31 Week Check up

I love these "in and out" appointments. Baby Nik is still measuring a few weeks ahead and all is going splendidly!

Happy Easter!

Busy day here! Dylan woke totally excited... proclaiming it was Easter bucket in hand ready for the hunt! His new bike was a huge hit!

DH and I finished up the painting. 3rd coat of red, 2nd for yellow and 2nd for green. Hopefully only a few minor touch ups remain!

It was rainy here but we got to take d out on his new ride for a short while. He really did awesome! Took a while to get him using the foot break... nothing a bit of red light / green light couldn't fix!!!

Overall it was long but enjoyable day! Dh and I were talking and arrived at the conclusion that we deserve some sort of medal for the weekend we have had. 2 rooms painted, eggs painted, jello eggs made, cookies and cake baked, Easter bunny duties performed, and a trip to the movies too!

Monsters Vs Aliens

We took a well deserved break from painting and headed to the theater to check out "Monster vs Aliens" in 3D. Was a fun movie! This was Dylan's second movie (since the baby reel days) and he loved all the monsters! BOB being his favorite! He had to be reminded a few times to whisper and wasn't keen on wearing the 3d glasses the entire time... otherwise he did pretty good! For the adults ... a lot of our favorite acters did the voices and lots of stuff that goes well over the heads of kiddos!

http://www.kidsinmind.com has a great movie reviews for parents... including one for Monsters vs. Aliens. It is rated pg... but this is because of the sci fi factor. It really is a good family movie.

Painting Update

Second coat is on the nursery... woot! Feels good to have paint on the walls!

Had to get more paint for the playroom. It now has a first coat of yellow, and a second coat of blue and red. The blue and yellow were easy to paint... but the red and green are a bitch!

Painting Day 1

Well we've been at it all day! First coat is on the nursery and all the trim and doors are painted! The playroom has a first coat of the (as Dylan calls it) "Elmo Red", "Cookie Monster Blue" and the "Oscar Green". Doug had to patch part of the wall which is be painted "Big Bird Yellow". We are definitely gonna need some more paint for the playroom tomorrow! The new drywall is eating up the paint for these bright colors!

Paint and Paper Dragons

Well we finally picked out some paint for the nursery. Neither dh nor I are sold on the color. But it's mainly because it is a nutral color and we are accustom to painting very bright kids rooms. I think it would have been a lot easier if the animals for the wall had arrived :(

We also picked up our Quinny Buzz today :D Then went for a little drive to peek at the few small icebergs around. Dylan wanted to eat at a "chinese paper dragon restaurant" for supper so we went to the "Birds Nest" dh's first trip... the 2nd for d and I. Again it was a hit all the way around! Definitely my new favorite Chinese buffet in St. John's!

Move over octomom!!!

Saturday I came home to find the baby Kribs (Kribensis Cichlids) had finally arrived!!! It's amazing to watch how protective the parents are and how the babies follow them around. We have no idea how many there are.... but there are a lot! We've been trying to get their picture since Saturday but it's a near impossible feat! So I took a couple short video's. They don't start free swimming until 5-10 days of age. So I figure they are about 1.5 - 2 weeks old now.
