Baby's room remodel re-revisited

Well, the room is almost done. You'll notice the curtains [although I'm not sure that's what they're actually called], shelves in the closet [surprisingly installed by me], dresser, book shelf, and other actual decorations. The quilt hanging on the wall was made by Kaye's sister-in-law, Kerry. Also, the baby's name [TBA] will also be spelled out above the crib in wooden letters.

...and don't let your newborn use a fork.

The final in our series of baby classes was "Basics of Baby Care". It was nice to find out that I'm not the only one who has this bizarre sense of humor. Apparently the gentleman behind me also wondered why the bulb on the rectal thermometer was bigger than it's oral counterpart. That didn't seem right to us. Although, neither of us was brave enough to raise our hands and ask why.

On Wednesday we'll be making one last trip to my mom's house for Thanksgiving. Kaye is thoroughly looking forward to the 2 1/2 hour ride in the car. We did, unfortunately, have to eliminate the extra drive to have Thanksgiving dinner with my dad's family on Thursday. I thought that might be pushing it a bit.

The baby's room is coming along nicely [more video later]. I even stained the door on Sunday night. Of course, I spilled some stain. Luckily, it was in a rather inconspicuous place...and my shirt. This weekend we'll continue furnishing and decorating, hopefully. We bought some rather "girly" decorations for the room this weekend at a craft fair. I threatened to hunt the owners of the booth down if she isn't a girl. Oh, and yea, I went to a craft fair and it makes me no less a man.

Still a work in progress...

Like I mentioned in the last video, it's nice to have family who have carpentry skills. Ok, it's nice to know anyone with skills since I have none. Regardless, you can see that we've actually made some progress. There's a little more painting and stenciling to be done, but we're nearly ready to go.

A long time ago Kaye was told not to let me touch a paint brush. She didn't listen. Somehow, I managed to do a whole lot of painting with minimal mess. Life was so much better when I could claim incompetence.

Actually, I wanted to put this up so I could prove that I do contribute. If you look at the top one and switch to the bottom one real quick, you can actually see progress. In the words of Ron Burgundy, "Don't act like you're not impressed!"

A Work in Progress. Part Deux

The room is progressing nicely. I snapped a few pictures of Kaye doing some of the painting. Against my mother's advice, Kaye allowed me to actually handle a paint brush. Although the pics don't show it, trust me I did some painting. Not much, but some.

A Work in Progress

I have absolutely no carpentry skills. Luckily Kaye's brother, Mark, does. There's still work to be done, but it's coming together.

Update: There were problems with the video [my fault]. I've fixed them.
