All Done!

Minus one safety rail, the bunk beds are finished!! I’m so thrilled to have it done and the crib set up. Cal’s still sleeping in cradle in our room for now, but it’s nice to know his room is ready for him when he’s ready for it. Ollie loves sleeping “way up high like Ivan”.  (Ivan has the top bunk in the big boys’ room.) There are still a few things I want to do in this room (like rebuild the closet, and put up trim) before it’s totally, totally done. But having the beds done is a HUGE step in the right direction.

The who-does-Baby-Cal-look-like mystery has finally been solved, thanks to a little help from my TOFW friends! This past weekend I went to Time Out For Women in Salt Lake with my mom and some of our mutual Hooper friends, who are women I’ve known practically since birth. I had to bring Cal this year because , and as soon they saw him they all insisted that he looked exactly like me little brother Tanner. I wasn’t sure I agreed, so I looked up some old pictures when I got home, and sure enough. In the above picture, Tanner is on the left and Cal on the right. I always knew Cal was Lemmony. :) 

Cal was literally the perfect baby all weekend. The only time he even made a peep was one drive in the car when he was too hot, but once I took his blanket off he was all smiles and slobbery coos. 

And what’s this, you ask, well it’s dyed pasta of course, counters full of it. You know, for making beaded necklaces. Ivan’s class is celebrating Native Americans and Pilgrims for Thanksgiving, and I volunteered to provide colored pasta. Go big or go home, I guess. 

Ollie is taking after his older siblings and loves, loves, loves to play games. Usually when we play games he gets assigned to be on someone’s team. But today we found a game he can play without help. Old Maid. And he smoked me.
