Puttering around

Just puttering around today, trying to find things for the yard sale we're having in the middle of August. So far I have some clothes and a lot of teacher books. I'm moving into a new classroom at a new school after teaching at the same school for 7 years, so I have a lot of stuff accumulated that I need to get rid of. Will be going through boxes from school later today.
I'm also working on baking for a wedding cake that I'm making for this weekend. Five tiers and two sheet cakes is a lot of baking! It's going to have round cakes with white frosting and copper colored dots alternated with square cakes with copper frosting and white swirls and cornelli lace. I'll try to post a picture when it's done.
We got an email from Sarah, our adoption coordinator telling us that the dossier paperwork that had to be notarized by the social worker is on it's way back to us. I had also emailed the Secretary of States' office to see if they ever give appointments to have papers apostilled, but she said they only do that for five or fewer documents. On a positive note, she did say that most people Fed-Ex them and have them returned within 3-4 days (the voice recording that I called said 30 days and I kind of freaked out!).
I'll be out of town all week next week at a teacher training , so Chris will probably be sending the papers for apostille, then making the copies to send with the original to the agency. Thats' going to be hard since I'm such a control freak, I like to do everything myself, though I'm learning quickly to let go through this whole process.
I think I might go out and get some pictures for the baby's room today. I saw some cute flower prints the other day. They're kind of small but I thought if I clustered 4 together they might look good. Right now the walls are bare except for new yellow paint that we did right before our social worker came for our 1st homestudy visit. My mom is going to get furniture for the room between our two trips after we know how big our daughter will be. We've asked for a girl younger than 24 months, but there's a big difference between an 8 month old and a two-year old. I'm kind of hoping she's on the younger side, especially since this is our first child. We found a beautiful crib online at Target.com that I love. We'll probably get it either way since it's a convertible crib. Oh, well, enough typing for now, gotta get back to work on yard sale stuff and laundry.
