sock monkeys


Had some fun times with the MIL and DIL (mum in law & dad in law) this morning. We got breakfast at Bob's Red Mill which was delish, and then made our way over to Mill End Fabric who boasts that there is "no bigger display of fabrics in America". I think they are right.
We got fabric to make a new sheet, and bumper for the bassinet! What we ended up with might surprise you...but then again, maybe not -
SOCK MONKEYS!!! The fabric the monkeys on it will be the bumper, and the fabric that looks woven like the actual sock (even tho is not) will be the sheet!! TOO cute!!





Now don't worry...we haven't abandoned the 'rockets and robots' theme! They just didn't have any good fabric for that, and we all sort of fell for the monkeys. But, really, who wouldn't?? His 'big boy' room will be all spacey, but his baby bed will be filled with crazy monkeys :)

Also: I have done laundry today. Now I have clean clothes to wear and clean sheets to sleep on! I think I lucked out because Mike likes to do his own laundry - what a great guy! Speaking of which he is on his way home right now after hangen' out w/the guys all day...I should go get ready so we can get some dinner - yum!
