Fun and full Weekend

We had a full, fun Weekend. We went down to Rosemead for the whole weekend. We got to help with painting the soon to arrive baby Caringella's room. The color is very nice-misty lawn. It is kind of like a light mint green. The room will be animal theme...like noah's ark kind of. We painted and painted and......got paint all over ourselves-some more than others!! Grase took pictures so hopefully those pics will be up on her blog soon. We made a bunch of tissue paper flowers for the baby shower too! We had such a good time and can't wait to go back and help some more. The big baby shower is November 22nd so we have a little more than a month to go. Another highlight is that we got to go to Chris and Connie's newly remodled hall for meeting (well I did I forgot to grab Karson's suit when we left-sorry Karson). It was very nice. I grew up in Rosemead and their hall (Monterey Park) was one we visited off and on. It looked totally different!! They worked hard and it really looked good!! It is really small but they had to work with what they had since there is no room anywhere to try and build a new hall. We really are spoiled since we got a whole new Kingdom hall. There are a lot of places where new halls are just not possible. The baby was kicking during the watchtower but when I put my hand on Grace's belly she stopped!! :( One of these times I will feel her kick!!! It is still a 70% chance it is a girl but I really hope it turns out to be a girl! I have big Disney plans for her outfits!!!! Grase is afraid she will be spoiled but what can you expect-she is the first Caringella grandchild!!
We also had a great homemade meal from Chris on Sunday. He is a really good cook!!!! How come two of my brothers can cook better than me???? I am very proud of my brothers who can cook though!!! It was a busy weekend and I am sure I am leaving out some things but I am sure Karson can add to this blog. Until next time!!

I don't think that there is much more to add... Although I think it was to be more like a jungle theme, than a Noah theme. But I can be wrong. I too really like the color of the room. I ended up painted longer than the sun stayed up on Saturday. Then, as Desirae said, we made those tissue paper balls, and watched The Fiddler on The Roof; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiddler_on_the_Roof_(film))

because Connie had never seen it before. But every one either fell asleep or left before it was over, accept me and Grase, as usually. Light weights. As we where heading to bed Grase and I took one look at the first coat in the room, it had to dry over night before we could put on the second, and she says: "We should paint the doors too." Well, I was thinking, Better do it now or it will only get one coat of paint on it if it is done tomorrow. So, When she went into her room I snuck back into the babies room and painted the doors. She was so happy in the morning when sh saw that the doors where painted. It made me feel good, Plus I was glad that it was done with.

Yes, too, as Desirae said I did not have my suit, wah wah wah. So I took the opportunity an empty room and did all the high painting, since I ended up being the only one who could reach this location. So now I get tho sore arms, and neck... But it's worth it. We did not get to go to Portos like I've been wanting, since I am the only person who has not been there, but there may be other occasions I guess.
