    What a weekend!

    Sunday, November 22nd, 2009

    It was another busy weekend for Team Saip!! Yesterday, we dropped the Pilot off for new brakes, had a dryer repair man come out to look at our dryer because it is turning blue, and had the girl’s new furniture delivered. All of this before noon while we cleaned the whole house and got everything ready for today’s festivities. The furniture looks so nice in the girl’s room. We then went over to Debbie’s house to help her move a few things for her new carpet to be installed (well Matt helped anyway). We stopped at a few more places and then went out to a yummy dinner at Del Torros. The sucky part was that we waited almost an hour for a table. Good thing Kiley was a trooper.

    Today we had family over to celebrate Thanksgiving a little early. It was my second attempt ever at making a turkey (last Thanksgiving was the first), and it turned out well. I made Aunt Eve’s stuffing again this year, and it was so good! Everyone brought stuff, and we ended up with enough food to feed an army as usual. The grandmas brought fun Christmas ornaments for the girls to make for their new pink Christmas tree that Grandma Marsha and Grandpa Mark got for them. It looks adorable in their new room.

    Matt also went to pick up the rest of the bedding that finally came in today. The baby’s bedding looks awesome in his room. I don’t think we even need to paint the room. Woo hoo! I was so happy that we got Ella’s bedding too for their first night sharing a room. Should be intersting in the morning. I am guessing that they will be up as soon as the sun comes up.

    Tomorrow we have our 32 week Dr. appointment. I can’t believe we only have 7 more weeks from this friday til our son is born Crazy! Only a day and a half (2 and a half for Matt) of work this week,  and then we are off to St. Louis for a few days to celebrate Thanksgiving with the Saips! It is always a great time when we go there!

    Never a dull moment around here! I might need to be carried up the stairs tonight considering how tired I am at this point…but it was worth it! We had another great weekend! Now it’s time to relax and watch this Bears game…let’s hope they can redeem themselves and pull out a win!

    Monday Morning Commute

    Monday, November 16th, 2009

    Hope everyone had a great weekend! I spent Friday night working late. Thanks again guys for sticking it out an getting everything up to speed (you know who you are)!

    Saturday, I spent the day up in Madison with Fletch. The Badgers worked Michigan. It was a great game to be at. Beth and the girls did some shopping and cleaned out Ella’s room to prepare for the furniture move on Sunday. I was home by 7pm from Madison and we finished getting the house ready.

    On Sunday, we moved out Ella’s furniture with the help of Eric and Donnie! Afterwards, we went to Buffalo Wild Wings for lunch. Love that place! We watched football, Grandma Debbie stopped by, went grocery shopping and called it a night.

    The Colts played a great game to beat the Patriots. Hopefully, the Bears will bounce back and be able to compete with the Eagles next weekend.

    This week is going to be a quick week hopefully! We will be picking up the bedding we ordered, ordering a twin matress and having the furniture delivered on Saturday. We will be having family over on Sunday so I’m sure we will be prepping for that as well. A little pre-thanksgiving celebration if you will :)

    Start of many…

    Thursday, November 5th, 2009

    This is the start of many purchases over the next 10 weeks. We bought Baby Saip’s bedding as well as bedding for the girls. Here are a few links to the sets. We saved a ton by getting items that were on sale and with a coupon.

    A side note, I took the train again today and loved it. It’s nice having the time to relax before heading into work. I love not having to deal with traffic and it should only get easier when it snows or rains. I won’t have to put up with 90 a whole lot :)

    Check back soon for more updates!

    Happy Halloween!

    Sunday, November 1st, 2009

    We hope everyone had a great Halloween! The girls had a blast this year dressing up and trick or treating! It was fun because they were both really into it this year. Ella was a candy corn witch and Kiley was “naughty and nice” in other words half angel/half devil.  We spent the day at Aunt Lori and Uncle Joe’s house with family (Grandma Marsha and Grandpa Mark, Grandma Debbie, Uncle John, Aunt Jill, Jake, Aunt Lori, Uncle Joe, Aunt Bonnie, and Uncle Dwayne). It was tons of fun! The neighborhood was hopping, and trick or treating was a blast! Ella had to have a conversation with just about everyone who’s house she went up to. It was hilarious. Kiley pooped out a little earlier than Ella, but she was having a great time running up to houses….Ella could have gone all night probably. We had a lot of great food, and too much candy!

    Today, we are watching the Bears game at home, and then heading out to Caleb’s birthday party. Another busy weekend! Which is pretty much the norm for Team Saip!

    Coming up… next weekend we have a visit with Scott and Ann to finally meet Julia, and going to the Bears game on Sunday. Then its off to Wisconsin to see Flecth and Ashley the following weekend. I believe we do not actually have anything definitely planned the weekend after that. Then we head off to ST. Louis for Thanksgiving. Should be another busy month! Time is flying and baby Saip will be here before we know it!

    Who needs toys when you have a box?!

    Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

    Before the girls went to bed tonight we decided to have a Team Saip Dance Party! What started out as general merriment ended up with all of us getting in a box that the girls Halloween costumes came in!
