Chrstmas time is almost here!

Busy, busy weekend! On Saturday I took my cousins to go paint pottery. We did this last year too for their Christmas present from me. They both did such a great job. I can't wait to see how it all turns out! Jeff, Michaela & Anna made it home this weekend too and it was so much fun hanging out with them. Anna is just so cute!! She was all dressed up in her Christmas dress for church this morning, and wanted to play basketball in it too when she got home.

Our church service today was mostly a song service put on by the choir. Instead of sitting and standing as usual, this time we sat most of the service and just listened. I guess it must have been what I ate before the service, or how I was sitting, or something...but the twins were having another "Party" in my tummy during the whole thing. I kept elbowing Matt and he'd look over and see the alien-like movements across my stomach. It was so weird to be able to see them move!! Mom got to feel them move this weekend too, which was cool. Everyone keeps telling me about the "Big Jabs" that I'll start feeling soon. I actually can't wait!

Matt started tiling upstairs bathroom this weekend. I think he thought that a small room would be easy, but it seems like the narrow workspace is making it more dificult than he thought. I think it will look great when it's done though. Then we can order carpet for the whole upstairs! Once that is all finished we'll be done with the nursery and everything...except that we have no nursery furniture yet. I guess I'll have to get on that soon too! As for a nursery theme (Since everyone is asking me) I decided that I didn't like any of the "Neutral" decor that's out there. I want either very "Boyish" or very "Girly-girly" stuff for my kids! I found some bedding at Babies R' Us that I like. I picked out one boy set and one girl set that, I think, go together well just in case we have one of each. I figure that we won't be using the nursery right away anyway, so I'll have plenty of time to wash all of the bedding and put it on their cribs after they're born. I'll take pictures of it all when it's finished!!
If you happened to notice, it's Matt's annual "Grow out the beard" time again. I hate to admit it, but I actually love it! Anna called him "Fuzzy face Matt" today. So cute!!
