We didn't ride Dumbo, but took advantage of the photo-op.
Adam was paraded around like royalty. And he knew it.

Swagbucks
Hey everyone.
You might have noticed that there is a little box on the right hand side of the screen marked "swagbucks." Swagbucks is a search engine that rewards you for searching. It works like google or yahoo, except you create an account and it keeps track of your searching. Every once in a while, you are randomly rewarded with a "swagbuck." You can trade these in for real-life rewards. I think the best deal they are offering right now is 45 swagbucks for a $5 amazon gift card. It took me almost exactly 30 days of regular internet searching to earn my first amazon card. Yes, it's just $5, but that's $5 more than I had at the beginning of the month. If I keep it up, I'll earn $60 this year, just by searching the net!
But, if I can get friends and family to refer to swagbucks, I can earn more while they earn as well. Which means the gift cards could come faster. I plan to put the Amazon money I am earning towards a new and upgraded camera. After a year of faithful service, the camera I got as a Christmas present last year was recently damaged by my sweet toddler. It still works, most of the time at least, but in the mean time I would like to save for a new camera. I've got my eyes set on one that will also take HD videos.
So, if you would like to see more and better pictures of the star of this blog, consider getting and using a swagbucks account. Maybe you will earn some Amazon money, too.
Just be sure to click through my referral so I can get credit for your searching as well! Consider downloading their toolbar as well. It's non-intrusive and makes the searching easier. Oh, and, there is a limit of one account per household.

Yummy! Mickey Waffles are the best
We rode "It's a Small World" about five times. I think it could have been 1,000 if time had permitted. The best part of the ride was watching Adam enjoying the "kids singing."

Adam's Big Boy Room
In early August, we decided it was time to move Adam out of the nursery and into a "big boy room". The nursery was too small for him to spend time playing in and we had another, bigger room in mind for him. Our intention has always been to keep the nursery a nursery until we are "done" (no we don't know when that will be yet). After the work was done, we were very glad that we made the switch when we did because we found out that same week that we are expecting baby number two, due in May.
I painted the walls and ceiling, stripped of the old carpet and tackboards, and installed new blinds (which were generously left new in the box by the previous homewnder). Karl helped me cut, stain, and install quarterround to restore the original baseboard molding. Here are the results:
The bed looks lumpy because I estimate that there are about 1,000 of Adam's stuffed animals under the comforter, all of which he insists must come to bed with him each night.
Coordination organization shelves from Target, a birthday gift from Grandma and Pop Russo.
The beloved Thomas the Train set, which is almost always out and in use. I don't mind that it doesn't get cleaned up very often because it brings Adam such joy. I love watching him pretend with his trains. And for those grandparent-type folks, yes that is a radiator, but it is cool to the touch and kid-safe. This room is the farthest in the house from the HVAC unit, so it does help take the chill off.
The penguins are a souvenier from Daddy's childhood. I was glad to finally have a place to hang them. The pooh cross stitch is from MomMom Gebhard, and hung in the nursery until now. Adam still loves his pooh!

Getting Caught Up
I know, I know, I've been horrible with updating this blog. It's time to remedy that a bit. We're snowed in this week so I have no excuse. I've got lots of photos to share, so I'll share some without too much comment.
