President's Day Happenings

Our long weekend was pretty low-key, until I went to put on some socks and sat down on the bed in our room--the instant I sat down, I hear a loud "CRACK," and the mattress collapses to the floor! Wow. Talk about an ego boost!

Now, you have to understand that we have VERY nice bedroom furniture that is very high quality (thanks to my very generous grandparents...we love you!). So of course, I assume that my ridiculously huge pregnant figure is what caused the bed to be crushed under the enormous weight and pressure of my body...I wanted to cry. :(

Turns out, when we rearranged the furniture a few weeks ago to make space for the baby's bassinet in our room, the support bar in the middle of the bed was jostled out of place and wasn't supporting the weight of the bed. It just happened to be the moment I sat down that the nails decided to burst from the wood...luckily Hans and our friend Brian were able to nail and screw everything back together, and my self-confidence has recovered... In other not-so-depressing news, Reily has decided it's fun to throw everything he can find down the stairs--especially his bath toys...

Here is his beloved shark, about to make the descent...

And in honor of President's Day yesterday, Hans got the day off and got to spend a lot of quality time with Reily! As you may know, Hans loves history and presidents (President's Day is his favorite holiday...), and Reily appears to be taking after his Daddy...the night before he randomly pulled Hans' big book on Presidents off of the shelf and began flipping through it! Like father, like son...
