Staying Busy

I've been staying busy this week, and we took a 1 night trip to Lake Geneva.  Katie and I planned this for Greg and Ray as their father's day gift.  We went to Timber Ridge Thursday morning and took the kids to the waterpark and then went to a nice dinner.  Friday morning the guys golfed, and Katie and I spent the whole morning back at the waterpark.  We had a great time, and it was Kayla's first little vacation.  Kenley went on the biggest waterslide there accompanied by all of the adults at one time or another.  Yes, I was 8-1/2 months pregnant going on a raft waterslide, but don't worry, it wasn't too crazy, and I only did it once.  (Mainly because I didn't have the energy to climb all those stairs again.) I was also hoping that maybe it would jump start labor.

Ray and I had a little date night and went to a nice dinner.  We don't know if we will have a chance to celebrate our anniversary, so it was kind of a pre-celebration.  Then, we went to a little street fest on Sunday, which was fun, but I didn't last very long walking around in the hot sun.  We also bought a new couch for our upstairs, which is being delivered on Friday!  I like our couch we have, but it is SO hard to keep clean with kids and pets, so we are going with leather.

I know it's probably pretty wierd that I keep blogging about cleaning my house, but for some reason I feel like that has been taking up so much of my time!  I really do think this is part of nesting because I have done some wierd things that I have never done before.  Today, I replaced all of the felt scratch-resistant backings on the bottoms of our chairs on the hardwood floor.  I guess it was something good since I have never done that since we moved here 3 years ago, but I just had an impulse that I had to get it done.  I have also been washing anything and everything that will fit into our washing machine.  Every blanket, towel, shower curtain, even some cloth bags.  No idea why these things seem so important to me right now. 

That's all I'm up to right now.  I'm kind of just making plans day to day right now, and hoping that my next post will include a picture of my son!  Trying to be patient......
