can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars....

It's Thursday!! and that means it's craft day!! So, Jesse and I got out the paint and brushes and started on a project for Baby Schiff's room. This is his first original painted project that we'll be making him from now until he's here...the first official project was the star thing that Jesse did last week! So....what did we paint!? A rocket ship!! It's not completely done...as you will be able to tell in the pics below. We had to let the paint dry... we still have quite a bit to add in the next few days until it's completely finished! But, once it's done... it'll be super cute!! 

While we were painting tonight we talked about baby names. Some of you may know that if Baby Schiff was a girl we had already decided on a name. But shoot, this boy name has been quite difficult for us. We had one name picked out that we both agreed on, however, Jesse has changed his mind. So we threw a few more out there tonight. I'm not going to reveal what we decided on...because who knows... we'll probably change our minds again. I will say that the initials on the names that we're tossing around are R.L.S., C.L.S., J.L.S., and S.L.S. The middle name is obviously going to be Lee...since that is both Jesse and I's middle name. :) So friends, soon you shall know the name of our baby boy....or we might just keep it a secret until he's here. haven't decided yet! 

I also decided on a big craft project for the baby's room. It's going to take a lot of time and effort, but I'm positive it will be worth it when i'm finished. I'm going to make alphabet stencils for a "learning wall" in the baby's room. It's going to be square blocks with each letter of the alphabet. I'm super excited to get started on this. Also, i'm going to make a growth chart for baby as well. Again, this is going to take some time. I'm thinking about cutting the wood myself....or should I say...seeing if Dad will help cut the wood :) Once I start these projects, I'll be sure to keep pictures of how they are coming along. Hopefully, both will turn out the way i'm picturing! fingers crossed!! 

Well, that's about it for tonight. It's late and i have a pointless meeting early in the a.m. for work....and seeing that EVERYWHERE is flooded right now, I have to leave extra early to make it there on time. My feet are also very swollen tonight and I don't know why...so I think it's time for bed and time to elevate the feet! Night all! 

the beginning....

the end of the project for tonight.... (not completely finished yet though!)

I love Carrie Underwood...and this song. Watch it! :)
