Operation Baby Room

It seems like every weekend is planned out by the Monday before, this weekend not being any different we set out to get our baby's room ready. Friday morning while at work I noticed that the furniture we wanted was on SALE. I text Travis to tell him and we made a game plan for after work. When Travis got home from work that plan somehow was forgotten and talks about eating dinner and maybe watching a movie while in Asheville began. Friday night is usually our date night. We headed out...once at Target we find out they have only one crib and one dresser left but no changing table. We take the time to get a rain check for the changing table and then it came time to get the other furniture home. This is the first time we both realize that we drove our little car instead of the truck. I can't really explain the thoughts I had going on in my head but what I can tell you is that as fun as our plan seemed; it in fact was absolutely ridiculous..1)"how are we eating dinner and watching a movie with furniture in the back of the truck", 2) why would we get in the car and not the truck?" and most importantly 3)"are you kidding me? we are getting ready to have a child and we pull this!!!!!!!"

Travis suggests driving all the way home to get the truck but that sounds even more ridiculous in my head so I call my mom and ask if they could come bail us out of the predicament we were in. As we stand in the baby isles of Target looking at each other thinking we are idioits. I start mentally measuring our trunk, I suggest to Travis that they may fit once the seats are down, he looks at me like I've lost my mind. I tell him its worth a shot b/c if not we we"re eating dinner with my parents and heading home..no date night. He apparently was really looking forward to date night b/c against his better judgement he agreed and went to get the car. (I have to tell you guys this) We have had a giant bow and arrow thing that my father-in-law gave Travis in the back of the car, so I knew Travis was hating life right about then. 1) he hates looking dumb in front of people, 2) he already thinks the Target guy thinks we are stupid for even attempting to cram these huge boxes in a sports car, and 3) now the Target guy is going to see this bow, why would we ride around with a bow and arrow? Somehow Travis hides the bow between the seats,and with the help of the Target guy they start putting the boxes in.

By some sort of miracle both boxes fit, the trunk closes and we are on our way. I call my mom to tell her we figured it out. I wish I would have taken a picture of us in the car, our knees were touching the dashboard but the boxes were in and we were able to finish out our date night! Saturday morning Operation Baby Room continued.....I can't express how bad I wanted to help paint our little p'nuts room but it's frowned upon. The painting is complete minus a few touch ups and trim. Sunday Travis assembled the crib and the dresser. Our little guy's room is finally coming together. We are so excited! Here are a few pictures of our progress :)
