Mmmm...meat!

...When will this madness ever end? I just can't get enough of canning and food saving things. I'm pretty sure I'm nesting. Is it too early to do that? Check out my list of things to do before baby comes...
Finish painting nursery
Clean all baseboards/ touch-up paint around house
Paint rocking chair
Paint cupboards in hallway and our bathroom
New flooring (but I know that's not happening...so I'll settle with cleaning carpets)
Make shelves for 2 bedrooms
Clean out office to make playroom

...And that's just the beginning! Be grateful that you're not married to me.

On a funnier note, here is Luke showing us how NOT to apply lipstick. He loves to get them all out and hasn't tried to put any on...until yesterday. I'm not sure where he got the idea that it goes in the eye??
"eeee" (Luke's way of saying "cheese")

Nesting for sure! I love that you canned Choco Chips. If we had to live off our food sotrage I would want some sweets in there too. Maybe today while I am at Costco I will go get some to add to our storage. Thanks for the Idea.

I think it's great all the canning and such that you've been up to! Way to go! And as for your todo list, well, I am a total fan of those. They just help you be so productive!

I love nesting. The most organized my house has ever been! Looks like you have been busy! I have never thought to can chocolate chips!

P.S. I love your family picture! Your boys are adorable and I love the matching blazers! Where do you come up with such great family picture ideas?
