Helping with the Nursery

Kate, Louisa and I headed up Rte. 89 early this morning, fortified with Dunkin' tea and glazed treats to help the Nowlans progress a little further in preparations for the arrival of the baby boy in a month or so. Upon arrival, we were treated to a fast paced  modern dance of welcome by Monet, followed by lots of cooking in the little kids' kitchen. I painted a bookcase with the remnants of a can of cream colored flat paint, while Kate tackled cleaning the floor and walls in the nursery after they were stripped of lots of wallpaper by Heather and Doobie last weekend. Once I finished the bookcase and cleaned up, I helped Kate for a bit in the nursery before heading back home. We timed it perfectly to allow Louisa and Kate and I a peaceful ride back (Louisa napped). It was a good feeling to help. We also delivered some baby boy clothes and a toddler bed and mattress for Monet.

It was a fun day...thank you for all your help. And I really was having fun with Louisa in the sandbox, even though my face is a little misleading!
