November Update

I've been slacking on our blog, mostly because there hasn't been much other than the ordinary going on. Doug is super busy with school and is working hard to keep his grades up. He goes to school two hours before class to study and then comes home from work, swallows a little dinner and then he's back working on another paper or project. We will all be glad to have this semester over with.

I have been busy finished up projects that i started before harvest. I finished Blake's tractor quilt and pillow case and his room it totally put together except for curtains over the closet. His room is also storing our desk for now, so i will take pics when its totally finished. This is his third night sleeping downstairs and he's not moving back to his crib, since i took it down today and put it away for a while. Blake seems to adjust to change so well. He has done so great moving from crib to twin size bed, upstairs to downstairs. We are trying to introduce potty training, but switching everything else might be enough for him for now.

Don't worry though, his horse named "Cup" is already potty trained. The other day i was fixing my hair in the bathroom and Blake comes running in telling me his "Cup horse needs to go pee." He puts the lid up and puts the potty seat on and hold the horse over the toilet while he kind of sings the word "Peeeeeee." Oh this kid cracks me up all the time! He has the best imagination.

We also had a new front door put on our house. Not only was our last door real ugly, we had a horrible draft coming through last winter. We will need to paint it next summer, but we are glad to have it put in before winter.

Our next project is the Office (blake's old room upstairs) and our bedroom. We are priming, texturing, painting, replacing interior doors and baseboard trim, and having new carpet installed. We have been aching for an office for a while now and have just been waiting for Blake to be old enough to move downstairs. Our kitchen table seems to collect everything: Cub Scouts, Primary, text books, computer, holiday decor, bills, purses, backpacks, and everything else that doesn't a spot in our house. We are looking forward to having an office to hold all of this randow stuff lying around, so we can use the table for family dinner! We are also excited about the change from hardwood floors to carpet in our bedroom!

We are hoping to have the carpet layed the monday after thanksgiving and then move everything back into the 2 bedrooms upstairs. Oh, and let's throw a couple of Modbe Parties, Enrichment and a Primary Talent Show in before Thanksgiving too! Call me if you want to help paint!
