Alakazoo lamingikaboo la bippity boppity boo

Sorry I have been pretty absent lately. We have tons going on just not really anything bloggable. I have been packing and cleaning still. I wish I could wave my magic wand and it all be done. Tomorrow we close and I am so excited. It feels like it isn’t really happening and then tomorrow they will hand us the keys!! That is so exciting. We have been talking through paint colors and room ideas. I think it is going to be so wonderful!

Hayden is keeping her same theme on her room that we did for her 2 yr. birthday. She currently has pink walls here at our house so we are going with the green walls this time and then we will paint one part that is like a reading nook, the pink to give it a little variety.

They are all sharing a bathroom and it was already a really pretty purple, which is exactly what Hayden requested so that will be really cute. I got them a froggie shower curtin that coordinates with all of the bug/butterfly theme they have in their bathroom now.

Then for Preslyn and Ella I found two themes that I think very much represent their personalities yet go together nicely. We are going to paint the room similar to the blue that is showing. Its very cute and girly and then we are going to decorate it really girly.

The one on the left will be Ella’s theme. I love these owls! They are adorable!! And then for Preslyn, my little spider monkey, we will be doing the one on the right. I am not going to do those curtins though and not the stripes. So it will be toned down a bit. Oh and they are still very much in cribs, so this will be a project for closer to their 2nd birthdays. I just wanted to go ahead and pick what I wanted so I could know how to paint their room and start buying stuff this year so its not so expensive all at once.

Pray for Hayden. Her little allergies are flaring up and today she had a runny nose. I am hoping she isn’t coming down with something right before the mayhem begins. We have our move, a wedding and then off to California for my brother’s wedding all coming up. So I am trying to keep us all healthy so we can survive!

Well back to packing!

moving, new home

Busy Little Bees

I’m sorry I haven’t posted in a few days…being that we are moving, my life is pretty much consisting of eating, sleeping, feeding children, packing and trying to do some exercise and fun stuff with the kids here and there 🙂 I’ve also been preparing for big shower this weekend for my brother and his soon-to-be-Mrs. as well as BJ’s best friend, Jared gets married this weekend!

Preslyn started saying DaDa last Friday. I was so bummed, as she was the last child that I had a chance with of saying MaMa first 😦 Oh well, it was very cute though. She and Ella have both been standing up and pulling up on everything. They are everywhere all of the sudden. Today Preslyn was sitting in her crib waiting for me this morning, so they are on the move and learning new things daily. They have also been eating up a storm. They are up to two meals per day now plus their 5 bottles. They are doing really well with the spoon. Ella’s new favorite is “Oswald”. Its so cute. Oswald is an octopus and the show has lots of fun colors and sounds/music. I think the show came out in 2001 but we have been seeing the reruns on Noggin. She absolutely loves it. She will watch with mouth open the whole time. It is a great distractor for them while I make dinner or bottles or whatever.

We’ve been recording the Olympics every day and watching the thing we like. Let’s hear it for Michael Phelps!!! WHOOHOOO!!! Wow, he is amazing! And the mens relay team has been awesome as well. We love swimming and have watched some gymnastics as well. Other faves are soccer, track, softball and syncronized swimming (haven’t seen that yet).

So Hayden is a little confused about the whole moving thing. Every day she asks if we are going to the “orange house” ToDAY?????? I tell her not until we get everything packed up into the boxes…so she will get motivated and ask to help…today she packed 7 books and was done. At her pace we won’t be moved until she graduates college. We’ve been deciding on paint colors for some of the rooms that we want to change…I’ll show you some more of the house….

Here is the living room


the breakfast nook

the kitchen

the view to the backyard

So, these are all pics of the previous owners stuff, we haven’t moved in yet, in case you are confused. We are really excited and can’t wait to make it our own!

moving, spring cleaning 07

Writers block must be contagious

I second you Rach….I got nothin’ interesting. And…I must say that I’m so excited that I actually know that you are referring to Meredith when she says “dark and twisty” 🙂 Whoo hoo!!!

Don’t be alarmed, I just don’t have anything really to blog about. Lately I’ve been continuously cleaning out the house. We are trying to decide what to do, whether to move or build or buy the house we live in or move to Alaska…(ok, so we aren’t moving to Alaska, but you get my drift.) So, I figure I want this move to actually be a productive one and done right, so I’m cleaning out, sifting through all of our junk. I love getting rid of stuff. So really, there isn’t much to blog about except my interesting finds throughout the day and my accomplishing tasks that I do. Like for instance, today I bleached my kitchen sinks…and I’m soooo proud of them. They are SHINING!!! Do a little dance, why don’t ya?!?!

(yeah, I can see that you are all as thrilled as I am, which is why I haven’t been blogging about my cleaning tasks.)
