August 19th

We had a pretty good weekend. Eddie wasn't feeling great, but we did a few things anyway.

Friday we went over to Eddie's sisters house. Eddie was helping his brother in law build a crib. Well, they had a twin bed, and needed to build sides for it to use as a crib. Not my personal idea of safe, but hey, it's not my kid.

Saturday there was more work to be done on the crib, and I volunteered to paint their incoming baby's room. It came out pretty good. Not sure if it'll need another coat. It's a pretty lavender color. His sister is due in September, but she's probably going to go early, like any time. Her baby shower is this coming Saturday. We haven't bought her anything yet, but we're going to. I have a few things in mind and it won't break the bank. I was going to make something, but I ran out of time because I didn't have any good ideas.

Sunday we stayed home. Eddie was feeling worse, so he slept in and I started to clean up the house. I did all the laundry (yeah!) and cleaned the kitchen. I tidied the rest of the house too. After dinner we had our first family movie night. Eddie recorded "The Guardians" on HBO. We popped some popcorn (which Vallerie was very excited about.) and then moved the couch really close to the tv. Vallerie did pretty good and sat between us most of the time. We had all the popcorn in a big bowl and Vallerie thought it would be fun to eat it without using her hands, so I tried to eat from the opposite side of the bowl. Then she sneezed on it all. I did not eat any after that. She got antsy towards the end, but it was also an hour past her bedtime.

All in all, I'd say Family Movie Night was a success!
