Love my son... soon to be sons.

I love, love, love, LOVE my son's laugh... it makes my heart burst with joy. I can't wait to hear another little one's laugh soon.

I'm thinking Diaper Shower will be the first weekend in November. I'll still be on maternity leave and it's still far enough away from Thanksgiving so I won't be crowding the holidays. It'll also give me time to get some work done in the house. We still need pictures on the walls. My parents are getting new furniture delivered tomorrow, so we inherited a dining room table and chairs and also a 3 piece liquor cabinet. I have big plans for that... One piece is a two door cabinet which I will put on the bottom (will hold snacks, popcorn, things of that nature), then there's another piece that hold wine bottles/liquor bottles - this will become Bobby's new shoe rack. The spaces are big enough to hold his massive shoes and deep enough to fit both pair in there. The 3rd piece is a 2 drawer section that will go on top of the cabinet (for bottles, bibs, etc.), and to top everything off I'm going to get a small microwave to set on top of it. Our mini-fridge is currently in the garage, but it will soon have a home near the cabinet set and microwave. This house is WAY to big for me to be running up and down the stairs for middle of the night bottles.

Now if they would just get a new bedroom suite, I can steal their dresser and refinish it and put it in our room. I'm getting ready to steal their headboard, it doesn't fit their bed. It'll fit a queen or king, but my parents have a California king, and it does not fit that. Now if Kohl's would have a buy one get one free sale on home decor...

Oh, and we recently ran a 50% off wide format color prints at work. So I went ahead and paid for a 20x30, two 16x20s, and two 11x14s in advance (all for $25, yay!) We're FINALLY gonna do family pictures this year and I'll be using those to do the enlargements. Those will be going on the wall over the couch. I'm still unsure about how to decorate the pool table area. I'm thinking of doing it all sports themed (man-cave style). Tennessee for Bobby, Hawaii for me and Ronnie and Alabama for mom and dad.

BTW, I can't wait for college football to start back up!
