawn (here in Arizona you have to plant winter grass every year)
*prune the trees in our backyard
*wash the car
*get copies made for preschool (through December)
*loads of baby laundry
*clean the infant car seat
*finish cleaning out Cyrena's room
*fill boxes for charity
Whew! We were exhausted after all that. Here are some funny pictures from the day. Every Saturday we let Cyrena stay in her pajamas for as long as she wants since it's the one day we don't have to hurry and go somewhere after we get up. It makes her so happy. So here she is in her morning glory with a coat on since it was a little chilly.
Also, she wouldn't stand up to hose the car off, she wanted to sit on the rolling chair.
Too funny.
I went and ran errands during her nap and when I got back I found her in the park by our house taking pictures of David trying, unsuccessfully, to fly a kite. She got some great shots, even though her finger was on the lens. I wish I could have taken a picture of her taking pictures--she's classic, as is this picture.
This is the time of year to be in Arizona----BEAUTIFUL!!!
