Can't believe the week is almost over, only a few more hours! Since last Saturday it's been insanely busy, and chaotic. Starting with Julian being sick, me starting to baby sit Gabby(1yr old), then Josh getting sick. Whew. I must admit, someone(perhaps my Mother in Law) once told me, after you have two, it's always like the third doesnt make a big difference. I did not believe this phrase, until now. Truly, having a 1 yr old running around.. in addition to my 4 year old, & 5 month old, does not make a big difference. The biggest difference is the noise level, which I just have to adjust to. Before, when it was Ju & myself, adding another seemed like so much more work!!! haha.. Am I saying we'll have a third? Absolutely not the point im trying to make, however, its possible way far down the line. I simply can not believe im saying that, because I was so sure i was done, & still feel so complete.. I dont know that I want another (down the road) but with that being said, no long know that I Def DONT want another. However, its nice to know I can juggle three on a full time bases! :)
Our Piper friend was hanging from my wine rack the other night...
Then last night he was on our living room window seal, she was on swiper watch. If you know my son- you know he is dealthy afraid of 'swiper'. Yes, I know what your thinking, "there arent any foxes running around"(dora the explora) But here's the thing.. Julian swares and insist that squirrels are swipers. He has nightmares of them weekly, and everyday when he plays out back & im not joining him, I have to have the "wimbo" up. He screams everytime he sees a squirrel and runs under our screened in back porch. It's intense, and annoying. So i told him Piper is watching for swipers and each one she sees she uses her magic to make them nice & our friend. I know, far fetched, but im so over this insane fear. WE have SIX live oak trees on our property.. and have others the line our fence on our neighbors side. He has to get over this!!..
so here is Piper doing her magic..
Today was a short day, Gabby left around 2:30 so the boys & I headed out to run some errans once daddy got home. We went to lowes & ended up buying a few things we needed, but were putting off. They were on sale.of course, otherwise they still would be on the back burner waiting..lol. I am dreaming BIG for my laundry room. I want so badly to get new energy efficient washer and drier, it doesnt have to be anything fancy... just something that doesnt use a whole crap ton of energy. I enjoy doing my laundry outside, but dislike that i have to arrange around Mississippi weather. And sometimes i am just lazy and dont feel like going outside.. so for days like that i'd like to be able to dry inside without running the drier 3 times before clothes being dried.. Im praying we are able to afford a new set after income tax? but we shall see. We also got Ju a fan for his room. His room is the hottest in the house- and my poor baby sweats so bad as is... would be his luck to pick the hot room to be his. & all that sweating sometimes effects his blood sugars at night. We been meaning to get him one over the last year, but always would forget, or what not. But tonight..(i assume because it's winter and its SUPPOSE to be cold) they were on sale! we got a really nice fan that is usually 80.. for 41! score! Also got a few supplies for our outside patio. When i found our house listed, it had only been listed for a day. I came to see it alone, because Josh was in FL for school. I knew it was our house.. ( got that.. " this is it" feeling ) and one of my most favorite points is the back patio.. i kenw it had soooo much potential!!! just needed a little TLC. And over the year we have put that off as well! we redid cabinets, all lighting, took our cabinets over bar, replaced sink, painted kitchen, living room, dining room 2, laundry room, did jai's room, put up our back splash, installed a over stove microwave, re did all fixtures in all rooms except our room, did landscaping in the front, and now finally making our way to the back yard. We are starting with scrapping up the fonky paint over the concrete..and re painting it all one clean grey color. Next we are hanging new fans, replacing the screening, and screen doors, then getting nice patio furniture. Josh dreams big of building a bar out back, next summer after everything else is done.
u can prolly see how crummy the patio is.. first off the pattern is weird.. and the paint is pealing. white is a baddd choice.. shows all dirt my boys carry in! but besides that.. look how sweet my baby is!
buted his butt! again u can see the paint.blah!
Jai Butt found his toesyy!
Here is peek of my Jai walking in his walker! Growing up toooo fast!!!!!
she has road in a parade in Julian's room two nights in a row, HAHA.. whoops... and has hung out from our vanity lighting after writing on the mirror. And last night she was simply ' a elf on the shelf'. After Pipers trip to the North Pole last night, she came back and set on the shelf in Jai's room.
