Phase one and free stuff

Well, phase one of the nursery is underway. Garrett started hanging the wainscoting over the weekend. Now, don't judge the pictures it is still a work in progress. It still needs to be caulked and painted white.

Phase two will consist of hanging crown molding and phase three will be to paint the walls navy. I am so lucky to have such a handy husband. Just think of how much money we are saving by Garrett doing the work. Not to mention the pride he has and he loves to do it.

Here are some pictures of the work in progress. I will post more as more is completed.

Here is my handyman hard at work. Can't you just picture two little boys there also trying to help their daddy.

On another note, my cousin Angie called me on Saturday and told me that she was ready to get rid of all of their baby stuff i.e. toys and clothes. I went over there on Sunday and came home with my car completely full, the seats were folded down and everything.

The best part was that she had kept all of the toys and clothes that my mom had given her boys. I am now the proud owner of all of them. It is really awesome that my boys will get to play and wear things that my mom picked out. Angie also gave me so many other toys that will be so great. Many of them we registered for and I think I will keep them on my registry. We only registered for one of each large toy, so with the ones from Angie we will have two of each. Or, if we don't need two, we can take some of them to my dad's house for the boys to play with over there.

My cousin's favorite store for her two boys is Janie and Jack and she gave me a ton of clothes from there! They are so handsome. I am obsessed with little boys and corduroy pants and Angie gave me a ton from Janie and Jack. Her youngest is now four and and her oldest is six, so she is going to save all of their clothes from here on out for me. Yea!! Thanks Angie!!!
