Our weekend actually started on Thursday because the Hubster had Friday off! That was a welcome surprise considering he had been gone and not only did he come home SEVERAL days early but he also got Friday off! :-) I was a very happy camper!
I was so glad he got Friday off because I had my 34 week appointment and he got to go, this was his second time to get to go with me to our new doctor! It was a miracle that he was able to come to ONE appointment, let alone TWO!!! I loved having him home for three days! However, the relaxing can only last so long when you know that a little someone is VERY close to making her big debut!!! So on Saturday and Sunday we got to work!
The weekend wouldn't be complete without a trip to Home Depot! The Hubster also went to Lowe's a time or two :-)
While at Home Depot I discovered this WONDERFUL surprise! Martha now makes GLITTER paint..and in hot pink no less. Needless to say I was way too excited about this paint! :-)
This little beauty has now been introduced to chalkboard paint! I am replacing the ribbon and will put this in the Nursery when it's all finished...stay tuned for the MANY nursery projects I worked on this weekend!!!!
The Hubster painted Emma Claire's Chandelier on Sunday! Here is the wonderfully brassy before ;-) Now it is SO. STINKIN'. CUTE. Just wait until you see it up in her room, it's ADORABLE!!!
The girls always love when we spend days outside :-) They just hung out and "spoke" with lots of neighbors!
Speaking of neighbors...on Sunday the Hubs and I met a TON of our neighbors that we hadn't yet! Our next door neighbors just had a sweet little girl last week, and I met a sweet young Mommy from across the street who has a toddler, AND our other next door neighbor gave us a "welcome to the neighborhood" bottle of wine! It was so nice to get to meet so many people...however it was NOT so nice that I had ZERO make-up on, was covered in dirt/paint from projects, and had lovely paint clothes on ;-) I guess you can't always be dressed to impress!
Is this not THE cutest picture? The Hubster installed the car seat this weekend as well! He was pretty much super husband/daddy all weekend! He was so excited to get all of the baby gear in his car! I was cracking up :-)
I CANNOT wait to do a post about the nursery y'all...it's getting SO CLOSE!!! I'm almost done with all of my little projects and I cannot wait to share them with you! This weekend was quite the productive weekend! Although, after all of our hard work I broke down and didn't cook a Sunday night dinner...we totally ordered pizza from our favorite local pizza place and watched The Ugly Truth :-) I guess it's okay to have a lazy Sunday evening after having SUCH a productive weekend! I hope y'all had a great weekend!
Don't forget to enter my SCENTSY GIVEAWAY!!! :-)

Decorating the nursery is so much fun!
ok I am ready to see some pictures now!!!!
I cannot wait to see the nursery all put together!!!
oh my gosh! we just got home from HD and I found that same glitter paint and tried to convince hubs that I needed it... that is so awesome that you got it and used it!
I am dying to see your nurserrrry!!! :) YAY!!! Love the old brassy chandelier- i bet it looks amazing now! I had my mom re-do a brassy bed and she painted it white-- wish I had before/after pics too!
I'm laughing about the meeting neighbors/zero make-up thing. Let's just say, SO FAR I've successfully managed to avoid meeting our new neighbor while NOT wearing make-up. I take the puppy out to...you know...and I'm so afraid that while I look less-than-amazing, THAT'S when they'll come out. Haha! I'm awful. :)
Anyway...the rest of what you posted, you all are just too cute. :)
And I'm off to enter the giveaway! (Somebody didn't read blogs this weekend...can you tell?)
Sophisticated Steps
yay for meeting your neighbors! it sounds like you are going to have lots of playdates soon!
have you used the glitter paint? is it hard to use? i heard it is hard to work with.
I am so relating to this post! We bought a house 10 days ago and have made no less than 6 trips to home depot. and the dirty paint clothes and no make-up...hello-that's also been me for about 10 days now too! can't wait to see emma claire's room!
Ooh.. a brass chandelier! Our house had SO much brass in it when we bought it and we're still working to get rid of it.
Hooray for helpful husbands! Mine willingly helped me with my crazy, over-the-top To Do list this weekend.
that chalkboard was a score! and the end result is fantastic. good work girlie!
