My husband is a star!

  We now have all of our nursery furniture!  This was a big weekend for the nursery nook, we were already expecting the glider to be delivered on Friday, but we weren't expecting to find a great deal on a dresser and bring it home on Sunday. 

  A few weeks ago I saw that Babies R Us was having a sale on all of their gliders online for one day only, and seeing as I love a good deal, and after going to a not-so-close local store front to test out the gliders, P and I finally made a decision and ordered one.  Once the glider was in Houston, I scheduled the delivery for my half-day off.  This is where it got annoying.  The delivery entailed just one guy who couldn't really lift the box, and he just left it in the "entry way" of our house...I could barely get the front door to close once he put the box inside.  So I was stuck with a huge box on the first floor that belonged on the third floor of our place.  One of the downsides to living so far away from friends and family is that we didn't really have anyone we could call to help P bring the box up, so after a relaxing steak dinner at home and a movie, we decided to tackle the project.  The hubs definitely brought his A game and got the box all the way to the third floor before we realized the box would not fit through our bedroom door.  So, we took the door off of the wall and broke the box down enough that we could slide the chair in to our room.  Phwew. That was enough work for one night!

  On Sunday we decided we needed to do some more scouting for a dresser for The Bean.  We looked at some furniture stores, went by Babies R Us to look at the leader in the club house for durability, and then decided to go by USA Baby.  I totally wish we had gone there a week ago because they are going out of business and everything was marked waaay down...they had just sold almost everything by the time we got there.  We found a great quality dresser that was on sale for cheaper than the 'leader', so we snatched it up!  Only problem was, this meant P would have to haul it up to the third floor as well.  We had to move more junk out of the nursery nook to make room for the dresser and then P hauled it up the stairs.  He is going to be sore for a week from all of this hard labor...he is such a hoss!

  Finished product?  I knew the nook area was small, but now that it has all of the furniture in it, I am not sure that there is a great way to arrange the furniture.  Here is how we have it so far:
 Thanks mom and dad for the dresser, we are so excited about it!  Your Grandson is too, he told me ;)
