kendal's ride to school plus new room photos

nathaniel, as usual (because it is requested), called me this morning to tell me how the morning commute to kendal's daycare went today. of coarse, everything went well. he told me, though, that kendal got really quiet in the back seat. he had his blanket on his lap, and seemed to be doing fine... since he had a grin on his face. that grin is what we call his "shit eating grin" because he is usually up to no good when he's wearing it. this morning was no different. apparently, he had a great time taking both his shoes AND socks off *under the blanket* so when they got to school and nathaniel went to take him out of the car, he was barefooted... and had to search for all the goods! (in the searching, though, he did find a sock that was missing...) let me just tell you that one of kendal's favorite thing in the WORLD to do is take his socks off. shoes... eh. you just have to remove them to get to the socks. sometimes i put his socks on him like 10 times because he's pulling them off before i can get the other one back on... and we get in this cyclic game of sock on and sock off. ok, so today i've started painting the trim in the new room (baby #2 nursery). i picked a light pink to match the pink in her bed set, and i bought the paint yesterday. I HOPE TO GOD THIS BABY IS A GIRL!!! there is NO way of making this pink look at all masculine. it is so much brighter/darker than it seemed like it'd be with the little card. wow. and to think, i have another dark pink, a green, a brown, and a ivory to paint decor on the walls too. i can't wait to post finished pics! but until then... here are a few shots of the new color!

(paint is still wet in the last one)
