pistons game

on saturday, we took a charter bus over to detroit with the fennville high school boy's basketball team. one of the assistant coaches invited the team after they heard about wes leonard's sudden and tragic death. you can read more about that here. we were treated like absolute royalty. it was great to see the boys enjoy themselves, as well as see gary and jocelyn leonard laugh and smile.

a STAR is born...

i must give a HUGE shout out to julie and tiff for an amazing shower. the girls know how to throw a mean baby shower. the party was held at butches, downtown holland in the wine cellar. it was amazing, they even had a red carpet set up for the guests to walk down. baby petkus was very spoiled. i should snap pictures of everything he received, but we'll save that for another post. thank you girls for ALL the awesome gifts! and all the advice

what a guy...

tony surprised me today with a day at the spa... well at least 4.3 hours! he bought a mommy to be package from design 1 salon and spa. i am shocked. i also feel way spoiled, like he deserves this more than me, given everything he has done in the past few weeks. 

the package includes:

• Pregnancy Massage
• Customized Spa Facial
• Executive Whirlpool Pedicure
• Paraffin Spa Manicure
• Shampoo and Style

i will let you know how it goes! it is scheduled for april 1st! woohoo! unless i chicken out.

craft time step one and step two

this girl lacks motivation. i can come up with great craft ideas, but then i just make my mom do the dirty work. i am attempting a new approach...blog about it and then actually follow through. i know, i know... you are all thinking (my one blog follower)i should be keeping myself busy with projects for baby, but i really want to do some painted pillows.

i love the idea of painting numbers on them and putting them outside on my front porch, on the bench that I don't have yet.

Step Two:
Set deadline and make a list of materials.
Deadline: April 10th
List:

1. pillows (preferably cheap or buy fabric and make the pillow case)
2. paint brush
3. black paint
4. stencils (or wing it, can I find stencils big enough)
