Is it just me or is this work week going by slow?

Can this week get any slower? It's only Wednesday! I so wish it was the weekend. I have tons of things to do!!

== Here's a picture of the diaper cake my little sister Lani sent me. It didn't arrive in time for my surprise shower. Super cute! ==

Preparing someone for my job while I'm out on maternity leave is the pits. I'm hoping the person is capable and understands my job wears many hats in the office. Thankfully, our office has switched over to a new phone system and I have that down packed! I love getting new electronic devices...its that feeling of learning new things and all of its neat features.

Other than work-related stuff, we still have yet to find the hardware to our crib. But, hey we got the bassinet ready and I've washed most of the linens and will be working on washing new baby clothes and some of Evan's hand-me-downs. Then there's the cleaning and rearranging of furniture in the spare room (soon-to-be Jacob's room). I've got majority of Evan's smaller-sized clothes organized in labeled bins. It's just the matter of putting them neatly in the closet.

As a family of three, we went to the Greatest Show on Earth - R&B Circus this past weekend. It was well worth it. If you're a friend who is reading this and despises the circus - don't hate me! We thought long and hard about taking Evan and the circus is a childhood memory for both Cy and I. So, we thought Evan would enjoy it - which he did. Had great seats and was mesmerized throughout the entire show. Ask him what was his favorite part of the show...he'll say the elephants and tigers and dogs -- the boy just loves animals! Here he is with his laser toy he got at the circus.

And speaking of animals, I picked up some really cool-looking valentine's day cards with animals for his classmates at school. He's so excited about it. We're going to modify his V-day cards a little bit -- I'll have a picture after we finish. He's just super excited!!

I'm making mini cupcakes for his class and had to run out to Michael's last night after I picked Evan up from school to get some of the cute mini cupcake liners. Whatta ya know...of all nights, they were making a kids craft. How can we pass that up. Here's what Evan made at Michael's - a valentine's day bag.

Come on weekend....get here already!!
