so busy!
Since we've moved, I've been too busy to get on the computer. I think it's because I have a bigger house to keep clean, so when the kids are napping I don't have free time to go play on the computer like I used to. It's been a big adjustment moving from our tiny apartment to a nice spacious home. It's a lot more work, and harder to keep track of the kids, but I'm loving it. We're still trying to get used to things like garbage day. ha. I'm so used to hauling our garbage down the the dump whenever I want to. I love having a disposal, but I still find myself throwing our leftover food in the trash, just out of habit. One thing I never forget about is our laundry room! I love having a washer/dryer so much! I still get excited to throw a load of laundry in whenever I want to, and not have to round up enough quarters and run downstairs, outside, around the building just to do a load. It's great! And I love our king size bed. After sleeping in a queen for 2 years, we don't even know what to do with all the space of a king. T has been climbing in bed with us in the middle of the night since we moved here, and we usually don't even notice him there until the morning! ha ha! We use our pool everyday. I still feel like we're on vacation every time we hang out by or in the pool. It's so nice. We're trying to get used to Sam being gone a lot more. We didn't realize how good we had it during school, and I find myself looking forward to the weekends a lot more now then I did while he was in school. It was so nice to have him all day Saturday & Sunday. I've pretty much mastered using just one hand for everything, as I'm generally holding little sis all day long. ha ha. Seriously this girl does not like to be put down. I know what you're thinking....just don't hold her all day, and she'll get used to not being held, but you don't understand the scream this girl produces when she's not happy. It's amazing that such a little girl can produce screams like she does. Really. She's a total drama queen.But when she's being held or mommy's real close, she's the happiest baby around. She's eating everything now which is fun and easier for me. I just cut things in small pieces and she likes everything she's tried so far.

Here are some pictures of the last week.








A few days ago, I gave T a cracker and Ollie was bugging him, trying to get it, so T ran to his stool and held his hand up high and said, "not for you doggies!" ha ha ha. Smart kid.


Nap time for T has been a struggle lately, but he still needs a nap or he gets super fussy around 3pm. He knows if he comes out of his room the first time I put him in there, that I'll lock the door the 2nd time so he never comes out, but I always go check on him after he's been quiet for a few minutes, and when I do, he's usually asleep, but I've found him in some pretty interesting spots around his room....rarely in his bed. Sometimes half on his bed. ha ha.


The grocery store by our house has a mechanical horse for kids that costs a penny! ONE CENT! T gets to ride every time we go to the store, usually multiple times if I have the pennies. I hold on to all my pennies now. ha ha.


anyway, little sis is waking up. Gotta go :) Sorry it's taken me so long to update.
