Ready for some random thoughts? Well here goes!
I feel things have been so hectic lately and I am not sure where to start. My house is an absolute mess at this point; half packed boxes and boxes that need to be put together. I think this is going to be the new norm for a little bit. We did have the inspection on the new house and everything went great. There were some minor changes we wanted done and all of them we requested them to fix they are going to do! Woo hoo!! Things are getting there. We are just waiting on the appraisal and we are scheduled to close on October 1st. I think it is kinda surreal still. Even though we are moving down the street we still have to pack an entire house and unpack. All to move down the street. LOL. It is going to be worth it!
I have been contemplating what I am going to do with Kinley's room. Is it really time to turn her room into a big girl room? I have seen some fun inspirations on Pinterest but nothing that I am set on. We have been throwing around putting her in a twin bed but to be honest I am quite terrified of taking the leap. Does anyone have any helpful hints? I don't want to do a toddler bed because in a few years she is going to need a twin so I think we will just start there with some rails. I haven't been able to find a bed that I love yet though. Any ideas?
Kinley started back at daycare this past Tuesday and she loves it. We have the best daycare provider and she loves the kids. She was driving me a little crazy yesterday morning so I decided to pack her up early and take her to daycare. Wouldn't you know, we got there and she was fine. I guess she was getting sick of hanging out with me! Hey that is ok! I needed some space too. She jumped right in playing with the toys with her friend. She kept insisting on giving her hugs. It was the cutest thing! She gets along great with the other kids and had no issues going back after being off all summer. I'll be honest I was a little worried about it. Once again she surprised me and did awesome! She does love her cuddles with her Ms. E.
I have been missing my mom lately. She is coming out for Christmas and I couldn't be more excited! I am definitley not trying to rush Christmas but I am ready to see her. She hasn't been here since last winter. My sisters keep saying they are going to come out eventually so hopefully I will get to see them sooner than later. Unfortunately I don't see a visit to Colorado in our near future. There is just too much going on and we really need to focus on our family. Plus I was there twice this year. I wish it wasn't so expensive to travel there! Buying 3 plane tickets is not cheap! But hey it always works out!
I am not ready to believe fall is fastly approaching. I do love fall but I want more pool days! I didn't get enough of them this year! How does that happen?!! I think I need a pool in my backyard! Just kidding! I do not want that maintenance. Did you check out of fall bucket list?
What are some of your random thoughts lately? My mind has been so scattered the past few weeks. Sometimes life is crazy and you gotta slow down! I am going to enjoy my day date with my hubby. Happy Thursday everyone!!
Fall and family come hand in hand. I think its about comfort for me. When its cold outside there are memories of getting together inside. Warm food and baked goodness.
ReplyDeleteCan not wait for all the baked goodness!! Pumpkin pie here I come!
DeleteCongratulations on selling your home and purchasing a new one - right down the street! When my girls were small we invested in lovely white furniture from Pottery Barn Kids. We also purchased their sheets, comforter and a few accessories such as pink lamps, etc. These are great transition pieces, and will last for years to come! Happy Thursday to you too! :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you!! I definitely should check out Pottery Barn! Their things are always pretty amazing! Thanks for the idea!
DeleteThat's awesome that your mom is coming to visit. I'm lucky that my mom lives close. I don't know what I'd do without her helping me and just being around so much. I've been totally scattered this week with the holiday. I'm ready for a normal week...and Fall! :)
ReplyDeleteIt is very hard with her so far away! I miss her so much! I hope you have a great week!
DeleteI can imagine how stressful this must be for you. You will surely manage it and your house will turn out beautifully! And knowing your mom is coming must be such a power boost. Enjoy fall!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Annemarie!
DeleteWhat a beautiful family. I know what you mean. I can't remember when hubby and I have had a day alone. I think it's time to set up a lunch date while my kiddo is in school. :) Nice post. Many blessings to you guys!
ReplyDeleteThank you! The day alone was wonderful! We didn't do anything but go to store to store looking for Halloween decorations but it was fabulous! Oh and we got ice cream :)
DeleteGreat news on the new house. Moving can be so hectic and it must be really hard to get ready to move just down the street. We moved 1 mile into our current house so it seemed like a lot of work packing to move such a short distance. It might be the perfect time to move your daughter into a twin bed when you move to the new house. You're already making a change, so it seems like you might as well! Good luck with the move.
ReplyDeleteThank you Carol! I am not looking forward to moving at all. We are renting our current house so have a lot to do to prepare it. I think you are right about moving her to a twin bed when we move!
DeleteHow exciting to be moving into a new house! It may be hectic now but you'll soon be making it a home and it will be worth it.

Thank you Cynthia! We are very excited, though I will be more excited when we are all settled :)
