Lately

-
I have still not unpacked everything.. somehow it just doesn't seem to be my top priority. I have managed to gag and blind my inner neat freak.. not sure how.. I'm just as surprised.
I am trying to rest.. everything hurts and my Braxton Hicks are oddly annoying and persistent this time around. Last time I hardly felt them.. and when they aren't acting up the kid goes on a kicking spree!
D started school and I am still driving around the neighborhood with my GPS trying to figure things out.
We are also planning our first renovation.. key word planning.. hoping to start executing soon. : D
I have been cooking..
We played our first board game.
And D is showing independence and growth.. he's our little helper.. even when him helping means more work.

    Looks like a great time! Your little guy is adorable! So funny at this stage when they want to help - it always does take a bit longer, and requires more clean up, but so worth it!

    Hope the Braxton Hicks subside!

      Thanks.. yes, it is cute watching him try. We joke that he wants to help with chores now then these are the same chores he's going to try to wiggle his way out of..

    Beautiful pictures
    Hope you are feeling better. Braxton Hicks are the pits. Slow down is the only thing that helped me way back in those days.
    Careful with renovations, fumes, dust and such. Plan a nice spa day.

    What a nice shot of the deer. I'm assuming it's in your backyard, which is so cool. Love the picture of your little guy ready for school. So cute.

Kitchen and Family Room: New Flooring

-
Image
When the wall between our family room and kitchen see details here came down we had to deal with two different flooring, old carpet and newish laminate. The plan was to find the same laminate.. we found the box in the basement, how hard could it be? Harder than we thought.. that particular one had been discontinued.. and finding something similar was not an easy task..  Finding a flooring that was kind of close but not close enough would seem like a mistake.. so we decided to go different, this way it would seem like an intentional design choice.. I had always wanted a chocolaty dark floor.. The next thing to take into consideration was the transition between the two floors.. generally what is used it a T- Moulding, that strip you see in the above picture connecting the two floors together. Not the prettiest option. Pinterest to the rescue..  Adding tile to the mix would help to blend the two different brown together and there would be no awkward bump in the floori

D's Amazing Race Party

Last weekend our eldest turned 9.. and we threw him an amazing race birthday party! As with all the boys other parties.. I bought a plain white cake from Wegmans and let D decorate it himself. We had a total of nine kids.. they picked bandanna's out of a bag to create 3 teams. First Task Not all the kids knew each other.. they were too amped up with the idea of winning that they couldn't manage to calm down and read the clue.. so we had to really guide them through it.. they made mistakes and we let it go.. it seemed a tad chaotic..  Second Task I had 33 little medicine cups filled with M&M's and Goldfish crackers.. 6 of them had stickers on the bottom. The first two teams found the sticker in the first try... what are the odds!? And the third team had to eat a lot of snacks before they finally found their sticker. Third Task I bought 48 piece puzzles from the Dollar Tree. The boys took their time making
