Even the best laid plans...

So maybe the weekend didn't turn out quite as expected!

We did get him super cute Eastern booties and a little zip hoodie. Scott says he'll be wearing it next fall at the Alumni game :)

There was no new piece for our village this year (at least as part of the Christmas package that is usually offered) and what they did have for new items was slim pickings :( We figured it wasn't a huge deal b/c we had a couple that Scott's parents gave us and we also picked up two pieces during the summer at a sale. Even still, it was a tradition that we looked forward to. At least we left G&L without spending $1!! We had an amazing lunch at the Main Street Cafe, although it was a bit depressing to see nearly every beer I love on tap!!

Ordering the furniture was a fiasco, and it looks like we may be back to the drawing board on that one. What seemed to be a great store to go to, looks like a case of mistaken identity! One person said things cost $x, in reality they are now three times as much?! So much for trying to buy local!!

We did get the tree up and nearly decorated, along with the stockings and some other decorations.

Just when I thought the stroke of bad luck for the weekend had run out, the cat managed to knock a glass off the dining room shelf, which in turn hit one of the village houses that we bought in the middle of the year from a store having a going out of business sale. Needless to say, I was devastated :(

Stupid cat. Thankfully we had spent less than $20 on it, and I'm so glad it wasn't one of the more expensive ones. Regardless, I was totally bummed out about it b/c it was really, really cute.

Here's to a better week!!

Ordering furniture tomorrow!

First of all, I can't believe I'm awake at 10:30 pm :)

I'm very excited b/c we are going to order the crib, dresser and changing table tomorrow! It's starting to feel more real every day. I'm also very excited that my parents have offered to buy the crib for us :)

We also plan to make our yearly pilgrimage to G&L Christmas Barn to buy something for our Christmas Village.

AND we plan to make a stop at the ECSU bookstore so that Baby Boy Rossi can represent Eastern and PC equally. His 'fraunties' (friend/auntie) Colleen and Erin have already made sure he will be outfitted in some PC gear.

We also plan to put up the tree and decorations tomorrow. Should be a fun and busy day!

It's been a rough week, looking a little tired!!

Sometimes it's okay to kick people

Melissa has been feeling him kick for a couple of weeks. Today she saw him kicking when looking at her stomach. Scott got to see and feel him kick for the very first time today!
