weekend updates

Justin was away salmon fishing this weekend, so my parents came up to keep me company and get a few projects scratched off the to do list.

Up first was the mothers of multiples twice as nice sale- since I am a MOM-to-be, I was allowed to shop the night before it was open to the general public. Here are a few of my finds:

 I think I did really well at the sale. I was allowed to bring a guest, so my mom came with me. It was great because we were able to divide and conquer. The sale was held at a church, so there were lots of rooms to check out. We still don't know the genders of the babies, so I just bought some boy stuff and some girl stuff... if I end up not needing all of the clothes, I'm sure I will have someone to pass them on to.

Speaking of clothes... my cousin Angie gave me a bunch of baby hangers- I can't wait to start filling them up.

I think Justin and I will wait until Black Friday to do any clothes shopping- Baby Gap usually has 40-50% off everything that day, so it will be the perfect time to stock up. There are also usually good deals on the Carter's sleep and plays- I think the twins will primarily wear the footed sleepers in the beginning and my rummage sale experience has taught me that Carter's is the brand to go with- they are so much softer than some of the other brands and seem to hold up really well.

I think I've mentioned on the blog before that our families like to spoil us... but here is more evidence. My cousin Amanda picked up this adorable sailor dress:

Amanda will definitely have to use this dress in a photo shoot! I think my mom saved a sailor outfit that my brother had, so if we do have a boy and a girl, they can both have cute sailor outfits :)

My aunt Nancy and cousins Angie and Haylee got me these awesome LUSH bath products:

I have been wanting to try the LUSH products for a while now, and they are amazing! So far the soap is my favorite- my skin felt so soft after using it. I thought the card was adorable too- hopefully Amanda can take a similar picture with the twins when they are older (I'm pretty sure I've already told her this, but Amanda has been hired as the family photographer).

My mom went to a quilt show on Friday and picked up fabric for another baby quilt:

She will be making a few quilts to keep at her house, but I told her that this one definitely has to live with me! I love that the quilt will have touches of whimsy, but isn't overly baby-ish, so the twins can use it for years to come. It also goes quite nicely with my decor, which is a definite bonus!

In between all of the fun shopping, we my dad had time to cross one of the projects off of the to-do list. He installed a glass storm door. It looks great and lets tons of natural light in- we will definitely get a lot of use out of it. I'm glad my dad is patient, because this was one of those projects that looks a lot easier than it actually is.
