Fruit Ninja! and other fun things

 I'm just so excited to have Allen back from Chicago that it made everything all weekend that much better; it didn't hurt that we had a three day weekend either. I wish I could have gotten some pictures of us playing in the pool. We had so much fun with our beach ball and pool noodle, making up all sorts of games and getting strange looks from fellow pool-goers who probably wondered if we were really mature enough to be parents soon. It was a blast on Saturday so we had to do it again on Monday!

Fruit Ninja is my favorite game on my i-Touch and so when Allen was cutting our perfectly-ripe cantaloupe, we decided to play the real-life version of Fruit Ninja. It was really fun!

I'm such a fruit ninja that I slice with extraordinary speed, you can't even see the knife!

Yeah, this one's posed.

Notice the two halves of the piece of cantaloupe still in the air over the cutting board. Excellent slice! +10 points

Here are some pictures of projects completed while Allen was in Chicago:

I sewed the edges of a plastic shower curtain to make it double-layered protection to go under my sheet savers and put yarn on the corners to attach it to the crib. 

 This mobile could be much better if there were more planning involved and less "I'll just do this and see if it works." I couldn't figure out how I wanted to do it and so I made it up as I went along. The ingredients: fishing line, wooden dowels, a CD, 2 pieces of cardboard, super glue, old T-shirts, yarn, scrap of Dr. Seuss material, needle and thread. No wonder it looks homemade!

We still haven't hung the mobile, so this is the best picture I could get of it by myself.

 Now entering Caleb's room! Because we still have boxes that have no home in our apartment, they are in the corner of his room cleverly hidden under towels with boxes of stuff on top of them. Thank you to Brynn for the flags that are running along the top of the room! They add a lot to his room!

The changing table was a great buy off of craigslist (it even matches our crib in color and style!), which we had to disassemble in the Wal-Mart parking lot (in 107 degrees) to fit it into the trunk of my car... that's a funny story! And the lady we bought it from also threw in the diaper pail and lots of baby accessories for free with the changing table!

Unfortunately I can't paint the walls of our apartment, so I thought the sticker applique things would be a great idea . . . but they keep falling off the wall, which is why Thing 1 and Thing 2 are on the diaper pail.

And the other side of the room. I'm really excited to use that baby bathtub soon!

And here are delicious cinnamon rolls that I made for our cub scout pack meeting last night. Thanks for the recipe Aunt Sheryl!

I had to take a picture because even though the food I've been making has tasted good, it rarely looks this good!

Covered in frosting!
