It's Been A While....

We're finally moved it and settled (for the most part). I was able to get us all unpacked and most of my projects are done... The only one left (besides this blog) is to paint our bookshelves black. That will get all the rest of the boxes out of the garage which we can actually PARK in! YAY!! The kids still go to the front door when I say, "Let's get in the van!" hehe

So what's new with....

Marky-Mark - is now on days at his wonderful profession! YAY! We never thought we'd see the day. NEVER. Monday thru Friday 7:00 - 3:30. We get to actually see him on the days he works! And he can eat dinner with us and tuck the kids into bed and be awake on his days off!! Woohoo!! :)

This weekend he is off to a bachelor party 9 hours away for his cousin and best friend, Billie. He was pretty excited about it. He's going to win enough money to pay off our house. hehehe Just kidding. He'll be back on Monday. I'll be glad to see Monday. I miss him when he's gone even just to work, so four days is going to take forever!! I'll make it though.

Laina - has a  purple room. She still says that she likes her blue room from our other house better because she like DARK purple not light purple. hehe But she still likes her room.

Below her alphabet is her little reading corner which she uses.

Her new bedding set from her Grandma Sally.

What it looked like before we moved in

Oh and her favorite part of her room....

Her Closet!

Laina also is learning all sorts of new things because her favorite word is "Why?" "Why does the sun go away at night?" "Why is it raining?" "Why is it hot?" "Why can't I see the wind?" "Why does this person do that?" "Why are we eating that today?" "Where is God?" "Why is the squirrel burying nuts?" "Why are we driving there?" Mom says, "Let's go get 'jamas on." Laina, "Why?" "Why?...why?...WHY????" I try to give the most scientific explanation I can so that she is actually learning something when she asks. But sometimes the answer is "because that's how God made it" or "because we have to." hehe It cracks me up.

Her other new thing to do is she likes to check out the time on the clock. She doesn't understand it yet, but she always wants to tell me what the numbers are because she knows that it's time for something. This leads to a another conversation: she asks me "How is it time to get up?" I say, "You mean 'When?'." She says, "Yeah." Or "How is it time to eat?" "You mean when." "Yeah." But then the next time it's How again. Every once in a while she actually means "How" and that throws me off! haha I love it. The brains of little ones.

Well, I'll continue on later. I'll post this for now and will start with Sutton next. :)
