Benefits of moms nesting

I think I must be in the nesting phase already because all I want to do is repair/ redo something. Since we are not finding out the gender, we will wait to decide which room to put the little one in and therefore my sudden zest can not be put towards readying a nursery. So I'm starting with re painting our front porch and awning area. It's always been a pale creamy avocado? Color, not to mention rusted and will now be a lovely crisp white!

starting to see a difference:

(for the record, that lovely hanging flower pot has recently become the home to a very protective mama bird and her 6? eggs. so exciting to see nature at its best!)

G man hasn't seemed to mind being able to watch his pooh bear movies while camping out in his Thomas the train tent perched alongside me in the front yard. 

It can be so much fun having a little buddy and I loved that as I'm painting along, a sudden loud burst of his laughter will erupt from the tent and he'll poke out his head to replay it to me. Who knew pooh bear was so funny?? 

Love his sense of humor!:)
