Is it just me....or is this winter dragggggginggggg? Worst spring fever, ever! I am dying to get outside with Henry and do some new things with him....also a little tan wouldn't hurt! I keep daydreaming about starting our mornings out on the deck, going for a walk before workdays, going out on my dad's lake, spending long days at the pool.... it is already February...so just a few more months! Speaking of fever....this little Schultz family is having a little baby fever! ;). We have felt ready for quite some time now to add on to our party of 3, but timing wise with Kyle's work schedule hasn't been right just yet! The thought of giving Henry a brother or sister makes us SO excited ( & maybe a little nervous, mainly about the chaos, not about Henry not loving it because everyone who knows Henry knows he would love another little tyke in the house...but that is to be expected, right?!). It just makes me giddy...the thought about him being a big brother someday. I see all those pictures on pinterest of the cute mom and dad with their little pack of cubs all close in age posing all cute as a family and I can't help but pin them. Ok, ok.... I am getting a little ahead of myself here and this is NOT a preggo announcement in any way. But can you tell the subject makes me excited??? (We are pretty open about our future plans with friends and family so I am sure most of you already know our plans, this blog just helps me to express my excitement even more) :) I have seen some horrible comments on facebook and other places of moms judging others about their decision to have more babies or when to have more babies... it is SUCH a personal decision and I just wish all mom's would realize just because something doesn't work or isn't right for their family, doesn't mean that's what everyone else should do. That goes for all aspects of being a mom...not just when to add another kiddo. I knew feeling judged would come along with motherhood, but the competition among mom's is insane to me and I will never understand it. That is just my little rant for the day. Back to fevers...poor Kyle has been getting consistently more and more sick all day long. Henry has thankfully had a sick-free winter thus far, since our lake trip with Annie, Ryan and Ally back in October, as well as myself! Hopefully we can steer clear of this one, because his cough is pretty bad. :(
This weekend was another great one! Saturday was Kyle's youngest brother, Drew's 21st birthday!!!We met the family at Dave and Busters (he picked it so Henry would be able to go.....insert awwww here!:)) I have never been there before, but I loved it! We all had so much fun playing the games and of course Henry loved it too. He was almost in a trance it seemed from all of the loud music and lights and video games. Definitely hesitant at first, and by the end was running around, watching all the big kids and made a little baby friend. I didn't get any pictures because we were so busy playing games and chasing Henry.
Today was spent in....PAJAMAS!! :). During Henry's 3 hour nap, I followed a tutorial on
http://www.shanty-2-chic.com/ for a wood wall art tutorial. I was originally going to do the LOVE one that they have posted there...however I had a change of craft in mind and did one for Henry's room. I wanted to keep it neutral and not too kidish so he can keep it with him as he grows older. He can totally rock this in his dorm room one day!:) I would!
This picture does it Zero justice. It turned out beautiful. I followed the tutorial on the website exactly, minus the wording. I also didn't line the wood planks up evenly, as I liked it more rustic and homemade looking. I used just plain old sand paper as well over the white letters to wear it down (which you can't see in the picture). I plan on making a few more...one for our room and a gift for my niece Ally for her 2nd birthday coming up.
This week is just a boring old work week, but I have some new recipes I am going to try and I will be sure to post them if they are worth it! :)
