Nesting...

Well, I am officially nesting! Too bad I have a hard time bending down while I am feeling so ambitious!

Nesting is so odd. I do not have any extra energy, but I am compelled to get a lot of stuff done! Truly, my ginormous body is NOT in the best shape to be ordered around, but again, I feel like I have to do lots of really important jobs!

Since I am nesting, everyone around me is nesting too! Here's Tommy last Saturday “nesting:"





Here's our sweet Faithie girl “nesting:" : )




Yep, I even sucked in my niece and nephew. Sven said they could visit today if they were working. Gotta love that plan! Here's our Joshie “nesting:"




Just to give you an idea of what we're talking about here- just today I repainted the front porch (using a roller and a pole so I didn't have to bend over), cleaned the house, trimmed my carpet roses, weeded, led the kids in some planting projects, did laundry, dusted and did some minor redecorating. When I could no longer physically stand I sat down... begrudgingly. I could see dust from where I was sitting.

Sadly, several of the girls have been suffering with a cold this week. I am sure they are very sorry to be resting when they could be nesting!


Please feel free stop on by- there's plenty of “nesting” for everyone! : )

  1. So.. . . can your family nest in my house? We certainly have plenty of things for you guys to do.

  3. Hi Lois and Kristi!

    Sounds fun! : ) I wish y'all lived closer!

    You know, I think I must be worried that I won't get anything accomplished once the baby is born. My recovery takes a while. At least I'm supposed to let it take a while...

    I'm working on landscaping this week- bark, rock, raking, shoveling, moving plants. I'm really having fun! Tom is helping me when he can and I realized tonight that it's a lot more fun when we're working together.

    The kids still have the sniffles, so I am still having them take it easy, but they do seem to be on the mend and pitch in for little bits at a time.

    Love,
    RJ
