This weekend was family weekend! Back in August I started to notice our weekends before the baby arrived were all filling up. I marked this weekend off on the calendar and made sure we didn't make any plans. It's crazy how busy life can be with work, volunteering at church, and friends/family stuff. I get to spend my 7 days off with Callie, but we finally got some quality time as a family of 3.
Task #1= Starting Callie's big girl room. Callie was served her crib eviction notice back in May and since he will be here in 15 weeks we decided it was time to start the transition. Do you know how hard it is to find toddler bedding for a full bed that doesn't look like a teenager? Maybe we are just picky, but after looking high and low we finally found the perfect set. Callie was really excited about her "big girl bed" and was thrilled about her mermaid sheets when she was tucked in for the 1st time last night. She slept in her bed all night with no falls yet! We are sure she will figure out she can escape soon enough. This week we have Daddy has some painting to do :) Then it's on to little brother's room.

Task #2= Pumpkin patch trip. Last year Callie was obsessed with the pumpkin patch. Well, nothing has changed this year. After church, lunch, and a nice 3 hour nap we told her where we were going. We haven't seen her more excited to get ready and jump in the car. She picked out 3 pumpkins (after looking at every single one..a few times). When we got back to the car we let her hold the 2 smaller ones. I turned around to her holding the bigger one and she put the smaller one in her baby brother's lap. I asked her if she liked her pumpkins and she said "This is Callie's pumpkin, that is Baby Brother's pumpkin." Hopefully she still wants to share with him when he gets here for real and isn't just a baby doll.
