Umm...our new house ROCKS!

I don't usually like to go on about material possesions, but I really have to talk about our new house. Today we headed off to Toys R Us to get some extra sand and picked up a play table for train sets and such too. We got to the new house and the sun was out (which is amazing as we have had very wet cold weather this week). Jeremy dumped the new sand in the box under th play yard and then he and I ate sandwiches while the girls played and played. I unloaded a few of the kitchen boxes that we had already brought over while the girls played upstairs. Later (after naps) we went back and put together the train table, which came with a little train set and tracks. The girls never stop moving while we are there and so far they haven't even cared that there's no TV. Hmmm.. I might be on to something. The bonus room will be without TV for awhile at least. Jeremy and I keep giggling because we can't believe we are going to live there. It was such a beautiful day and we just sat admiring the view. I am really looking forward to getting settled in, and changing the paint in the dining room!

Love songs to a 3 yo

Have you ever tried to explain a love song to a 3 yo? It is not so easy. Seeing as how most music is about love, either just falling, breaking it off, or the nasty kind it is hard to avoid. So while drving home from preschool today there was a song about "I would rip open my heart, so I could feel again". So she asked me what the song was about. I told her it was about a man who missed his wife. Sure, it sounds good, right? So Cassidy suggested, "Maybe he misses her because she went to the grocery store." Now if only my hubbie missed me that much when I went to the grocery store!

Papers are signed

After much fuss, and not from our girls, the papers to buy our new house and sell our current house are signed. Woohoo! Let's just say that the Escrow company we used has "Professional" in their title, and were nothing close to pros. But, the papers are signed. Now we just wait to get the keys. Jeremy and I are very excited. I can't wait to get in there and figure out where things are going to go. It's amazing how little time we have spent in the house. Although we have been driving past it on a regular basis.

School Quilt

Well, it is done. It took just under a week to finish the quilt. Since we had to scrap my Irish Chain squares, we started from scratch last Saturday. It was a lot of work, but I think it looks pretty good. I'm sure the girls are going to miss meals coming from a papernbag and TV all day long!

The Lizard of Oz

Cassidy's school quilt is supposed to be finsihed tomorrow. So how is it I have a spare second to blog? The other mom who is helping out had to leave b/c her daughter became ill. Which isn't too surprising. The class is falling like flies thanks to the "chicken pops". Or as I would say, the chicken-pox. So I have had to park the girls in front of the TV more than I like to admit. Cassidy's favorite right now is "The Lizard of Oz". The Muppets rendition which we have on Tivo. At least I know what she will want for Xmas this year.
