Trying to stay busy

Here's some pictures of a little update from the past week or so in no particular order.

My sister and BIL and son have been staying with my parents for the last almost month while they were working. So I got to spend a lot of time with my sister and sweet nephew Kash. Such a cute little boy! I love a baby all clean after tubby time. 

Who says you have to go camping to make s'mores? 

23 week baby bump and new pregnancy shirt I ordered. Growing, growing and getting pretty uncomfortable and scared knowing I still have a ways to go. Wednesday I will be 6 months prego! Woop woop!

I had made a bow/ clip holder and didn't love how it turned out. After a trip to Hobby Lobby with my mom and sister, I ended up getting a few things to re do it and am MUCH more happy with how it turned out. 

Another little craft for miss K's room!

I gave 3 haircuts on Sunday. Seems like every time I'm out at my parents that someone is in need of a haircut. I got to cut my nephew's hair and he did SO good! Turns out all you gotta do is bribe them with smarties and tootsie rolls ;)

His freaking cute new cut. Is he not just the cutest!?

So my SIL was given a changing table and didn't need it or have room for it. So she gave it to me. It's muchly appreciated being helped out with all the baby stuff we have to get. It's not my favorite especially where the drawers are on the side, but it will work great and that's what matters. I'm pretty sure it's one that was originally hooked to a crib and that's why the drawers are on the side like that. So it's meant to be used up and down rather than sideways. I will have to put it somewhere in the middle of a wall and not a corner or something so I can get to the drawers. Which is fine. I'm grateful to have it! I ended up taking it to my dad's shop so I could sand and prime it so I can paint it. My crib is black so I wanted all the furniture to match. Just a side note, I didn't think repainting something was a big deal but whooooeeee. Hours later I finally got it sanded and primed with only one wood chip to the eye and a VERY adgetated sciatic nerve. I'm such a girl. I would almost rather pay someone to do that than me do it or simply buy a new one so I don't even have to deal with it. haha As soon as it's finished I'll do an after picture. May be a while as I'm dreading painting it.

There was a huge storm the other day. We live in a basement, so it's dark. Everything was howling and creaking and I honestly was slightly scared. Caleb was at work so it was just me and Libbie at home. I made her come snuggle me so I wasn't alone. I typically like storms, but when I'm alone and there's tornado warnings with it, I get kinda freaked out.

Another baby purchase I snatched up today. I saw this on Rexburg Garage and Yardsales on Facebook. It's SUPER rare that I am able to make a deal with the seller before someone else because things literally get snatched in seconds to minutes. So when I saw this I realized no one had commented on it out of the 21 comments. So I told her I was interested and seriously a second after I posted another girl was interested. I was first though so I took it for $17 dollars. Perfect condition. I think that's a good deal. I was trying to research and see how much these were new and they were anywhere from 50 to 70 bucks from what I saw. Not a super fancy swing but it's cute and works great. Had to snatch it.

As for other news. Caleb has still been working like crazy. He even had to work Sunday which was a a rare occasion and never typically has to unless he has to go put in an order or something. It's been SO chaotic at his work the last while. People put on bed rest, people in the hospital, people quitting cause schools done, or whatever the reason. So Caleb's had to take on all those responsibilities and it's kept him super busy! If you need a job waitressing, go apply! I've been trying to be patient with him working a lot and him not really being home much. It's been kinda hard especially where I'm not working anymore. Parts of me wishes I were but at the same time, I'm grateful I'm not and I try to stay busy in other ways. I'm ready for his schedule to go back to normal so that I can have my husband back. We haven't been able to do anything this summer like I had hoped too. Mainly because since he works so much, when he finally does get home, he just wants to relax. Which I totally get. I wouldn't want to be going going going and never have a second to myself. Oh well, you do what ya gotta do. 

Caleb's family reunion is coming up next week. That is, IF we can even go anymore with how hectic Caleb's work is right now. We are going to be staying at a cabin in Island Park. First time we have EVER done anything like this. Since Caleb's the baby of the family we are the ones booted out to a tent since there aren't enough rooms. I'm ok with it. It will count as a camping trip/ little vacation all in one I suppose. Then the week or two after that we will be heading to Boise again. Crazy it's been 6 months already since we were there. I swear it was just last month or something. Gotta love our twice a year or more Boise business trips. I like them because It's a reason to get out with Caleb, and they are always completely paid for. But, I also don't love them since they're chucked full of meetings for Caleb which leaves me alone in a city I'm not familiar with. I used to visit my grandpa when I was down there but now that he's gone I have no family to see or anything. One can only browse the mall and store's for so long, and explore a city you've already been too. All on your own might I add. In the past the businesses we work with treat us to dinner and then usually a fun something. Like in the past we went to a Broncos game, or an ice hockey game with our own suite. Both are fun but I think this year since I'll be 7 months prego I don't know if I'll be up to walking for hours or standing on my feet for hours and hours while staying out till way way late. So, I may end up just staying at the hotel while Caleb get to go out and have fun. Kinda stinks, but, I try to make the best of it somehow. Either way, I'm looking forward to spending time with Caleb, even if it's mainly spent in the car ride there and back.
