A Whole Lotta Somethin'

Some things are finally getting accomplished around here. Not sure why I think it all has to be done in one day. This is Wes's old dresser from when he was little. We're sanding it and repainting it for the nursery. I decided to help Wes out and went out yesterday and gave my arm a workout. Got 3 drawers done, including the painting! Even went & bought new knobs, but they don't fit. Wes has to rig them with washers. Then I tackled some weeding! This patio has been driving me nuts! You can tell how far I got though. I can't kneel b/c of my fall...bruised my knee pretty bad I guess-bout came unglued when I tried...and a fat lady can't bend over very well, so I scooted around on my backside. Good thing we're surrounded by privacy fences. I also planted a few flowers around the little area by the garage. I have high hopes for the back yard, but it probably isn't going to happen this year.

Wes finished sanding the baby bed and I painted it for him. He got the metal parts spray painted last night, so now it is ready to put together. This was my old bed and there were about 4 layers of paint to get through. It took him awhile to do this project. I just hope the mattress fits...he "THINKS" he measured it...if not, he'll be riggin' that too!
I got the letters for Arilynn's name decorated and hung on her wall. For those who haven't heard this name...I made it up! It's Wesley and my middle names combined. Aaron + Lynn = Arilynn Grace Grissom. Now you know her name...
I cannot move today!...well, barely...I'm pretty sure I tried to accomplish a little too much in one day. But, hey!...when things are getting done, I don't like to stop!

One question...what are you going to do in making up a name for the next one?!? Guess you'll have to combine your first names :)
