house fun

I am seriously struggling with this blogging thing lately. It's been cray cray lately to say the least. Sooo, in a nutshell. I'm looking super fat and preg which is AWESOME, we've been to California a few times, I made it through the hardest semester I've ever done (just to start up again last week! ugh), and we have been doing lots of house projects (surprise, surprise!).

Today we went to home depot on the way home from Wes' piano recital to grab some gray paint chips for the house, because as it turns out, it is impossible to find a good gray, instead though, we ended up coming home with a million bushes and some edging, and decided today was the perfect day to tear up our yard. WHAT?!! But it worked out and it's looking really good. Physical labor is fun sometimes! Seriously, I love it. Although, lets me honest, I'll let Tanner do the rest of the yard without me. I'm tired!  

Se here is what we did today! I wish I had a before because it's a lot different. But instead, just imagine lots of weeds. And... after.......

We dug out a bunch of grass, and dug a trench to put this edging in. I saw more spiders today then I have seen in my entire life combined. Such a treat. We really need to call a bug guy. 

We are super excited that our house doesn't look like a meth house anymore! haha. We've still got more to do in front along the side of the driveway, but after today I don't want to think about that.  The thing I am MOST excited for though is what I have in store for (hopefully) next week. I am going to paint our door a fun shade of green like the one below. Crazy that I don't like that beautiful brown we have now, I know. I am going to paint the inside and outside the same color.

And since I always love stalking peoples bump pictures... I've basically ballooned over that past two weeks. Maybe it's the stress? Or maybe I just have a human inside of me.  So here it is. The 24 week bump. (and a messy house) I feel like I look like I'm due any day now.
