Monday Snapshot: Home Improvement Edition

It's my turn to host PAIL's Monday Snapshot. If you haven't signed up yet, go do it! And go check out all the other shots to see what everyone has been up to.

Hi everyone! I'm excited to be here today guest hosting PAIL's Monday Snapshot. Although, when I first heard it was my turn, I panicked. We've had a bit of a fussy week over here, dealing with a three month growth spurt or something, and the one interesting thing we did (attended a baby friendly showing of Les Mis...ah, brought me right back to my junior high obsession) was not easy to capture in an iPhone photo. I know. I tried.*

But then on Saturday, Luigi and I accompanied Hubby to one of our favorite places...H.ome Depot! We needed some supplies for our latest project, the first phase in upgrading our "finished" basement into a more toddler friendly play room. Yes, I realize Luigi is only three months old, but this project is going to take awhile! And by the time he is toddling around, we are going to need more play space in our little house, for sure.



I love this picture because of the goofy look on Luigi's face, and because it symbolizes to me a lifetime of helping His daddy with projects around the house. I hope he will learn to be as handy as his dad. I also love the subliminal message I captured, completely accidentally, I swear!

Anyway, I won't bog this down with details about our project, but I do plan to share more about it here eventually, so stay tuned for more about our basement upgrade. Happy Monday!

PS: L did great at the movie. He slept on the way there and stayed a sleep for about the first 2/3 of the movie. He exhibited his flair for the dramatic when he chose to wake right at the climax of Eponine's big song..."a world that's full of happiness that I have known!" followed by a dramatic pause of complete silence, and a nice loud Luigi scream! That's my boy!

  1. It is so sounderful to go out to stores with your baby. I loved getting out of the house like that. And even better that you were able to catch a movie!

  4. What a good little shopper:] Don't you love the stroller caddy? Good luck with the project, we had to do the same. It's an unfinished, finished room. We got a piece of carpet remnant, stapled some clear wrap on the ceiling and filled it up with toys- have gotten our money's worth already! Oh, and hung some lights.
