Back at It

Well, we managed to get out of dodge and landed at The Abbey Resort on Sunday night. The resort was very nice and Jake and I were able to truly RELAX. We didn't do much of anything... mainly, we slept and just took it easy. Went for a swim in the pool, played some water HORSE and PIG, went out to dinner a couple of times, into Lake Geneva to cruise some of the shops, went to a movie (Bourne Ultimatum... highly recommend it), and slept. :) Definitely needed by both of us. I'm so glad we did it!

Back at home now... and Jake's already managed to cross a few more things off his "list". After drooling over a couple of ads in his hunting mags on our vacation, he managed to find ONE place in our area that sold the "Hot Dot" bow sight. That's all I'm going to say about that. I'll let him type the in the blog about it's wonderful features. To me, it looks like a black circle w/three red dots in the middle. Now, he and his dad are at Menard's, picking up the ceiling tiles. Ceiling will be put in the basement tomorrow.

The crib is finally up and the nursery is complete (we were waiting for two brackets to be shipped to us that weren't included w/the crib when we brought it home... sore subject w/Jake, so avoid that one) except for the wall and window hangings. Now that everything is in, The bare walls and window are staring at me begging for more decor. Hopefully, I'll be able to round something up this weekend.

Somehow, the boppy swing we have for the baby managed to really trip us up on where the batteries were to be placed. We misplaced the directions, so Jake and Tony spent a good amount of time studying the swing and disassembling it. How many masters degrees does it take to put batteries in a baby swing? Apparently two. ;) Thanks guys.
