good thing

over the past couple weeks i've been super busy. not in a frantic, pulled-in-a-million-directions kind of busy, but just busy with things that i want to get done around the house. (none of which include cleaning yet....that'll come soon i hope!) it's a good thing to be wrapping things up, getting things done and finishing projects. here's a sampling of the stuff i've accomplished lately:

i made a memory game for the baby. i know, it's a few years premature, but i found these great stickers at HobLob, finally ordered some wood tiles and got them all put together. can't wait to play it with him! :)

baked baked and baked some more. a batch of lemony cream cheese cookies...

snickerdoodles in the oven...

a pan of blonde brownies (quality control got to them!) and a few loaves of banana bread...

9 loaves of banana bread (8 in the freezer) and 6 loaves of pumpkin bread. and, i'm sorry, but i'm being selfish with them. they are all in the freezer, awaiting this winter when we have guests...ready made breakfasts. and i'm not really sorry about not sharing.....i share pretty much everything else i make. i'm allowed to be a little selfish right now!!

....piles and piles of baby clothes....

all washed up and ready to go...smelling all...baby-ish...

and a batch of homemade pesto. we sampled some the other night, it's pretty dang delicious if i may say so myself.

so that's just a peek of what has been going on in our house lately...mostly in the kitchen :) a few more baby projects, including refinishing a great end table i found at a thrift store today (pictures to come!) and some more cooking i want to get done before he arrives.....in 6 weeks. i really love this nesting....i just hope it includes cleaning one of these days :)
