Today was Lucy's first day in pigtails! You thought she was cute before? Whew! They make her about 40 times cuter. And about 40 times more mischievous.

House pics!
Well, the house is coming along splendidly! We have made huge progress on the downstairs bedroom, the upstairs bedroom and Lucy's bedroom.
Here is the downstairs bedroom. We painted it a gorgeous lavender color and it's like a spa!
We did the upstairs in a very pretty green with darker green accents on the den side.
On Lucy's side, well...you can just see for yourself.
We repainted the kitchen and are VERY pleased with the results. It's just so homey and fun!
Oh, for the love of pete...
The carpet guys got here at 9:30. It's now 2pm. They've only finished one room, and I really doubt the countless smoke breaks are helping them work faster. Lucy desperately needs a nap and will not sleep anywhere but her crib, and I can't take her for a drive because they're here. She keeps running to the stairs and pointing up to her crib. Poor kid!
At this rate, Andrew will be home before they're done. Jeez. Guess we'll go clean the bedroom while we wait. Throwing herself around on our bed will distract her for awhile. Thank goodness she found an open package of animal crackers somewhere. She's laying on the hardwood floor talking to a hippo.

Finally sitting...
It's been a long day. We're turning Lucy's bedroom upstairs into a toddler paradise and it's draining me!
When I got pregnant with Lucy, I didn't get to decorate a nursery. We were in a tiny little apartment with not even enough room for her little pack n play. I was disappointed, but delivering a healthy baby was more important. So, now that Lucy has a bedroom of her own, it's my obsession. I want it to be perfect! We painted her walls green and she has all different sized polka dots in a lot of different colors. Tomorrow morning I'm painting a magnetic chalkboard on the wall and hanging her cute little polka dotted curtains. At 9am, we're having carpet installed and it should match perfectly. I can't WAIT to post pictures! I've been hand painting circles all day and it looks so beautiful. It looks like a place where Lucy's imagination can run wild and I just love it. We're not very materialistic people, but we like our home to be comfortable and peaceful. Lucy's room really reflects that and it just looks like her mommy and daddy want her to love her little piece of this home. I love it.
Grandma also brought up Lucy's big girl bed! She won't be moving into it until next spring, but it's waiting patiently for her! Josiah grew out of it in a blink so it made it's way to us sooner than we expected! I think we'll put it together this fall so that we can "get used to it." The crib will eventually have someone else sleeping in it, but I think that's going to be a struggle I don't want to think about! Lucy loves her crib so much, maybe more than chocolate! Today while I painted she just sat in it and watched me, totally thrilled to be in her favorite place with her favorite Mama.

Tuesday
I had a lovely day with Lucy. She's so funny. Andrew came home around 5 and brought me a gorgeous pair of diamond earrings, just because it was Tuesday. Perfect. I love him so much. It was so wonderful to receive such a beautiful gift, just standing in my kitchen heating up a casserole.
