Nesting

Ok, I think I have started nesting this week, or at least as close as I'm going to get to it.  I decided to clean the ceiling fan in the dining room the other day.  It was really gross and needed it (our woodstove tends to produce a lot of dust during the winter). Then the next day I was dusting and for some odd reason started dusting off all the door and window trim and wiping down walls.  I thought, "What is wrong with me?" cuz if you know me, you know that I am not one of those gals that thoroughly scours the house weekly or even monthly for that matter.  I decide it just must be my homage to spring cleaning, but then the next day, I became obsessed with reorganizing Hunter's bedroom and putting the crib together.  Since we probably won't have Shelby and Hunter's new bedrooms quite finished by the time she comes home, we've decided to have them share Hunter's old room for the first month or so, at least until we can get the baseboard finished and the carpet installed in the new rooms.  She is probably used to having other kids sleeping with her in the same room, and hopefully it will also help them bond as siblings, although Hunter is worried about her crying a lot during the night. 

Anyway, Hunter got excited to help me, so we hauled all the crib pieces upstairs in "a teamwork" as he calls it.  Then we layed out all the bolts and screws and tried to figure out what went where.  We've borrowed the crib from friends, and they forgot to bring the instructions when they brought the crib a week and a half ago.  Of course, I told them we wouldn't be setting it up for awhile.  But I just kept thinking that if we got the call to travel, the poor girl doesn't even have a place to sleep.  So Hunter and I put the whole thing together by ourselves.  (Scott was elbow-deep in an electrical box that was not wired correctly for the type of chandelier we bought and he was trying to hang. Frustrating work!) Hunter really loved the allen wrench, and it only took us a couple of hours.  An added bonus was that I had a wonderful place for a little guy to take his nap when I babysat for a friend on Friday!
