6.28.10 Clown Shoes

One of Jakob's favorite pasttimes these days is to put on adults shoes, and walk about the house in them. He usually uses my house slippers, but today he managed to get my tennis shoes on (on the wrong feet mind you) and walked around in them. It was so funny. He looked like a clown!

6.27.10 New Game Room!

I finally finished the painting and Jeff and Nabeel got all the furniture moved in. The room went from having hardly anything in it, to being packed, but I really love it. I think it is my favorite room in the house now! We celebrated by playing a fun game of Risk, and the boys played video games after that. This is the only before picture I can find, and it's from the other side, but you can kind of see the difference!

6.26.10 Jen's Baby Shower

Jen had her baby shower today for her twin girls she is expecting within the month. It was probably one of the most fun showers I have ever been to, thanks to the funny old ladies who ran the games. Jen's brother Jason helped plan/organize the shower, and designed this cake for her. He insisted on it being two teirs, which meant it fed 50-60 people (there were only about 15-20 there)! I thought it was one of the cutest cakes I have ever seen though, with it's two little giraffes made of fondant. It tasted pretty good too!

6.25.10 Dog on a Dogskin Rug

Don't worry PETA, its a fake! I just thought it was so cute when I found peanut curled up on Jakob's dog blanket, resting her head on his little stuffed head. She looks pretty exhausted, but she does have to run away from Jakob quit frequently.

6.24.10 Going Bonkers

My favorite shot of Jakob taking one in the face, and cracking up about it!

Today I had a playdate in Lewisville with Amber and Torie. We went to a place called Going Bonkers, which is like an indoor jungle gym, with lots of nets and foam to keep it safe. They have a seperate play are for kids under three, and the equiptment is safe for adults too. At first Jakob seemed hesitant and a bit scared of everything. After some yummy chicken nuggets for lunch in the cafe though, he was ready to "go bonkers". He ran around screaming and laughing and nose-diving into the tunnels, and bouncing on the net trampoline...we had alot of fun. And man did he nap good on the ride home, and even mroe when we got there!

6.23.10 Let the Painting Begin!

I got started on the painting in our entryway and family/game room today, and immeadiately hoped I wouldn't regret the color choice. I hadn't really thought it was too dark until I started putting it on the walls. I think it is just such a change though that it will take a few days to get use to. Once I get the trim painted, and everything hung back on the walls, that will surely help too. The tan definately looks better with the carpet though than the sky blue did, and I love how much warmer the room feels now.

6.22.10 Shopping for a Dresser

I decided Jakob needs a dresser in his new big boy room (which we will be doing at the end of next month) and so I took Jakob shopping with me. We went to Rooms to Go Kids, and he had a ball climbing on all the kids size chairs. I wish I could buy him one, but the dresser is going to be expensive enough. I may have to scope garage sales!
