1. New Carpet
I finally FINALLY broke down and got new carpet for the three rooms. The carpet was gross, covered in stains, and could of been the original carpet from the 1970s...I don't know. Regardless, I finally bit the bullet and put $2218.02 onto a HomeDepot credit card that is interest free for 6 months. I am SOOOO happy that this occurred.
I moved all the furniture myself and then Tanya helped me move most of it back into the rooms. I switched a lot of the furniture around (and Erin gave me a bed to borrow) so it is essentially like I have three new rooms. Yay!!
2. The dressers
Done. Because I can't really take it anymore. This was a lesson in the fact that I have no patience....or at least not enough. A few weeks ago I sanded and started to stain the two dressers that I have had from childhood. The staining process went terribly wrong so I decided that I will paint them white. THEN I decided that I would paint a green stripe down the side like something that I saw once on pinterest. After that didn't go as planned....I stopped. I couldn't do it anymore. I moved the dressers into the boys room. Owen told me he didn't like it (as well as every single visitor...except Tanya....)
There is a picture on this post of one of the dressers. Maybe when the boys are in school and I have significantly more time to do projects around the house...these will be tackled again.
3. Back to bed
This morning Cameron woke up at 655. I went into his room and told him to go back to bed. I laid with him for less than a minute, got the boys sippy cups and they have been asleep for another 30 minutes. It never works out this beautifully!
4. Naked dance party
Last night we got home sort of late from the gym. BACK STORY: I have had some type of infection on my face and I have not mentally been able to get out of the house. It has about a month that I have been the the gym. I went to one spin class and 15 mins of yoga since I have been back from Rosemary. SOOOO the scale didn't like me much.
So we got back from the gym and the boys were eating blue berry muffins and cereal for snacks and started to squish it and make a mess. We decided to take our clothes off right there to contain it a bit. They thought this was great. It was hilarious to see them run around with just socks on their little feet and of course....Owen couldn't stop dancing.
5. Books
We read four books a night while both boys lay in Cameron's bed. Last night we only read one book because it was SUPER long. But this has really made our bedtime much easier. Also, the boys actually sit and listen to an entire book which didn't happen last year.
He didn't want me to take his picture. But went into the gym and ran all the way into childcare with his sunglasses on. I love it!
Another 10 minute activity with the boys.
Here are some of the updates to the house. I am going to have to stop for a bit and let my bank account catch back up.
I had a friend say, "Cameron has the sweetest smile and Owen gives the best hugs." He was right. And these boys are so stinking cute. .....I know....I am obssessed.
Last year I started measuring the boys in the closet. OH. MY. GOODNESS. They are HUGE. I love this picture because it even shows how Cameron is growing out of his pants...but he hates change (like his mom) and insists on wearing them.
The boys are starting to stir but at least I got my blog done. YAY!!!
