Half-Baked


A half-baked idea is okay
as long as it's in the oven.

I've got the first half of this pregnancy under my belt now... {literally}. I guess you could say the baby is half-baked. Here's the baby bump so far... I know, I'm kind of a late bloomer.

What else is half-baked? Well, earlier this week Tukes asked me, "How wong are we gonna keep dat baby?" Hmmm, I'd say his new sibling acceptance level is only half-baked. He'll get there.

And the bathrooms, they are certainly half-baked. The master bathroom debacle has escalated into a double bathroom debacle. Between the two rooms we have a single working toilet in one while the other bathroom is home to the only working shower and sink. A corner of my bedroom has become a landing point for such things as a 1980's vanity mirror, clothes hamper, and assorted plant stands while the rest of the house is littered with tiny shreds of dated wallpaper. All in the name of progress my friends.

I suppose we must all be half-baked before we're fully baked but as long as everything is in the oven half-baked is okay.

Oh, that's a fabulous pic, MG! We rehabed our first old house when our first was half-baked.

I admire your and your husband's tenacity with these projects. I'm afraid my half-baked efforts at renovations would remain half-baked!

Your little tummy is SO cute!

After a few weeks of three new baby brothers, Taylor (2 years old) said, "Get dees babies outta here!" :)

Sweet little baby bump! Thanksgiving day marks my halfway point. Exciting.

Sweet Tukes will surely fall in love once he sees his new sibling. :)

and the bathrooms, oh the bathrooms! hang in there! Are you making fun plans for what they will be once the scraps of wallpaper are gone? Keep looking forward my friend. :) Kelly

Betsy -- A few weeks after Tukes was born Boo asked, "Can we put him on da bus?"

I love their simple honesty.

If it makes you feel any better, when we told the girls about H, L said she didn't want a baby brother or sister. She liked it just like it was. She's always been my live wire!
