Weekend

Saturday was Chris' mom's birthday so we headed out to Leesburg to hang out with her and Bob. On our way, we stopped at BRU to get our mattress since we were hoping to put together the crib sometime soon. Two of Debbie's sisters and her brother-in-law drove in from Delaware to spend the day, which was so nice. It's a shame they couldn't spend the night, though. It's a lot of driving for one day. We had dinner at our new favorite place, Clyde's in Ashburn. Soooo good! And then Chris' Aunt Anne made her famous German Chocolate Cake so we had that for dessert. For those of you who were at our wedding, you may remember that Chris' groom's cake was Anne's German Chocolate. She's one talented baker!
Today was our day to finish painting the Turkey's room. We had done two walls a few weekends ago, but needed to do the two large walls (we were doing two different shades of green and needed the first walls to dry so we could tape them). A few action shots:


After the painting was done, it was crib time! I've heard so many horror stories about how annoying and difficult it is to put a crib together, but we had no trouble at all. It was super easy. As soon as Chris started opening the package, I got all teary-eyed about it. Stupid hormones...

A pic of the finished product (and you can sort of see the two tones of the walls):

Our changing table/dresser should be in next week, and it's almost guaranteed that'll be way more difficult to put together. I can't wait to get that done and start moving stuff into that room!
