PU!!!!!

Well, Aunt Janis, I should have listened to you about the D-Con. My closet REEKS!!!!! It's a walk-in and full everything right now as we get ready for the baby. I knew I was going to have to clean it out before this little guy arrived, and now I definitely have an incentive to get a move on it. I hope they are not in the walls, although the thought of dead mice somewhere in my closet isn't a pleseant thought. But, hopefully they are all dead now.

Craig is painting Mason's room green as i type this. I am so excited!!! My dad is going to call this afternoon to see if Craig needs some help. I hope he can help Craig because Craig still isn't feeling the greatest...not a whole lot of energy. Last night Mason asked if Craig could paint "swirlys" on his walls. I told him no, probably not. Then Mason asked if it was because swirlys were for girls. I told him "no, we just don't have time right now to paint extra things". Maybe this summer I can add a little pizzazz to his walls.

Mason has a full blown cold now. Started yesterday. He is pretty miserable, but still his cheerful self. Just a little less energetic. Craig still has a low grade fever. He has an appt for Tuesday. I need some healthy people in this house. I am still praying I don't come down with anything. Hopefully the pregnancy will give me some protection. Alyssa is coming on Monday afternoon, so that will be helpful. I have been disinfecting the house daily, and Mason should be done with this cold by then.

The visit with my mother-in-law went well. The mice didn't show up while she was here....thank goodness!!! That would have been mortifying!!!! You know Cathy, I would love for you to stay here next week, but I can't promise a germ free or rodent free home at this point.

The baby is doing well. Very active and still feels enormous. I figure afterNov 9th, the baby can come anytime and then we can finally refer to him by name!! I can't wait to finally hold him and see him and snuggle him. And watch Mason with him. Well, not much else happening around here. Just getting ready for Halloween and Mason's party (which is in 2 weeks...yikes!) and trying to get Christmas and birthday shopping done before the baby comes. Kind of a crazy time of year!!!

Mason needs a huge lizard painted on his wall......that would be cool. Find an image on the internet and draw it on the wall. Yeah. Easier said than done. Drawing isn't my thing. I'm more of a 'copier'......

I just hate to say it but...."I told you so." Those little critters die in the worst places. Good luck on the clean-up.
Why not let Mason do some rubber stamping on the wall in one small area. Use those big foam sponges in different shapes using almost the same color paint as the wall. They won't show up as much if he really goofs up but he'll know they're there. You can even get squigles. So, there's my 2cents.
I hope everyone is feeling better. It's no fun being sick.
Only 37 days. Think you'll make it??

I hope I make it to 23 days. That would be 2 weeks early and I would not mind that at all. This has been one looong pregnancy. I'm actually looking forward to spending a couple nights in the hospital.

I'll let you know how the clean-up turns out.

i like the idea of Mason stamping. He has a little "cubby" next to his bed he likes to sit in and play in, so he could do that.

Cathy, I also liked your idea, but I cannot draw. It would look like a scary monster and give Mason nightmares. Maybe Dominic can paint him a lizard this summer somewhere in his room.

Mason has been pulling out the worst toys the past few days...ones with tons of little pieces and dumping them all out. He does well with the clean-up, but I would love to have some floors I could walk on without having to push stuff out of the way with my feet :) Our home is in such chaos now, and we are eating at wierd times...guess we are getting ready for when the baby comes.
