An update

Daniel has been asking me to update our blog for like a week.  I don't really have a lot other than house stuff to update with.  I am sure it has to be getting boring for you guys, but here you go. 

Before we started painting the walls were white flat paint.....ugh.  Daniel has been great about letting be put color wherever I want.   

This was on our first paint day a few weeks ago. 

I still can't believe what a little bit of color does to a room.  It is amazing!  If you can't tell, the newness of having a house still has not worn off.   The paining is all done and the decorating has just begun. (As much as we can with a small budget.)

Umm...the bathroom, almost done.

I have had a few requests to see the inside of the house.  Well, the only rooms that are close to done are the bathroom and the boys bedroom.  I am not ready to show the boys room until it is just right.  The bathroom still needs a painting or something on the wall, but it is almost there.  I also have a few more accessories on order because they were out at Target.

I went with a transportation theme because I have always wanted to do one.  I got this great truck from michaels at a super great price.  It looks much better in person.  I love the towels

I don't know if you can tell by the picture but these cabinets are great.  We have come a long way from Wymount pink, green, and blue.  LOL.    In this picture you can see part of the blank wall that just needs something.  We decided not to paint this room because I was worn out.  (and it is expensive).  Any suggestions on the artwork?
I just had to post this picture because I love those little shower hooks.  They look so great.  There is also the cutest rug in the bathroom of a dump truck.  Sorry no picture.  You will have to wait a little longer for any more pictures of the house.  We have to work on it slowly because we are still students...with a student budget.

We are in our new house!

We are officially in our new house, and we got the internet hooked up yesterday! We are very happy to have a place to call our own. For those of you who didn't know we have been living in other peoples homes for a month now. We are so thankful to those who helped us make this move.
All of us are doing really well here. Carter has already had 2 play dates, and Chase was invited to one but we couldn't go. Carter is really adjusting to school and is already sounding out words better. It is so nice to have someone else teaching him what I have been trying to teach for the last few years. Chase is having a hard time with Carter at school. Yesterday he wanted to call him and ask him to come home. When he did arrive home Chase was nothing but smiles.
I hate the heat, but having a home makes it better. We made the boys share a room and used the others for a play room and guest room. Now they have space to play inside when it is so hot outside. They have really awesome pools here. The newest one to open up has two huge water slides and zero depth play area. It only costs $1.50 per adult and $0.50 per child. We go at least twice a week. People say that in the next 4-8 weeks it should cool down!
