Ok – not exactly nesting – more like pre-nesting. :)
This is Chris – the Guest Blogger. I’ve been enjoying some quality time here with Kate and Pat and the kitties. Kate and I hit the shops on Saturday. We oohed and ahhed over lots of baby stuff – from outfits to cribs. Kate and Pat are now registered at Babies-r-Us and Target. Kate had already picked out a crib and had an idea about the bedding (which she showed me and I totally love). We registered for strollers (yes Kim – I talked her into the same one you got) and car seats and all kinds of baby equipment – no clothes though – Ted has a slightly older super stylish older cousin named Jack. :) Saturday night she took me to Five Guys – a greasy but delicious burger joint – which I had heard much about.
Sunday was “the meal”. We were going to make a pre-Thanksgiving turkey. But I forgot about the whole turkey being frozen thing – so we had to settle for chickens – still tasty. Kate and I prepared the chickens and got them into the oven. Then the three of us headed for a walk around the neighborhood. Again – so many more houses! I would say at least 20 since I was here in May! When we got back Kate and I fussed around the kitchen some more getting the “fixins” ready. We had chicken, mashed potatoes, butternut squash, stuffing, green beans, cranberry sauce and for dessert – apple crisp.
Monday – Pat had to work. :( But Kate and I were able to continue with both our cooking and shopping adventures. We made chicken pot pie and Kate got some new clothes to accommodate a little extra room for Ted. My work plans changed this week – so I am staying an extra day. I’ll have a low key morning with the cats – but Kate should be home in the early afternoon and I don’t leave until late tomorrow night. So far so good and with a bonus day…
Nice to see the guest blogger back to work. Wish I could be there with you guys to get ready for Ted. Jack says so too at the top of his lungs right now!!! Now I will have to type one handed.
Jack has already grown too tall for some of his clothes so I’m putting together a care package to send south. Along with my summer maternity stuff. I hope you can use some of it.
Love,
Kim
Yeah! for another day with Kate and Pat!
Good job getting the baby items picked out.
So, who took the photo? Moses? You all look so healthy and happy! I was calling Christine the ghost blogger, not the guest blogger! Stuck on Halloween? Happy to see the registry has been set up, nice that we can spoil you with things you really want! Hug each other from us
xxoo
The photo is courtesy of a well-positioned piece of furniture and a camera-timer. I had to sort of guess the framing of the shot, which is why I’m leaning in to the middle in a weird way.
It was a tasty meal, and nice to see Chris!
