Prepping the Cottage for Baby

Not sure how much we will be up at the cottage before the baby makes an appearance especially with School starting for both girls and all the birthdays that will pop up.  We had some family dinners in Van so we made a bunch of trips to IKEA to get office stuff and pick up a bunk bed for the girls so we can turn Rosie's crib/toddler bed back into a crib for baby.

Hubby and I spent the morning doing furniture moving and construction.  I took apart both toddler bed from the kids room and put one back together as a crib in our room. While I did that J started the job of putting together the bunk bed.  I think he cheated using power tools but it does the job done faster. It probably would have been easier for both of us but we had the girls helping with the construction projects and they liked moving things from where we put them, plus Rosie liked undoing bolts that I has put in to hold everything together while I tighten other things.

Once we finished with that we had a lovely lunch of poached salmon and corn sandwiches with a side of curried cucumber pickle and watermelon and feta salad.  I really want to try my hand at making a curried pickle this summer since that is one of my favourite way to eat salmon salad sandwiches with a nice thick layer of curried pickle which is very much a cottage things since we buy them from the preserve lady at the Saturday market on Denman island.  As an added bonus both the girls love them too.

Now I'm off to make banana bread with Rosie while Ladybug gets use to her new glasses.







I'll will have to figure out how to rotate the pictures on my tablet or phone since that is all I have to post on right now.
