The weather be confused, and so be this post
Our Easter weekend was really low-key, probably because we sort of didn’t do anything easter-y. It didn’t even occur to me to hide easter eggs for Callum until Michelle mentioned it. Next year I’ll be less of an Easter scrooge.
We did get a few little odds and ends done around the house. well, I should re-phrase, Steve got some odds and ends done while I did very little. We moved the trailer close to the house and hooked it up to water and electricity for my Mom (its our new spare room since our house is small and with the looming presence of TWO children, we’re out of rooms) and then cleaned the entire thing top to bottom. Steve vacummed every nook and cranny while I bleached every surface and cupboard. Its all shiney and new for our upcoming guests who would rather a bed than being forced to sleep on the couch. Its super posh in there now because we took the mattress from the bed in the spare room and put it in the trailer in place of the regular trailer mattress. Unfortunately we don’t have it set up to have hot water direct, but its literally parked outside the back door so if said guests don’t want to wait for the water to be heated by proprane, they can walk the 5 steps into the house and shower in the guest bathroom.
Steve also hung up my gallery down the hall, and made cookies. 100+ cookies because you just never know when one might need A LOT of cookies. I’ve probably eaten 1/4 of those cookies today alone because hello? FRESH BAKED COOKIES. They had to go into the trailer freezer because I’ve made and froze so many meals we literally can’t get another thing into any freezer in the house.
Plus I painted the foam-board train that is going to decorate Callum’s new room. I’m really not very pleased with it, though. I am still going to hang it up and see how it looks so if I don’t tear it down in a fit of unsatisfied rage, I’ll post a picture.
Speaking of pictures, we managed to get to the studio and have maternity shots done before Claire’s arrival. I’m actually impressed we got around to it, but am so glad we did. I hope they turn out and again, if I’m impressed, I’ll post one or two so you can see me and my belly.
And tomorrow is the day – I get a haircut. heh.

Ooh I look forward to seeing your belly pics! Our midwife is a professional photographer as well so we are having a Before/After shoot with her – I’m really looking forward to it. Who did your photos?
I use Nicole Williams, she lives down the street from us. I considered using Lillian, but she’s so far from us. Nicole has a maternity package so we do the belly – newborn – 1 year photo shoots. Its nice that she’s so close!
With Callum I did the shoot the day I was due and I was SO swollen. I looked awful! Hopefully this set will turn out better!
