Lots and Lots of Projects

So we haven't decided on a name yet, but I've decided that I want to do a garden theme for the new nursery - flowers, butterflies, dragonflies, ladybugs, etc. I found some large paper flowers that I loved at WeeCycle, but they were a little pricey. So I'm hoping to make it down to Hobby Lobby in Ocala sometime soon, in hopes that they have something similar (and cheaper). I did however find this butterfly at the Bell's outlet in High Springs today. It was actually in the outdoor gardening section, but I think it will fit right in with what I'm thinking.

Here's Warren's new play yard. We had planned on getting him one in about a year, but Greg and Michelle passed their's along to us - thanks guys! It does need a little work though. We have a slide and new tarp but need to get other accessories. Also, needs to be painted, have some wood replaced, bolts tighten, etc. But we have a year timeline, so I think we should be ok:)

I had John bring this old dresser home from Ocean Pond. I had seen it last time we were out there and thought it would go great in the new nursery. I had planned on sanding it, painting it black and putting ladybug knobs on the drawers. Unfortunately, once we got it home and emptied out the drawers (I won't go into detail about all the disgusting things that were in there - thank you mom for taking care of that for me!), we found that the drawers won't open very easily. This is a big problem, since I will need to get in there alot -especially at two o'clock in the morning looking for a clean diaper:) So this project has been cancelled for now.

Lastly, John bought this truck from Greg for Warren - so we're looking at about a 15 year timeline for this project and I believe it will take that long:) John knows all the details, but here are all the girl details - it's a 1980 something, baby blue exterior and interior, does have air conditioning, power locks and power windows (but none are currently working), and it does run (most of the time). I'm sure John and Warren will have a blast restoring this!
