new chair!!

So with the clean up in the garage I was able to get an area to craft. So i was motivated to work on my chair....They would not load in order...so top is new bottom is old!!

Update on the kids!!

Ok so a few weeks ago Rachele wanted her training wheels off. So Lee took them off and we helped her ride up and down the drive way. She did not get it. She was bummed out so I told her Aunt Beth was a good two wheeler teacher. So on Friday she asked Aunt Beth to teach her how to ride. So my very great sister who just finished running on her trendmill and was headed to the shower came right over (she lives across the street) to help her out. Well after about 30 minutes she kinda had it but had too much drama so she didn't continue. Later that night in the driveway she said can I ride my bike...I said yes but daddy and I are busy so we can't help. She said ok I just want to see if I can get started. She got more than started she just took off and is so happy to be riding.

Kenny is still having training issues. The boy just doesn't get it. He knows when he goes but does not want to go in the potty. It is crazy. He does good at daycare but not at home. Anybody know why??? I have heard boys are harder to train but this is silly. His vocabulary is getting larger and very interesting. Nothing bad but it is funny that he uses the right word when needed.

Cleaning!!!

Ok as most of you know from FB we have been cleaning. I have some before pictures of the dining room but its not totally done yet so it will be a bit before I get them up. We moved onto the garage because it was such a wonderful day yesterday and the kids wanted to jump on the trampoline. Any ways, my craft corner is taking shape. A lot more work needs to be done but we are headed in the right direction. We cleaned out the lower part under the shelves you know the part on the ground. It was all stuff the owner left behind. So we moved it to the shed not knowing if they want it or not. Well that gives us a lot more room to put totes and get rid of some of the clutter in the garage. So with the nice storm rolling in I'm not sure how much work will be done outside but I can finish the inside.

Almost there!!!

Okay starting on the 28th I have 6 days off...good for me!! So we are going to do a major re-organization. I think I might have said that in the last post. Well we have started with the living room. I forgot to get before pictures...I will on the next room. There is a huge difference in space. It is still a small room but looks bigger. We replaced one bookcase with a new one that we got on clearance at Target...plus put up 4 more. We got all our movies on one bookcase and the kids movies on another one along with Kenny's diaper/potty training stuff. I hope to soon have those two shelves empty here in the near future. The other bookcases are for our religious books and stuff. One bookcase for family stuff like pictures and so on. We have no idea for the last one but I'm sure we will figure something out soon for that one. We are going to get the garage cleaned up and open a corner so I can craft...again. I won't be able to do this come winter time but hey some time to craft is better than none right?? Ok so the plan is to get in shape to live here for at least another year...if not more. We realize that something was telling us to stay here with losing two houses!! So in a year we will search again. Maybe by then we will be all set and we will be able to find our perfect house.

Blogged out!!

Since we lost the house I really have nothing to look forward to...ok maybe not that bad.

We are doing a major re-organization in my house because we lost the house so that should be fun.

We got a few new toys.

We are getting rid of the little puppy as Kenny calls her...she keeps peeing on the floor...even on nice days.

My classes are almost done for this semester and I'm taking the summer off to enjoy life.

I hope to be on day shift by May 31st, which is when the new schedule starts.

I do really feel depressed...not sure why??? Any thoughts??

The House!!

Ok so we have some colors picked for the outside...burgundy and green. Main color is going to be the burgundy and the trim will be green. It is not that dark of a burgundy but it is still burgundy. The green will be a hunter green color. It isn't called that but thats what it looks like to me. I can't wait. In less than two weeks we will be home owners again...even if we can't move in right away it is still ours. We are thinking of other colors/decor for the inside. Some of the wall paper is in really good shape and we like it so we are going to keep it for now.

I hope that I can post pictures in the very near futher!!!

A few steps closer!!

Well, we met with who we hope will be our contractor. He seems to think he can get things done that need to be done plus a few extras...yeah!!!

I signed the paperwork to have the agreement between the contractor and me.

Before leaving Holly we stopped at the little pizza place. The waitress remembered us, asked which one we decided on....I think I'm going to love that small town life.

Our finance guy has requested the appraisal...once that is done it should go fast.

We have a meeting with the historic commission in Holly next Thursday...I'll keep you posted.
