Waiting......

Well, we made it through the birthday party and the big move--now all we have left to do is wait. Wait for Don's graduation from College, wait for Caden's preschool graduation and wait for Nugget to come. We moved 90% of our stuff down to the new house and for the next month we are up in Monterey eating off of paper plates and sleeping on blow up mattresses (not easy being 8 months pregnant). Even with an empty house we've managed to keep entertained and stay busy. The kids have had a lot of fun "breaking in" some of the baby gear. They've played in the car seat, the bath tub, the stroller and much more. Elmo has even had a chance to try out the baby stuff. I guess they just want to make sure the gear is safe for little nugget. We also got the kids ready for nuggets arrival by letting them decorate his room that he will soon be evicted from (mommy's belly). They had a blast tracing their hand prints and coloring all over the baby bump.

Cheap entertainment. Who knew trader Joe's reusable bags could keep kids entertained for so long?
