The Sea Monkey project is progressing nicely. We've pretty much got the nursery done with the exception of hanging a couple of shelves. I need to clean a few last items out of the closet but other than that I am ready for baby showers to start filling in the gaps for the things we still need.
I'm blessed to be having more than one baby shower, but I guess that is fitting since we are having more than one baby, right? For those that have asked, I am registered at Babies R Us and Target. And yes, I do realize I registered for four car seats. The plan is for me to drop the kids off in the morning and Phill to pick them up so we each need to have a set of two seats each. I did put thought into that and didn't count incorrectly, despite my Brighton High School math education!
On July 1st we found out that the Sea Monkeys were both little girl monkeys! We had a great time telling the parents. The night before I had help baking four cakes, two blue and two pink. (Thank you Lena and Marilyn!!) I frosted them white on the outside with green and yellow frosting and had them marked which were which. When both sets of parents arrived for dinner that night each set got their own little cake to cut into to reveal the flavor of one of the babies. Phill tortured them for a good 20 minutes before finally giving in and letting them cut the cakes before dinner. Karen and Jim cut theirs first and the amount of screaming in that kitchen when they reveled their pink cake was amazing!! My mom FINALLY cut in to her cake and after convincing herself that she had a blue cake saw a pink one instead for hers. The screaming continued. It was a really fun way to tell them and something I'm sure none of them will ever forget either! It'll be a good story to tell the twins when they get older.
Below are a few updated pictures of the nursery with the green wall and a few more decorations in it. I'll have to take more with the wood pieces that Phill made up on the wall but I'll include that in the final "We're done!!" post!
