Spoke too soon..

I ended up not getting any of the car seat/carries that I thought we would! My bad! I went to the awesome 9 Months Later today, and they had an awesome car seat (Graco Safe Seat) that I fell in love with for less than 1/2 of the price it is new, so I totally bought it.

Best part, it absolutely matches the stroller frame perfectly, so it looks like they were made for each other. (color wise- because they were 'made' for each other).

Here's a photo of the cuteness together.

and then the carrier by itself.

Now, it's not a super trendy pattern but rather a very sleek black with grey and blue accents! I love how slick it looks when all together. Very snappy!

So there ya go!

By the way, I forgot to mention that today was the most amazing January 29th ever. 76 and breezy. I had to buy a new top whilst we were walking around because I was dying in my sweater and scarf. Lunch and shopping all day at the Promenade was snazzilicious.

Kthxbaitheend.

Love my job.

Just a quick update.

Kindergarten program is going! We've learned three songs, and might be able to put one more on the stage next week if we work hard! (and if we don't get snow/ice on Tuesday causing us to miss school). If we miss school next week... well let's just not talk about that possibility, because I don't want to stress this weekend, mmkay?

School is going great! I work with some amazing and talented kids, and I only hope I can showcase their excellence and hard work appropriately! They rock. The end.  

If you keep up with Facebook at all, you probably get to see some of the random and funny things I get to hear every day. 

Scenario 1:

At the end of drumline yesterday, Jackson (5th grade boy) walks up holding the bucket of percussion mallets and says:

"Mrs. Cavalier, Ryan Mallet called and he's having a family reunion.. he needs his Mallets back!"

So random, and so silly, but I still get a good laugh.

Scenario 2:

While giving apple scented stamps at the end of class, a kindergarten boy responds to his stamp's scent by saying...

"Mmmm smells like chicken!"

Doesn't get much better than that folks.

Two weeks in a row?

Clean house/laundry/bills paid and plans done two weeks in a row? I'll take it.

Seems kind of trivial seeing as for the last however many years, this has been normal, but since the whole sickness/morning sickness thing, this is a big deal.

I'm pretty worried about my K program, seeing as for the last three weeks, we have not had a regular school week and none of the K classes know their songs yet... I'll keep you posted on that one. :)

In other news, I finally took a Baby C + Kalyn picture! Now, I don't LOOK super pregnant to me, (just a little rounder in the mid section) but I definitely had to buy new pants this weekend. I had been able to get by in my normal jeans until Saturday, until it was just impossible to zip anymore.

If you Facebook, then you've seen this photo... so my apologies!

So that's all folks!

I finally (for the first time since October) have a clean house (and laundry/fridge/closets) sans holiday decorations. I clean best when a little angry. :P

So THIS is what it feels like to be human again.

Now, if only Chase hadn't decided to shrimp boil new potatoes in my nice, clean, fresh smelling house...........

Oh well.

Another poll for you!

A decision has been reached! Car seat/carrier #1 is the winner! I am on the list if one of these bad boys comes through the consignment store Nine Months Later.

Just in case you forgot, it looks like this:

Brunswick

Besides the fact that it's uber cute (honestly, cuteness factor wasn't considered until after the following), I chose this model because it is #1 uber safe and Graco has fewer recalls than most, #2 very convenient, (See the Graco SnugRide Stroller AND swing frames!) and #3 will be suitable until our kiddo is 35 lbs (as long as he isn't super long). So reasonably, it will last for the whole first year.

Don't feel abused blog readers, but I need your opinion once more. One of our familie's oldest (and I don't mean age) friends has offered to make the crib bedding/curtains/stuff (Yes I know, awesome). This being said, I just have to pick out my fabrics and a pattern.

Honestly, after seeing the prices of bedding/accessories, I was going to go sale rack/generic. Her offer is uber generous and greatly appreciated!!

Here are four fabrics combos/styles that I've come up with that I really like. Problem is, they're all different  (completely).

I designed all of these with fabrics from http://www.babybedding.com/ and their Nursery Designer. I love the simple and clean pattern- so that's going to stick, but the colors/fabrics are all up for negotiation! She has access to tons of fabric, so she might be able to match some of these fabrics, or find them elsewhere, too! We'll see. :)

Now #3 and #4 are practically the same minus the cute owls on #3. Hey, I like owls. :)

If you want to be super creative/helpful, go to http://www.babybedding.com/and design one for me and leave the link in the comment section! That would be fun!
