Renovations Underway

Renovations are underway in the Jenks household.  Chuck has been busy painting his butt off.  He has gotten the kitchen and the playroom all done.  The weather has not really been cooperating with us so he hasn't been able to get much farther then that.  He is hoping we can get the nursery and possibly the rest of the house painted this weekend.  Hopefully it will be nice otherwise I guess I will be crashing at my parents house for a couple of days until the paint smell is gone.  We have started to get estimates to refinish the floors, replace all the trim in our house.  Other renovations that will be done will be by the best carpenter I know, Uncle (my other papa).  He will hopefully have time to re-drywall the entry and patch a hole in the baby's room closet.  Poor Chuck leaned on the wall to get something in the closet and fell right through... it was sort of funny when it happened.  Also he will replace all interior doors and we will figure out if we can replace the trim around the windows or if sanding and restaining it.  That task does not sound fun.  I can't wait until all of the renovations are done and the fun starts.... decorating!!!

Gender Reveal Party Invites Ordered!

I just finished ordering our invitations for our Gender Reveal Party we will be having on May 19th.  Chuck and I decided very early on that we wanted to find out the sex of the baby, but wanted to find out with our families.  The party will have a Bee Theme Gender Reveal Party.  For those of you who have never heard of a Gender Reveal Party; it is where we will ask the Ultrasound Tech on May 16th to write down on a piece of paper what the sex is and place it into a sealed envelope.  Chuck and I will then take it to a bakery where the bakery will then put pink or blue icing inside the cake.  When the day of the party arrives and we cut the cake we will all find out together what the sex is.  I can't wait to find out!!!  Now just waiting for the invites to arrive in the mail so we can send them out!! 
We got our invites from Etsy.com the shop we ordered from was noteablechic.
